Where does SponsorDB still win?
At $20 a month SponsorDB costs less than SponsorGap ($39) or SponsorLeads ($97) on the pages we read, and it adds pitch drafts and a tracker. If you will send the emails yourself and your niche is in its list, it is a cheap place to start.
Book a Sponsor fits a newsletter, podcast or YouTube channel that wants pitches going out without doing the sending: it stops at the yes, and you close the deal. It sends from its own mailboxes, so you get replies and no list to work.
