How much does Cast98 cost?

It's free for everyone to get started. If your show is quite large or if you want to unlock more advanced tools, a paid upgrade starts at just $50/month and you can cancel anytime.

Even better: Cast98 has a free version! You can post unlimited shows and manage your auditions and rehearsal schedules at no cost and when your show grows beyond the free tier, the paid upgrade is designed to be affordable for nonprofits and schools. Learn more about pricing.

Does Cast98 have a nonprofit discount?

It used to, but eventually I (Daniel - Cast98's founder) came to realize every community theatre is a nonprofit so I lowered prices, added a free tier, and stopped offering nonprofit discounts.

Does Cast98 have an education discount?

It used to have a nonprofit/edu discount, but since pretty much every theatre company is a nonprofit and every school is a... well... school, I (Daniel - Cast98's founder) just reduced the cost, added a free tier, and stopped offering nonprofit discounts.
