Comparison based on features Media Realm publicly advertises for Radio Websites at mediarealm.com.au, as of October 2026. Media Realm is a trademark of its owner; RadioForge is not affiliated. If anything here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
Media Realm's Radio Websites is a turnkey WordPress product built for stations: a Global Player that keeps playing as listeners browse other pages, up to 30 days of song history with album art, program-guide directories for local events, businesses and job ads, and webhooks into Zapier or IFTTT. Its published Australian community-radio price is $1,500 AUD plus GST to launch, then $50 AUD a month for hosting and maintenance; it is sold globally as well, direct from the company.
WebForge gives a station a real website and an installable app for every device, not a WordPress theme, with live now-playing and an AI prep room for DJs. It's built and branded for the station in days, fully managed, and the station owns it, with a $0 setup fee and no contract.
