Meet Sponsors vs Sponsorbook
Two creator-side databases of YouTube brand deals, both with free tiers and no commission, aimed at creators and the agents who manage them. Sponsorbook is the cheaper start for most creators, with sponsor segments and buying-cadence charts; Meet Sponsors suits agents who need unlimited contacts and an affiliate filter.

The quick answer
For most creators, Sponsorbook. Starter is $29 a month against Meet Sponsors’ $55 plus VAT, and it shows more of its working: the timestamped sponsor segment behind each result, and 12-month cadence charts that show when a brand tends to buy, so you can pitch while it’s spending. It publishes 351K+ sponsored videos against Meet Sponsors’ 171,821, though sponsorship counts aren’t directly comparable between vendors.
Meet Sponsors wins for talent agents and anyone drowning in affiliate deals. It’s the only tool in the category that filters affiliate deals apart from paid integrations, paid plans include unlimited decision-maker contacts where Sponsorbook meters them, and the Agent plan covers 15 channels with three years of history. Its index is the smallest here and updates weekly, though, and it costs nearly twice as much to start.

Features side by side
Where each falls short
Meet Sponsors
It has the least data for the most money. Its index is the smallest in the category (171,821 sponsored videos, 23,183 brands, 75,584 channels), it updates weekly while most rivals update daily, and its coverage rule is English-language channels with 100K+ subscribers. It reads descriptions, links and promo codes but doesn’t mention transcripts. Pricing moved recently: a $34 Starter plan seen in September is gone. There are no reviews on G2, Capterra or Trustpilot.
Sponsorbook
It publishes no brand or channel totals and doesn’t advertise an affiliate filter. Contacts cost credits, 25 reveals a month on Starter and 150 on Pro, and there’s no REST API: agent access is through the MCP server on Pro.
