Does Captivate Work in China?


What is Captivate?

Founded in 2019, Captivate is a podcast hosting and growth platform designed for independent podcasters and businesses. It provides advanced analytics, marketing tools, and automatic distribution to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Is Captivate Available in China?

Captivate relies on Western cloud hosting, which may cause slow performance, accessibility issues, or outright blocking in China due to The Great Firewall. Many of the distribution platforms it supports, such as Spotify and Google Podcasts, are either restricted or unavailable in China. Podcasters targeting a Chinese audience must use local hosting solutions and ICP Filing for compliance.
