About Elizabeth
Countess Elizabeth Báthory of Ecsed was a Hungarian noblewoman born on 7 August 1560 and died on 21 August 1614. She was a member of the powerful House of Báthory, which owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary. Báthory is known for allegations that she and four of her servants tortured and killed hundreds of girls and women between 1590 and 1610. She was charged with 80 counts of murder and was convicted. Her accomplices were tried and executed, while Báthory was imprisoned within the Castle of Csejte until her death. The accusations against her were supported by testimony from over 300 individuals, some of whom described physical evidence and the discovery of mutilated bodies at her arrest. Some scholars believe that the charges may have been fabricated or exaggerated to undermine her family's influence, which posed a threat to regional political interests including those of the Habsburg empire. Over time, stories about Báthory entered folklore, with legends suggesting she had vampiric tendencies, such as bathing in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth. These tales originated from rumors and were recorded as factual more than a century after her death. Although some historians suggest her story may have inspired Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, there is no direct evidence supporting this connection. She is often referred to by nicknames such as the Blood Countess and Countess Dracula.

How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month, plus $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every new individual account gets 7 days of everything with no card: 50 pitch credits and up to 5 contacts a day. After that it moves to the Free plan: 5 pitch credits a month and your top 10 matches. You can build campaigns on Free; launching one needs a paid plan.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
