Which one should you pick?
Pick RadioGuestList if
You’re building around free guest opportunities. RadioGuestList has run a free guest-opportunity email service since 2008, sending daily Guest Request alerts when shows are actively looking. It's old-school, deliberately so, no marketplace, no AI matching, just daily emails with direct host contacts.
Pick Typeform if
You’re building around premium-feel guest intakes. Typeform invented the conversational form aesthetic and still owns it, which is why it feels nice for guest intakes. The pricing is hard to justify against Tally though — a 10-response free cap and paid plans starting at $28/mo for what most podcasters get free elsewhere.
