SpeakerHub

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. Best for speakers wanting cross-channel visibility; less essential for podcast-only hosts.

SpeakerHub bills itself as the world's largest specialised directory for professional speakers, and it does function as that. A free basic listing puts your profile, expertise areas, and contact information into a searchable database used by event organisers, podcast bookers, panel curators, and corporate training buyers. Paid premium tiers start around $29/month for enhanced visibility, with the bigger Authority Engine and AuthorityHub programs aimed at speakers making $200K+/year with $3K+ offers who want curated databases and a fuller stage-to-sales engine. Exact premium pricing varies and isn't consistently displayed across all 2026 sources. For podcast use, SpeakerHub is a cross-channel directory rather than a podcast-specific tool. The advantage is reach: bookers searching for guests on topics like leadership, AI, healthcare, or finance will likely encounter SpeakerHub profiles alongside dedicated podcast matchmaking tools, and a listing here can drive inbound interest from podcast hosts you'd never have found yourself. The disadvantage is dilution, most of the platform's traffic is event-side (conferences, summits, panels) rather than podcast-side, so podcast hosts aren't always the primary audience. For a speaker whose paid bookings come from a mix of events, panels, and podcast appearances, having a SpeakerHub presence makes sense as part of a broader visibility stack. For someone whose only goal is podcast guest spots, Podzay, PodMatch, and Podchaser are more direct.
