Which one should you pick?
Pick SpeakerHub if
You’re building around professional speakers. SpeakerHub is one of the largest professional speaker directories with a free basic listing and paid premium plans starting around $29/month. It tilts more toward live events and conferences than podcasts, but many podcast bookers use it.
Pick Tally if
You’re building around unlimited free guest forms. Tally is the indie favorite for guest questionnaires because the free tier is actually unlimited, unlike Typeform's stingy 10-response cap. The UI is a touch less polished than Typeform's conversational forms, but you're saving $30 a month and getting Stripe and Notion integration for free.
