Business and B2B podcasts attract some of the highest CPMs in the medium, yet most hosts still negotiate blind. The rates below come from host-read and mid-roll deals logged anonymously by business podcast creators on Comped. Figures cover both flat-fee and CPM-equivalent deals across all show sizes, giving you a concrete benchmark before your next sponsorship conversation.

How these rates are calculated: There are two data classes in this table. Rows tagged Verified are community figures from anonymous creator submissions — a segment unlocks only after 5 approved deals (enforced server-side). Rows tagged Estimate are industry estimates from cited public rate reports, shown when fewer than 5 community deals exist for a segment; each estimate is replaced automatically the moment that segment crosses the 5-deal floor. Deals are reviewed for outliers before being approved.
