Comparison
Convokast vs PodMatch
PodMatch is a membership marketplace where you build a profile and manage your own bookings. Convokast is a done-for-you service where the pitching, follow-up and scheduling are ours.
When PodMatch is the better call: You have time to run your own outreach, you want the lowest possible cash cost, and you would rather trade hours than dollars. It is also a sensible way to test whether you enjoy being a guest before paying anyone to book you.
These are not really competing products. PodMatch is infrastructure: a membership marketplace that connects hosts and guests, with tiers for hosts, guests, both, and agencies. You create a profile, you find matches, and you do the work.
| Convokast | PodMatch | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Done-for-you service | Self-serve marketplace |
| Who pitches | We do | You do |
| Who schedules | We do | You do |
| Published price | $499/month | Tiered membership, host/guest/both/agency |
| Stated guarantee | 1+ interview per month | None, it is a marketplace |
| Your time per month | About an hour per interview | Meaningful, it is the whole job |
That is a perfectly good answer if your constraint is cash rather than time. Plenty of founders should start there, get four or five appearances under their belt, and find out whether the channel suits them before paying an agency anything.
The point at which people move to a service like ours is usually when the research, pitching and follow-up start competing with running the business, which tends to happen around the time you want more than a show a quarter.
Common questions
Is PodMatch cheaper than Convokast?
In cash, considerably. In total cost, it depends on what your hours are worth, because the outreach and scheduling work does not disappear, it just becomes yours. That is a genuine trade and not a rhetorical one.
Can I use both?
Yes, and some clients do. Nothing about our service stops you sourcing your own appearances alongside it.
