What it is
Encored is a web-based AI platform for podcast outreach. It helps speakers, founders, in-house teams, and agencies find and qualify shows, draft pitches, run outreach sequences, and manage replies. Encored says its database contains more than 4 million podcasts and events. Searches are scored against a user profile and can be filtered by category, audience size, language, ratings, latest episode date, episode count, and length. AI drafts use the guest profile, show context, selected angle, and brand voice; users review and approve them before sending. Multi-step sequences support scheduled follow-ups, with replies in a unified inbox. Gmail connects through the Gmail API, while Microsoft and Outlook accounts use Microsoft Graph. Deliverability features include DNS authentication checks, pre-flight checks, bounce protection, and unsubscribe handling. The Agency plan adds white-label client portals, client review, scheduled PDF reports, and placement detection. Pro costs $83 a month billed yearly or $99 a month billed monthly. There is no free plan, but a seven-day trial is listed. The service is in beta and may change.
