Castro

For creators

Switch to Castro

Castro is a simple way to run a subscription publication — and a better place to grow it. Bring your readers with you and keep ownership of the relationship.

Import

Bring your work with you

If you already have a blog, newsletter, or podcast feed, you do not have to start from zero. Set up a Castro, then move your list and archive when you are ready.

Mailing lists

Export subscribers from your current tool and invite them into your Castro publication.

Writing archives

Republish your best posts so new readers can catch up without hunting across old URLs.

Podcast feeds

Keep distributing episodes while giving listeners a home for chat, extras, and memberships.

Why switch

Independence without a custom stack

Own your content and your subscriber list. Publish free or paid posts without assembling a newsletter tool, a paywall, a host, and a site.

One place to publish

Articles, notes, video, and podcasts live in the same Castro, so your audience is not split across five products.

Marketing built in

Castro helps with discovery and distribution so you spend more time on the work and less time stitching growth tools together.

Direct to readers

Subscribers hear from you. You are not renting attention from a feed that can change the rules overnight.

Paid when you are ready

Stay free while you migrate, then turn on memberships, tips, and exclusive posts from the same publication.

“Moving was the point I stopped maintaining a stack and started publishing again.”
