Overview

Boomcaster is a remote recording and livestreaming platform for podcasters and video creators, founded in 2020 by Hari Gopalakrishna and headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was built to solve a common problem in remote podcasting: recording quality degrading due to a guest's unstable internet connection.

Each participant's audio and video is captured locally on their own device and uploaded as an independent track, so the final recording is protected from connection drops or lag during the session, while the platform simultaneously supports live multistreaming to social platforms.

Key Features

Boomcaster supports up to 4K video and lossless 48kHz audio with multi-track recording, plus simultaneous live streaming to YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitch. Automated transcripts and real-time captions are available in more than 30 languages.

Transcript-based editing lets creators cut silences and awkward pauses by editing text rather than a waveform, and producer mode allows a silent monitor to join a session without appearing in the recording. The platform also supports managing multiple shows and team roles.

Pricing

Boomcaster's plans are Starter ($20/month, 5 hours, $4.20/extra hour), Indie ($45/month, 15 hours, $3.60/extra hour), and Pro ($75/month, 30 hours, $3.00/extra hour), with annual billing giving 12 months for the price of 10.

An Enterprise tier offers custom pricing with SSO/SAML, SOC 2 compliance, and dedicated support, and a free trial is available on the standard plans.
