SponsorPitch has been selling sponsorship data since 2009, which makes it one of the older tools in sponsorship sales, and the honest starting point is that it is good at what it sets out to do. It is a research and prospecting platform. You search a database of more than 13,000 brands, see who they already sponsor and which agencies they work with, unlock the decision-maker contacts at the ones that fit, and organize the outreach. Festivals, sports teams, athletes, nonprofits and conferences use it to build target lists they would otherwise assemble by hand from press releases and LinkedIn.

The pricing is published, and it is more nuanced than most review sites suggest. Several software directories still list SponsorPitch as starting at $59 a month with no free version. As of September 2026 the vendor's own page shows a free plan with up to 10 sponsor pages, 5 saved companies and 5 contact unlocks, and three paid tiers. Prospector is $39 per user a month billed yearly or $54 month to month, with 100 contacts a month and 3 Pitch Board posts.

Professional is $83 billed yearly or $134 month to month, with 500 contacts a month, sponsor recommendations, deal analytics and CSV export. Agency is $221 per team billed yearly or $334 month to month and covers up to 10 Professional accounts. Two details are worth reading before you pay. The first is the gap between billing periods.

Month to month costs 38% more than yearly on Prospector, 51% more on Agency and 61% more on Professional, so a Professional seat is $996 a year on annual billing and $1,608 on monthly. The second is the refund policy. SponsorPitch says it does not refund because the data is delivered on payment, and it asks you to cancel by email at least 2 business days before your renewal date. Buying a year up front to save money is only a saving if you use the year.

The arithmetic that matters is cost per usable contact. If you unlock all 500 contacts every month on Professional, each one costs about 17 cents on annual billing. If you unlock 40, each costs about $2, and a contact is still only a name and an email, not a meeting. A database like this pays off in proportion to how much outbound selling you do.

A sponsorship manager sending hundreds of pitches a season will get good value from it. A race director who sends thirty emails a year will mostly be paying for access. Agency also has a simple break-even: at three or more seats it costs less than buying Professional seats one at a time, on either billing period. It is also worth being clear about what SponsorPitch does not include.

It finds you people to pitch. It does not book the deal, hold the relationship, run deliverables, or bring brands to you unless they happen to browse its Pitch Board, which is a paid feature. The larger enterprise tool in the same category, SponsorUnited, does not publish pricing at all and has no free plan. Sponsorships works from the opposite direction.

You publish a profile with your audience, formats and rate card, brands browse listings by niche and reach out, and you manage the deal and its deliverables in one place. Membership is flat, from $12 a month on yearly billing for Starter and $29 for Creator, and commission on your deals is 0%, so the brand pays you directly and you keep the whole fee. What you give up is the research: there is no contact database and no brand deal history. So the choice comes down to where your next sponsors will come from.

If you already have a sales process and the bottleneck is knowing who to call, SponsorPitch is the right kind of tool and Professional is the plan most active sellers will need for the export. If the bottleneck is that the right brands do not know you exist, a marketplace listing is the cheaper test, and plenty of sellers run both.
