Comparison Guide

PodGlue vs Airtable: a guest base you build, or a guest system that comes built.

Bottom line: pick Airtable if you want to design your own guest pipeline with custom fields and automations; pick PodGlue if you want guest profiles, follow-ups, booking and the guest portal ready without building them.

PodGlue

Built for the full podcast system

PodGlue is a podcast CRM, and it is our product. Guest profiles with every appearance, a relationship timeline, follow-ups and commitments, booking pages with calendar sync and a guest portal are built in on every plan, so there is no base to design first.

Hosts who want the guest system working without designing tables and automations
Shows that want booking, episodes and the guest promo kit tied to each guest
Small teams who would rather pay per show than per editor seat

FAQ

Common comparison questions.

Is PodGlue an Airtable alternative for podcast guests?

For guest management, yes. Airtable can hold a guest base you design. PodGlue starts with the guest system built: profiles, appearances, follow-ups, booking pages and a guest portal.

When is Airtable the better choice?

When you want to build exactly the pipeline you have in your head, when your team already runs on Airtable, or when your guest list fits in the free plan and you need it to cost nothing.

Can I move my Airtable guest base into PodGlue?

If you save the guest table as a CSV file, yes. Name is the only required column, and you match the rest of your columns to PodGlue fields when you import.
