Researched and fact-checked by Bartu Cavusoglu · Updated October 26, 2026
Rephonic is a podcast database and outreach tool for people who want to get featured on podcasts. It covers more than four million shows and combines listener numbers, audience demographics, contact details and show information in one searchable place. The company describes itself as the most complete podcast database for PR teams, marketers and founders looking to book guest appearances and ad spots.
The problem it targets is manual research. According to the company, podcast data is scattered across the web, takes work to gather in a spreadsheet or CRM, and is out of date as soon as it is collected. Rephonic aims to be an independent, reliable source of podcast data that saves time and supports better decisions.
It is made by Babadan Labs, a fully remote company headquartered in the United States. Babadan Labs also makes Reletter and Rate This Podcast.
Users start with a search. They can look up a specific show by title, publisher, episode or topic, or explore a niche with the topic search tool. Advanced filters then narrow the list, for example to marketing podcasts with more than 5,000 listeners that skew female, or to shows whose audience is in a particular country.
Each podcast profile brings together listener estimates, audience data and contact information. Rephonic bases its listener figures on hundreds of publicly available data points gathered from across the web, so they are estimates rather than verified download numbers.
Once promising shows are found, users add them to target lists for a campaign. They can then pick a pitch template, customize it for each podcast and send it from their own email account or CRM.
The listener data covers four areas. Rephonic estimates listeners per episode, gives an estimated male and female split for most shows, calculates an engagement rate from recent social media posts, and supports filtering by audience country. Together these help judge whether a show reaches the right people, not only a large number of them.
Podcast information adds contact details, including email addresses and social media accounts, along with related shows, chart rankings and social links. This removes much of the work of hunting for a way to reach a host.
Pitch planning tools include topic search, target lists that stay current and can be shared with a team, exports, and a concierge service. The pitch editor offers templates that teams can reuse. The site also lists alerts and a developer API.

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and you enter a credit card to begin. The card is not charged until the trial ends, and a reminder email is sent three days before. Exporting campaigns and the concierge service are not available during the trial.
Rephonic bases its figures on hundreds of publicly available data points gathered from across the web. They are estimates meant as a ballpark benchmark, not verified download numbers supplied by publishers.
Each search for podcasts or episodes counts against the quota, and repeating the same keyword in one session counts once. The quota is shared across the team and resets on your billing date. Changing advanced filters does not use extra searches. If you run out, campaigns and other features keep working.
You can cancel a trial or subscription at any time from the billing page, with no penalty or notice period. If you did not use the service, for example if you forgot to cancel, the last payment is refunded up to 30 days after it was charged.
Rephonic suits PR teams, agencies, marketers and founders who pitch podcasts for guest appearances, client PR, sponsorship or cross-promotion. It is most useful for teams that run regular outreach and want to stop maintaining spreadsheets.
The site lists a Developer API and a link for those looking for API access on the pricing page. The source pages do not give API details or pricing.
