NextKast offers pricing that reflects a complete operating system — not a list of unbundled modules or hidden fees. You can evaluate the cost with confidence because there are no surprise add-ons

Choose the model that best fits your budget and operational needs. Owning your software avoids lease disruptions and keeps you running during outages; leasing keeps updates current with predictable costs. Either way, there’s no lock-in risk.

Transitioning to NextKast OnAir is handled carefully and methodically. Built-in import tools support most major automation systems, allowing existing libraries, schedules, and data to be brought over without manual re-entry or guesswork. The goal is a clean transition with minimal disruption to on-air operations.

NextKast was built to be intuitive so your operators and DJs can become productive quickly, lowering training time and reducing mistakes that can lead to on-air issues.

NextKast is engineered to operate reliably on modest, purpose-built systems, minimizing variables that can affect stability. It runs on Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro with a 3.0 GHz Intel or AMD CPU (or higher), and its typical RAM usage is exceptionally low—often just 40–100 MB—making it far less demanding than most broadcast software. Storage requirements depend only on the size of the music library, while a 4 GB video card is sufficient for display needs. Most sound cards are supported, though higher-quality cards are recommended for FM stations and microphone input. For streaming, a dedicated internet connection with at least 3 MB upload and 10 MB download bandwidth is advised, reserved exclusively for broadcasting. To ensure maximum reliability, the broadcast computer should be used solely for NextKast with a minimal OS installation, and if antivirus protection is desired, Windows’ built-in security tools are strongly recommended to avoid unnecessary background interference.

By consolidating tasks into one platform, NextKast cuts down on repetitive manual work so your team can focus on content, not maintenance. This reduces labor risk and operational overhead.

NextKast combines automation, scheduling, traffic, and plugins in one platform so you don’t have separate systems to synchronize or troubleshoot. That means fewer failure points and easier disaster recovery.
