Our honest take
Transistor's terms without Transistor's gate: 25% for life, join in one click. The arrears delay means your first podcast referral pays about two months later than you'd guess — say so in the review. Between the two, send volume to whichever your audience already recognizes.

Captivate — questions
Is Captivate legit?
Captivate is a real product from Captivate with its own checkout — check their current refund terms before buying. Legit ≠ worth it for you, though: weigh the cons above against where you actually are. Our score: 3/5.
Why does Make Money HQ link with affiliate links?
Because it keeps the directory free and independent. The commission comes out of the vendor's side, not your price. We'd rather be transparent and keep your trust — it's the only asset a directory has.
