autopo.st offers stream hosting on its own infrastructure plus a large à-la-carte menu of add-ons: Now Playing auto-posting, widgets, web players, mobile and TV apps, secure streams, monitoring, and more. CloudRadio is a single $39/mo plan that bundles hosting and most of those essentials together. Here is an honest, current breakdown.
autopo.st prices its hosting and each add-on separately. The cost matters once you stack three or four add-ons on top of a hosting plan. Here is how the basics line up.
| Capability | CloudRadio One · $39/mo | autopo.st (hosting + add-ons) |
|---|---|---|
| Stream hosting | ✓ (HLS + Icecast, unlimited listeners) | ✓ (from $5.95/mo, listener-tiered) |
| HLS adaptive streaming | ✓ (64 / 128 / 256 kbps AAC, included) | $24.95/mo add-on (16 to 320 kbps HE-AAC) |
| Now Playing widget | ✓ | $4.65/mo |
| Embeddable web player | Free, 16 designs, HLS-ready | Included with hosting plans; $4.65/mo add-on for other streams |
| HTTPS stream / Port 443 | ✓ | Included with hosting; $4.65/mo for external streams |
| Stream monitoring / silence alerts | ✓ (free for any public stream, checked every minute from 4 locations) | $4.65 to $7.45/mo add-ons |
| Listener statistics | ✓ (included) | StreamStats, $7.45/mo |
| Report of songs played | ✓ (Spins export and SoundExchange Report of Use, included) | Track Reporting, $7.45/mo |
| Now Playing sent to TuneIn | ✓ (free once TuneIn or radio.net lists you) | TuneIn Auto Post, $4.65/mo |
| Now Playing auto-post (social) | ✗ | $4.65/mo each (X, Facebook, Telegram, Discord, Bluesky) |
| Mobile apps (iOS / Android) | ✗ | $24.95/mo |
| Smart TV apps (Roku / Fire / AppleTV / AndroidTV) | ✗ | $24.95/mo each, $79.95 bundle |
Bottom line: Both host streams. CloudRadio folds hosting plus HLS, the player, HTTPS, statistics, and monitoring into a single flat $39/mo plan with unlimited listeners. autopo.st starts lower and is more modular: you pick a listener-tiered hosting plan and add each feature individually, and it offers things CloudRadio does not: branded mobile apps, smart TV apps, social auto-posting, and Listen Again.
autopo.st hosts streams on listener-tiered plans, and each add-on is a separate monthly subscription. You pick a hosting plan plus what you need, and the bill is the sum.

autopo.st add-ons work on top of any stream, whether you host it with autopo.st or anywhere else. If you host your stream on CloudRadio, you can plug its HLS or Icecast URL into the autopo.st add-ons you want, like mobile apps, smart-TV apps, or social auto-posting.
The autopo.st add-ons CloudRadio covers (Web Radio Player, HLS Audio Streaming, Silence Detector, Server Down Detection, StreamStats, Track Reporting, and TuneIn Auto Post) come to $61.25/mo on their own. Folding those into the $39/mo CloudRadio plan keeps your add-on bill focused on the things autopo.st does that CloudRadio does not: apps, social auto-posting, on-demand audio.
Yes. autopo.st runs its own stream hosting (Shoutcast and Icecast, with AutoDJ plans, from $5.95/mo on infrastructure they own and operate). On top of that it sells 40+ à-la-carte add-ons (social auto-post, mobile apps, smart-TV apps, widgets, monitoring, fingerprinting, and more) that also work with a stream hosted elsewhere.
Yes. CloudRadio gives you a public Icecast and HLS URL that any third-party service, including autopo.st, can ingest. Use the autopo.st modules that fill in things CloudRadio does not bundle, like branded mobile apps or smart TV apps.
Not to social networks. autopo.st is the better fit if social auto-posting is non-negotiable. CloudRadio does send your now playing to TuneIn and radio.net once they list your station, and our public status feed gives the current song to your own tools, but autopo.st has social posting packaged ready to go.
Not as built-in features today. CloudRadio focuses on broadcast delivery, automation, monitoring, and the player. autopo.st sells both of those as standalone add-ons you can layer on.
$39/month, flat. Unlimited listeners, 750 GB storage, HLS streaming, and free stream monitoring on any public stream.
