Sponsors / Sponsorable alternative
Looking for a Sponsorable alternative? See who sponsors podcasts, from $29/month
The short answer
Pick Who Sponsors Pods if you want a simple, lower-priced list of which brands sponsor which podcasts, with promo codes and first/last seen dates. Indie is $29/month and Pro is $79/month.
Pick Sponsorable if you need ad-buyer contact details (email and LinkedIn), an API or MCP server, a free tier, or more than 90 days of history. We don't offer any of those.

FAQ
Is Who Sponsors Pods cheaper than Sponsorable?
Our paid plans are $29/month (Indie) and $79/month (Pro). Sponsorable lists Starter at $39/month and Pro at $99/month on its pricing page (checked 2026-10-21). Sponsorable also has a free plan with 10 credits; we offer a free top-50 sponsor list by email.
Do you include sponsor contact emails?
No. We show which brands sponsor which podcasts, not the people who buy the ads. If you need buyer emails or LinkedIn profiles, Sponsorable offers contact reveals.
How far back does your data go?
The last 90 days of episodes, on every plan. "First seen" is the first date we observed a brand, not the start of its campaign.
Do you catch ads that are only spoken in the audio?
No. We read the written show notes in public RSS feeds, so ads that are read on air but not listed in the notes are not captured.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans renew until cancelled and you can cancel from the Stripe billing portal in your account; access continues to the end of the paid period.
Is there a free trial?
No, but you can get the free top-50 sponsor list (CSV) by email and browse every sponsor page for free.
Which podcasts do you cover?
About 5,194 active shows found through Apple Podcasts top charts (US) and Podcast Index trending lists, across 14 categories.
How often is the data updated?
Daily. Feeds are re-fetched and the site is rebuilt every day.
