Scoutcast is an all-in-one platform connecting film, music, and photography productions with crew, talent, locations, gear, and services. Think of it as the professional network built specifically for the creative and production industry.
Anyone in the creative production space — actors, models, photographers, videographers, musicians, DJs, makeup artists, crew members, agencies, content creators, location owners, gear rental companies, and service providers.
Yes! Scoutcast has a free tier with core features including profile creation, portfolio showcase, regional browsing, and messaging. Paid monthly plans (Creator and Professional, billed through the App Store or Google Play at the price shown there) unlock wider reach, Wall posts every month (6 on Creator, 14 on Professional), and priority in search. Any plan, Free included, can buy an extra Wall post at one flat price.
Scoutcast is built in Southern Africa and is available to download globally. Our community is growing — we started with a strong presence in South Africa and are actively expanding across Africa and internationally. Higher-tier subscribers get early-mover positioning in new regions as the community grows.
Build your portfolio with photos, videos, and project highlights. Actors can upload headshots and showreels, photographers can display their best shots, musicians can share tracks, and location owners can showcase their spaces. When you want to be seen, advertise on the Wall.
Yes. Gigs is the work board: browse and post casting calls, crew positions, music gigs, photography bookings and service requests, apply, and get booked. In Scout, clients find you by role, place and — for talent — look, so set your availability, location and rates.
We use industry-standard encryption, Row-Level Security on all database tables, and strict privacy controls. We comply with POPIA (South Africa), GDPR (EU), and CCPA (California). Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
Every post and profile has a report button. We act on reports of objectionable content and abusive behaviour within 24 hours: content that breaks our Terms or Community Guidelines is removed, and the account responsible is suspended or removed. You can also block any user at any time.
Yes. You can delete your account and all associated data from Settings in the app (step by step), or by emailing privacy@scoutcast.app. Your profile and posts are erased straight away, and so are most of your files — the rest within a day; our Privacy Policy (Section 9) lists the few records that stay, and why.
In South Africa, Creator is R149 and Professional is R299 a month. Every other country has its own price in its local currency, shown in the App Store or Google Play before you confirm. Payment is handled by Apple or Google.
