About

SpotsNow is a podcast advertising platform for researching shows, planning campaigns, booking spots, and tracking performance. Its AI planner uses a brand’s website, category, and audience to rank shows by predicted conversion rate and display projected reach and estimated ROAS. Advertisers can browse discounted last-minute spots, request individual shows or episode packages, or buy curated audience bundles. Hosts review each advertiser, and payment is made only after approval. Campaign measurement includes real-time analytics and audio pixel tracking. SpotsNow Intelligence tracks more than 59,000 podcast shows and includes information on sponsors, ad clips, brand spend, lookalikes, fill rates, and media plans. Its read-only MCP connection provides Intelligence data to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible assistants through OAuth. SpotsNow says it does not access, store, or train on customers’ proprietary data through that connection, and that access can be revoked. The company also says it does not process personal health data. A free plan offers five monthly credits; Starter is $89/month and Intelligence is $349/month.

Who it is for

SpotsNow suits brands planning or buying podcast campaigns, while its Team plan is aimed at agencies and networks. Brands seeking campaign execution can use SpotsNow Pro, which charges a 12% fee of spend, or 15% below $30K monthly ad spend, with a $5K minimum spend.
