Which one should you pick?
Pick Bumper if
You’re building around brand podcasters. Bumper isn't really analytics software — it's a podcast growth agency with a measurement dashboard bolted on, run by ex-CBC and ex-Pacific Content operators who actually know how shows grow. At $500/mo for the dashboard alone, it's pitched at networks and brand podcasters, not someone trying to crack 1,000 downloads.
Pick Voxalyze if
You’re building around growth-focused publishers. Voxalyze invented Podcast Visibility Optimization — essentially SEO for Apple Podcasts and Spotify search — and the visibility module is genuinely the strongest in that niche. It's pricey, opaque about pricing, and not what you want if you mostly need download or attribution data.
