Chartmetric

Chartmetric started life as a music industry intelligence tool — the platform A&R teams, managers, and labels use to track Spotify monthly listeners, TikTok virality, playlist placements, and audience demographics across streaming services. Over the last few years it's added podcast tracking, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify chart positions, episode-level performance, and cross-promotion opportunities with music artists.

The core value is breadth: Chartmetric pulls signals from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more into one searchable dataset with deep historical archives and exportable reports. Where it shines is for creators sitting at the intersection of audio and music — a music podcast, an artist who also hosts a show, a label running podcast marketing.

The demographic and geographic listener breakdowns are particularly strong, and the API plan opens up custom dashboards for agencies. Where it falls short is in pure podcast analytics depth: you won't get the listener-level attribution CoHost or Magellan offer, and download counting isn't its strength.

Pricing scales from a cheap entry tier up to $140/mo Premium and custom API tiers, which is reasonable for music professionals but expensive if you only use the podcast modules. Treat it as a complement to your hosting dashboard, not a replacement.
