Chartmetric Podcasts

Chartmetric is primarily a music intelligence platform, and the podcast features sit as a secondary layer rather than the main product. It's useful if you're already paying for the music side and want to track artist-led shows in the same dashboard. If podcasts are your whole focus, dedicated tools like Podscribe or Podscan will give you more depth for less.

Chartmetric has built its reputation as the analytics layer for the music industry, with detailed artist tracking across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, social platforms, and more. The podcast features extend that same approach into the audio world, which makes sense for record labels, music marketers, and artists who run podcasts as part of a broader release strategy. Pricing in 2026 tiers from an Artist plan at $60/year, a Manager plan at $480/year for up to ten profiles, and a Premium plan at $1,400/year for full global datasets and advanced filters. A free trial is available. For pure podcast intelligence, the dedicated alternatives, Podscribe, Podscan, Podchaser, are deeper. They publish category rankings, advertiser tracking, audience size estimates, and IAB-aligned download numbers that Chartmetric simply doesn't compete with. Where Chartmetric earns its slot is the cross-medium view. If your show is tied to a musical artist or label, being able to chart podcast performance against streaming, TikTok virality, and social follower growth in one place is genuinely useful. It also has long-standing relationships with major labels that mean its data shows up in trade reporting. For a podcaster who isn't operating in the music ecosystem, this likely isn't the tool. But for the artist-podcaster hybrid, or a label running a slate of music-adjacent shows, it slots in cleanly.
