VERDICT

Should I use Matchmaker?

Not disclosed - matchmaker.fm

Depends. Podcast hosts and guests who just want a directory of shows seeking guests can try it cheaply. Buyers needing proven reviews, published pricing, or security documentation should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Low. Based on 4 usable public sources; most search results were unrelated dating-matchmaker services and an old PHP product's CVE, excluded as irrelevant.

What users say

feedback is sparse: G2 lacks enough reviews and some podcasters on Reddit are hunting for alternatives.

Alternatives

Compare Matchmaker with each alternative.

  • PodMatch

    Guess: comparable podcast guest-matching marketplace.

  • Direct outreach on LinkedIn/X

    Guess: free, slower guest booking via personal outreach.

  • r/podcasting community

    Guess: community-driven guest swaps without platform fees.
