For internal communications, HR and L&D
Internal podcast platform
Explain what’s happening and why, wherever and whenever your people work.
Have a leader tell the story behind a change. Share experiences from another location, or help new colleagues find their feet. With Springcast, you publish internal podcasts and video in a private app. Employees use their phones to listen to the shows they have access to, whenever it suits them.
You’ll speak to someone who knows the platform and will tell you what it can and cannot do. We reply within one business day.
“With Springcast PRO, all our employees can listen to our internal podcasts even more easily.”

For your employees
Turn an internal update into a conversation
A new way of working raises questions. Why is this changing? What does it mean for my work? Let a leader talk it through with a colleague from the front line. In Springcast Mobile, employees can find that conversation, listen to it or watch it, and respond.
Other conversations to share
Help new employees find their way
In an onboarding series, colleagues introduce their team and their work, with one clear topic per episode. That gives new starters a point of reference alongside the guidance they get on the job.
Pass on expertise and product knowledge
A specialist explains a product change, with a link to the details and, if there is something to see, video as well.

Video and link
Show how the work is done
If a speaker needs to show something, you can add video. A link in the episode points to further information. Your team decides what extra content an episode gets.
IllustrationIllustration with fictional content, not the actual product interface. Chapters, transcripts, video and links are available if your organisation adds them to the episode.
Find and resume an episode
In the app, employees can search for a show or episode. If they have started an episode, they can go back to it and carry on listening.
At their own pace
Anyone who prefers a quicker pace can increase the playback speed. Audio keeps playing when the app is running in the background.
Respond and follow
Employees can like an episode and comment on it. Anyone who follows a show and has notifications switched on can be notified when a new episode comes out.
The app interface in ten languages
The app interface supports ten languages: Dutch, English, German, Danish, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Swedish. Your organisation publishes the content in whichever language it chooses. The app does not translate podcasts, videos or text automatically.
Access and management
An app alongside your intranet, for the right people only
Your intranet holds news, documents and work instructions. Springcast adds a mobile app where employees find the shows made available to them, listen or watch, and respond to episodes.
Your intranet (SharePoint, for example) is where you introduce the show and explain how access works. Your team manages shows and episodes in the Springcast platform.
Your intranet
News, documents, work instructions and the introduction to your show.
Springcast Mobile
Find available shows, listen, watch and respond.
Private distribution runs through the app, with shows set to private. There is no private RSS feed for listening to these shows on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. A link on your intranet does not replace the invitation or the company login. Downloading the app alone does not grant access either.
Invite by email
You add an employee to a group and send an invitation. Once they accept it, they create their own login details for the app.
Sign in with SSO
Employees sign in with their company account, through your organisation’s identity provider. They do not need a separate password for the app. You arrange the connection with IT.
SSO is available for a one-off fee with Company and included with Enterprise.
No company account?
Are there employees without a company email address or account? Raise this with us early, and we’ll look at the access options together. Agree with IT what role your identity provider plays in this and how you handle staff changes.
The same app.
Access by group.
| Group | Organisation update | Stories from the North location |
|---|---|---|
| North location group | Access | Access |
| South location group | Access | — No access |
You decide who sees each show
A show is a collection of episodes. With groups, you control which employees have access to that show. In Mobile admin, the workspace owner assigns those groups to the show. That way, a show with organisation updates can be available to two locations, and a local show only to its own location.
To restrict a show to the right groups, you need two settings: set the show to private and assign those groups. Each new show needs its own group assignment. Without an assigned group, the show does not appear in the app.
User management with SCIM
With SCIM, IT can create and update users, change group memberships and revoke access using delete or suspend. This supports administration when employees join, change roles or leave.
SCIM is included with Mobile and only works if your organisation uses SSO for the app. So you need both Mobile and SSO: Enterprise includes both, and Company includes Mobile, with SSO as an option for a one-off fee. Assigning groups to shows remains a separate step for the workspace owner; SCIM does not replace it.

We’ll help you and your IT team choose the right sign-in method.

Listening figures from the platform
Decide in advance what you want to measure. Downloads, average percentage played and completions each tell you something different. The figures below come from two measurement sources: the platform’s general analytics and a sample of playback data from the Springcast player. The completion rate in Mobile is a separate measurement and is not included in this table.
| Metric | What it shows | What it does not tell you |
|---|---|---|
| Downloads and the post-publication curve | A download is a counted playback request. The post-publication curve (Day-curve in Podcast Analytics) shows listening activity by day since publication, for each show or episode. | Only listening sources included in the reporting count towards the curve. Compare figures within the same measurement source, each taken the same number of days after publication. |
| Average percentage played | This figure (Listened Percentage in Podcast Analytics) shows what percentage of an episode is played on average, measured in the sample from the Springcast player. | It is a different measure from the number of completions. |
| Completions | A completion is a play that reaches at least 95% (audio) or 100% (video) of the episode, measured in the sample from the Springcast player. | It does not tell you who listened or finished. You can see that per person with the onboarding and training module. |
| Pausing and skipping | Pause and skip actions show how people use the player, where that data is available. | They say nothing about why someone pauses or skips. |
The general analytics are updated daily. No listening figure proves that someone has understood the content.
Read how Podcast Analytics measures listeningFind your next topic in the comments
A question in the comments can be the starting point for a follow-up conversation. In Mobile admin, you can see the total number of likes and comments, the number of comments and emoji per show, and how often each of the six emoji has been used. For each episode, you can read the comments themselves.
Keep the conversation on track
Agree who reads and answers the comments, and who moderates them when needed. You can delete individual comments. Any replies stay readable, and the app indicates that the original comment has been deleted. Comment moderation is included with Mobile.
Run your own analysis
Prefer to use your own tools for analysis? Access through the API or MCP has to be activated separately. With Company, API access is not switched on by default. Tell us in advance what data your organisation needs and how employees will be listening.
For IT and your DPO
What IT and your DPO will want to know
Involve IT, your data protection officer (DPO) and your budget holder in two decisions: whether to use the app, and what information you share through Springcast. The security documentation and details of how we process data help with your supplier assessment.
- Our applications run in the Netherlands, Germany and Finland.Video hosting: EU infrastructure.
- On request, a compliance officer takes your team through the security questionnaires.
- Procurement & Security onboarding is included with Company and Enterprise. With Company Light, it is available for a one-off fee.Your organisation still follows its own review and procurement process.
- Per-person insight is optional.Only the separate onboarding and training module shows who listens and finishes, per person. For regular internal podcasts, a setting to see who has listened, per person, is coming soon. An administrator switches it on.

Plans and pricing
A choice you can justify internally
No charge per mobile user
You get custom pricing for the mobile app, access and the set-up you want. There is no charge per mobile user, and Company and Enterprise have no maximum number of listeners. So inviting more employees costs nothing extra per user. Your quote specifies how many shows and how much storage and traffic you get, and which extra features are included.
With or without the app: which plan is right?
For the mobile app, choose Company or Enterprise. The table shows what each plan includes.
| Feature or service | Without the mobile appCompany Light | With the mobile appCompany | With the mobile appEnterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springcast Mobile | Not included | Included | Included |
| SSO for Mobile | Not included | Available for a one-off fee | Included |
| SCIM for Mobile SSO | Mobile not included | Included with Mobile; SSO required | Included with Mobile; SSO required |
| Comment moderation | Mobile not included | Included | Included |
| Procurement & Security onboarding | Available for a one-off fee | Included | Included |
An app with your own branding
A white-label app makes that possible. We agree the set-up and costs with you separately. It is not included as standard in every plan.
Annual contracts that do not renew automatically
Company Light, Company and Enterprise all run on an annual contract with an annual invoice. You receive a new quote before renewal. The contract does not roll over by itself.
Weigh up the options with us
We’ll look at which plan suits your organisation and how the price is made up. Your DPO is welcome to join. Would you like the data processing agreement (DPA) and the security documentation before the call? Let us know when you get in touch.
Getting started
Your first internal podcast in five steps
Choose your audience and first show
Decide who the show is for, which story deserves attention and who is responsible. Your organisation handles recording and editing, in-house or with a producer.
Agree on access and requirements
Talk to the colleagues involved, and to us, about invitations or SSO, groups, staff changes, what you want to measure and the right plan.
Set up the show and episodes
Prepare the content, title and description, and schedule publication. Set the internal show to private and assign the right groups. Add video, chapters and a transcript where it makes sense.
Introduce the show
Use your existing channels to tell people what they can listen to, how the invitation and the app work, and how to follow a show. Name a point of contact for questions about access and content.
Evaluate the show
Read the comments and only use figures when you know what they include and what they leave out. Also ask employees whether they can use the app at the times you had in mind, and adjust the content and introduction to match.
The next step
Let’s talk about your internal podcast
On the call, we’ll work out with you whether you need the app, how to set up access and which plan is the right fit. We’ll also go through the price breakdown. Bring your questions about measurement, so we can see which reports you want and what the platform offers.
Still working on your first show? It’s not too early to explore the options. If you know roughly how many employees and locations are involved and how they sign in, we can talk about the set-up in practical terms straight away. We reply within one business day.
