A Podcorn alternative for podcast sponsorships without the cut
Podcorn is a popular marketplace for podcast sponsorships and does a good job matching shows of all sizes with brand campaigns. The difference is the commission: Podcorn has taken roughly a 10% cut of podcast ad revenue on deals run through it. Sponsorships takes 0% commission on your deals and runs on flat membership, so a $500 host read as an illustrative example pays you the full $500. And it is not podcasts only, you can list newsletters, YouTube, and events on the same profile, with a media kit, rate card, deal management, and deliverables, and you keep the brand relationship. This comparison is made in good faith, so please verify current terms with each provider.
