Podzay vs PodPitch: which fits your workflow?
Both help guests get on podcasts, in different ways. PodPitch is a paid outreach tool that drafts pitch emails with AI and sends them from your own inbox to hosts in a large podcast database. Podzay is a matching platform where hosts and guests who joined to connect find each other, message, and schedule the interview. The better fit depends on whether you want to send pitches or start conversations with people who are open to them.

What the public says
What people say about PodPitch
We looked at PodPitch's own site and public discussions so you do not have to. In our review we did not find a rating on a major review site, so this section relies on community threads, one competitor's write-up, and PodPitch's own claims. The picture is mixed: some guests report bookings, and several hosts are unhappy with the volume and quality of pitches. Every comment is one person's opinion, so test any tool yourself.
Pricing
PodPitch does not publish prices. Its site offers a free trial and a demo, and says you can get a quote on a live demo.
How it sends
Pitches go out from your own email account, so your sender reputation is part of the picture. Hosts' replies come back to you.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about seven months ago): a guest who used it for two months said they had been on about six podcasts and had around seven more booked, and called it one of their best investments.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about six months ago): one commenter said they had gotten several good interviews from booking groups like it, and a host said an email they received was well matched to their show.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about two years ago): a host said agencies that contact them for a guest are hit or miss, at about the same rate as guests who write to them directly.
- PodPitch's own site: it reports a 67 percent open rate and a 23 percent reply rate across its campaigns. These are the company's own figures and we could not verify them.
- LinkedIn (about six months ago): a well-known podcast host wrote that they receive generic pitches at high volume from people who found them through the service, and that they never agreed to be contacted. The post drew dozens of comments, and several hosts said they get similar emails.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about six months ago): one host said emails they believed came through it feel low quality, claim to have listened to the show without evidence, and for a while addressed them by last name only. They added that it is not a scam, just low-quality pitching.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about four months ago): a guest who paid said they got one booking, and more replies asking why they sent automated pitches.
- Reddit, r/podcasting (about six months ago): one person said they received an email, addressed to them by name, praising a podcast they had never made. Another said they got a similar email and suspected it was automated.
- Competitor write-up (February 2026): a rival tool's blog said some listed contacts bounce and that manual review of each pitch takes time. It is written by a competitor, so weigh it accordingly.
- Pricing: sources disagree. One Reddit commenter listed plans of roughly $1,500 or more for three months, and a competitor's blog cited a monthly figure. PodPitch publishes none, so we do not quote a price here.
Summarized from PodPitch's own site, public Reddit threads, a LinkedIn post, and a competitor's blog as of October 2026. Commenters are not named, and some posts are several months old.

What Podzay is built around
People who want to talk

Relevance first
AI-powered matching draws on topics, expertise, interests, audience, and podcast requirements, then you review the profile and write your own message.
Free to join now
Founding Members get full access free, plus a free trial, with no credit card required. Future paid plans would apply only to people who join afterward.
Choose by your needs
Which approach makes sense for you?
Consider Podzay if…
You want to find relevant people, learn about their show or expertise, start a conversation, and arrange an interview in one place.
- You are a host who wants guests suggested to you, from people who chose to be there.
- You are a guest who wants to write your own messages and keep a PodLink page for your appearances.
- You want a free start with a free trial and no credit card.
Consider PodPitch if…
You want an outbound campaign that drafts and sends pitches for you, with tracking and follow-ups.
- You or your team want to reach many shows with little manual work.
- You want open and reply tracking and automatic follow-ups.
- You are comfortable with a paid, quote-based tool and reviewing each pitch before it goes out.
Where PodPitch is the stronger pick
PodPitch has a very large podcast database, campaign automation, and tracking, and some guests say it has landed them bookings. If you want to run outreach at volume, those are real strengths, and we would rather you pick the tool that fits how you work than one that only looks good on a feature page.
If you would rather start conversations with people who have opted in, and message and schedule in one place, Podzay is built for that.
A closer look
Start with how you want to be heard
For podcast hosts
PodPitch is built for guests and PR teams, not for hosts, so as a host you mostly meet it as an email in your inbox. Some hosts in public threads said that pitches sent in bulk are easy to spot and easy to delete. Podzay lets hosts review profiles of people who joined to be guests, discuss an episode, and arrange the interview.
For podcast guests
A good pitch shows that you know the show and have something useful for its audience. PodPitch can draft and send pitches at scale, and some guests report bookings from it. Others said the emails felt generic. On Podzay, you find shows where your experience is relevant, review the host's profile, and write your own message.
On pricing
Podzay's Founding Member policy gives everyone who joins during the founding period full access free, along with a free trial and no credit card requirement. Future paid plans would apply only to new members who join afterward. PodPitch does not publish prices and offers a free trial and a demo. Check its website and ask for the price and contract terms in writing before you decide.

Decide in five minutes
A quick way to choose
- Pick your approach. Do you want to send pitches to hosts in a database, or message people who joined a platform to connect? That alone usually points to the right tool.
- Write down your top three needs. Matching, messaging, scheduling, campaign tracking, or something else. Use the fit checker above if it helps.
- Try it on five real shows. Pick podcasts you would genuinely want to be on, and ask whether you could explain why you fit each one.
- Protect your reputation. If a tool sends email from your own account, ask how it handles bounces and volume limits, and read each pitch before it goes out. Hosts say generic emails are quick to delete.
- Compare the cost to the result. Podzay is free to use and includes a free trial. For PodPitch, request a quote and get the contract terms in writing.
