# Podseeker > Podseeker is the podcast database for getting clients booked. Its foundation is active podcasts, listener estimates, and direct host and producer emails, connected to pitching, follow-ups, replies, and bookings. Last updated: September 2, 2026. Podseeker has two separately billed products: - [Podseeker Database](https://app.podseeker.co/database.md): A self-serve podcast research and outreach workflow for PR professionals, podcast bookers, in-house communications teams, and agencies. - [Podseeker API](https://app.podseeker.co/api.md): Programmatic podcast search, profile and audience data, verified contacts, and contact enrichment for applications, AI agents, scripts, and automations. ## Primary Use Case Podseeker is designed for PR teams that repeatedly book clients as podcast guests. A team can: 1. Create a client profile and review podcasts matched by Podseeker's proprietary Recommendations algorithm, or search the full database for high-fit shows. 2. Evaluate Client Fit, recent topics, guest format, listener estimates, booking information, and direct emails. 3. Use direct host and producer emails already in the database or request additional technology-first enrichment and data-team concierge research. 4. Draft and approve a personalized pitch using the client and podcast context. 5. Send through Gmail or Outlook, schedule follow-ups, manage replies, and record booking outcomes. Recommendations and full-database search are two paths into the same workflow. Podseeker is not a podcast listening app, an opt-in host-and-guest marketplace, or a done-for-you booking agency. Creating a client generates an initial set of 10 high-fit recommendations as a practical sample of the end-to-end workflow. Users can later request sets of up to 25 new matches, keep a complete recommendation history, move weak matches to Not a fit and restore them, and create new campaigns from recommendations that have not already been pitched for that client. Grow includes 200 recommendations per billing period, shared across the organization. ## Observed Booking Results In Podseeker's August 27, 2026 mature-pitch analysis: Pitches with an 85%+ Client Fit score had a 6.2% booking rate, pitches to Podseeker Recommendations had a 6.1% booking rate, and all mature pitches had a 3.3% booking rate. | Cohort | Pitches | Human outcomes | Booked | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | | All mature pitches | 5,012 | 675 (13.5%) | 165 (3.3%) | | Podseeker Recommendations | 263 | 44 (16.7%) | 16 (6.1%) | | 85%+ Client Fit | 894 | 154 (17.2%) | 55 (6.2%) | Podseeker Recommendations are proprietary client-to-podcast matches based on the client's profile and the podcast. Client Fit is a separate score used to evaluate how well a specific guest and show align. A human outcome means the pitch thread was classified as interested, declined, ghosted after engagement, or booked. It is not an email open rate. The Recommendations and 85%+ Client Fit groups overlap and must not be added together. These are observed associations, not randomized proof that Podseeker caused the result, and they do not guarantee future bookings. See the [Podcast Outreach Benchmarks 2026](https://www.podseeker.co/blog/podcast-outreach-benchmarks) for the complete benchmark, fit bands, bounce rate, booking timing, definitions, and methodology. ## Benchmark Methodology - Unit measured: one pitch, from the first outgoing email through the eventual thread outcome. - Cohort: 5,012 pitches sent from February 27 through June 28, 2026 and analyzed on August 27, 2026. - Maturity: the first outgoing email had to be at least 60 days old so late booking replies had time to arrive. - Included: pitches from organizations with an active paid Database subscription at analysis time. - Excluded: internal organizations, automated users, trial-period pitches, and 17 void test or self-sent pitches. - Outcome source: Podseeker's email-thread analysis rather than a user-maintained pitch status. - Interpretation: results describe observed customer outcomes in this cohort. They are not a randomized experiment or a guarantee. ## Current Database Offer ### Grow — $99 per month Grow is the public self-serve Database plan. It includes: - 3 team seats - 200 high-fit podcast Recommendations per month - 400 initial pitches per month - 5,000 unique podcast CSV exports per month - Contact enrichment for up to 400 podcasts per month - 100 concierge contact lookups per month when no email is available - Unlimited podcast search, advanced filters, Fit Scores, campaigns, follow-ups, and access to existing podcast emails Each first email to a new podcast counts as one initial pitch. Follow-ups and replies in the same conversation do not use additional pitch allowance. If an address bounces or a better recipient is provided, Try a different email copies the existing draft into a new current conversation while retaining the previous messages for reference. The user can make a previous conversation current again. This recipient change does not count as another pitch, and a bounced initial email does not count toward the allowance. Podseeker builds contact completeness in layers. It goes beyond RSS and generic inboxes by researching public official podcast, host, and producer websites, social profiles, RSS data, and other relevant web sources. It contextualizes people and retains useful contact forms and public business phone numbers. Proprietary Contact enrichment searches more deeply for direct host, producer, and booker emails; available emails are verified for deliverability and the best available pitching contact is ranked first. When a campaign draft still has no recipient, Podseeker automatically runs enrichment without consuming the organization's user-requested Database enrichment allowance. Concierge contact lookup gives the data team a manual research path for remaining gaps. These methods improve contact coverage but do not guarantee a named direct email for every podcast. A concierge lookup asks Podseeker's data team to research a podcast manually when technology cannot finish the job. A lookup is a research request and does not guarantee that a direct email will be found. New Database subscriptions include a 3-day Grow trial with a credit card. CSV export becomes available when the paid subscription begins. Teams needing 10 or more seats or custom capacity can [contact Podseeker](https://www.podseeker.co/contact).
