Castr OTT: The Preferred Choice Over Muvi One
Why industry professionals are making the switch to

All-Inclusive Pricing
One fixed monthly rate covers everything – no infrastructure fees, no additional app fees. Unlike Muvi’s variable pricing, your costs remain constant as your streaming business grows.
24/7 Technical Support
While Muvi limits support to email-only, Castr provides 24/7 technical support via Slack and WhatsApp for immediate assistance when you need it.
48-Hour Launch
Unlike Muvi’s unspecified launch timeline, Castr guarantees the launch of your web app in 48 hours, then expands to mobile and TV platforms within 30 days.
Built-in Emailing System
Send transactional and promotional emails through Castr’s built-in emailing system at no extra cost – a critical feature Muvi doesn’t offer at all.
Multi-CDN
Castr partners with industry-leading CDNs (Akamai, Fastly, Cloudflare) for maximum global reach, while Muvi relies solely on their own CDN infrastructure.
Multiple revenue strategies
Flexible revenue generation through subscriptions, one-time sales, freemium, and rental models – all with zero commission fees.
