Which one should you pick?
Pick ART19 if
You’re building around enterprise networks. Now Amazon-owned and plumbed straight into Amazon DSP, ART19 is built for shows pulling enterprise download volumes and selling dynamic ads at scale. Independents need not apply — this is sales-led with bandwidth-based pricing that assumes you already have ad sales relationships.
Pick Chartmetric if
You’re building around music-adjacent creators. Chartmetric is a music-first analytics platform that bolted on podcast charting almost as an afterthought — it tracks chart positions and cross-platform reach but doesn't replace a hosting analytics dashboard. If you're a podcaster who also releases music, it's genuinely useful.
