Often called "the IMDb for podcasts" — a database of 5.5M+ shows with detailed profiles, episode metadata, and reviews. Podchaser Pro adds audience demographics, sponsor tracking across the top 5,000 podcasts, and transcript search.
Pricing isn't public — you'll need a demo, with plans reportedly starting around $2,500–$5,000+/year. Excellent for research; it stops at the research phase, though — no outreach tools.
A podcast marketing platform for brands running sponsorship campaigns. Sonoday MCP turns a campaign goal into a curated shortlist from 1M+ active podcasts — not just research, but a path to reaching out.
Contact emails unlock at €3 per podcast, pay-as-you-go. Podcast Sprint runs a done-for-you 14-day campaign with a 73% average response rate.

When Podchaser Pro Is the Right Choice
When deep audience intelligence drives your decisions, or you need competitive sponsor tracking across 4,100+ brands. One caveat: Podchaser doesn't do outreach for you — it stops at research.
Choose Podchaser if: you're doing agency media planning, need competitive sponsor intelligence, or want deep audience analytics before committing to a strategy.
When Sonoday Is the Right Choice
When you're ready to move, not just research. Pay-as-you-go pricing means you're not locked into a five-figure annual contract to run a single campaign — find shows, unlock contacts, and reach out in one platform.
Choose Sonoday if: you're executing a sponsorship campaign, want transparent pay-as-you-go pricing, or want a done-for-you option with a proven response rate.
The Real Difference
Podchaser answers: "What do I need to know before running a podcast campaign?" Sonoday answers: "How do I actually run one?" For most marketing teams, the bottleneck isn't research — it's execution. That's the gap Sonoday is built to close.
