Airlist is a web-based guest CRM for independent podcast hosts, bringing outreach, scheduling, follow-ups, and re-invites into one workspace. Its drag-and-drop pipeline tracks guests from ideas and research through pitching, replies, scheduling, recording, editing, publishing, and later invitations. Guest sourcing can produce ranked prospects with contact details, recent media appearances, and pitch angles based on a show's niche. The pitch generator drafts personalized cold emails with subject-line variants. Automated drip campaigns send a nudge after five days and a break-up email after twelve, then pause when a guest replies. A public booking page lets guests select a recording time, answer preparation questions, and receive confirmations. Listed integrations include podcast recording services, calendar and productivity tools, email, social networks, and more through Zapier and Make.com. The Free plan is free, billed forever; its plan details say up to 15 guests, while the pricing page also states a limit of 25 active guests for free accounts. Pro costs 19.99 USD per month, billed monthly. Each account starts with a 14-day Pro trial.
