Recast enables media owners to sell their content at a fair and affordable price,
directly to any consumer, anywhere in the world, with zero cost.
Subscription fatigue is growing, and there is a desire amongst consumers for more flexible, pay-as-you-go options. In fact, 39% of consumers are likely to cancel a subscription service in the next year.
The need for a micro-transactional alternative has never been clearer; the value of micro-transactions for media will reach $288B by 2027.
Recast provides this alternative.
Recast is the most innovative and scalable content monetisation solution in the sports and entertainment industry, enabling a fair and accessible value exchange between the consumer and the content owner.

Our technology is simple to embed into your technology, enabling the consumer to watch without ever leaving your site. And it can be used as a complementary or standalone solution.

Earbuds Chat is the successor to EarBuds Live with a refocused mission to deepen connections through sharing music.
With Earbuds Chat, you’ll be able to share music and chat with any paid Spotify or Apple Music user - all in one chat app. No more juggling between music apps and text messages. No more :shrug: because your Apple Music link won’t work with your family who only uses Spotify. No more YouTube video links with annoying ads. That means you can build playlists with a mixed group while you give each other a hard time for adding that Bieber song - yet again. Or, you can wax philosophical with your buddies about the real meaning of American Pie while you listen to the song.
