Head to head
For creators who want to pitch shows directly, PodPitch is the better choice, because it emails any matching host from your inbox with automatic follow-ups instead of limiting you to one marketplace.
PodMatch connects hosts and guests inside its own platform, and its own feedback page confirms message sending limits. PodPitch searches 3.85 million+ podcasts, writes each pitch in your voice, follows up automatically, and guarantees 4 bookings a month. PodMatch can still suit creators who only want hosts already browsing for guests.
Last updated:
The strongest public complaint about PodMatch is reach: PodMatch itself confirms there are message sending limits, much like social media platforms, and one user it quotes called the service “a huge disappointment.” PodPitch has no marketplace cap on who you can pitch. It reaches hosts by email from your own inbox and keeps following up until they reply.
PodMatch can fit a creator who prefers waiting for matches with hosts already looking for guests. For creators who want to go after specific shows, PodPitch fits better.
