Which one should you pick?
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.
Pick CoHost if
You’re building around b2b podcasters. CoHost nails the niche nobody else owns — B2B analytics that tell you which companies your listeners actually work at. If you're running a thought-leadership podcast for sales pipeline, it's the closest thing to LinkedIn-style attribution for audio.

Frequently asked
What does Chartmetric do better than CoHost?
Chartmetric's standout is "Strong cross-platform music and chart data". CoHost doesn't make that promise — it leans into "Reveals companies and job titles of listeners" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Chartmetric; if the second does, pick CoHost.
What are the trade-offs?
Chartmetric: podcast features are thin next to music. CoHost: b2b features pointless for consumer shows. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Can I use Chartmetric and CoHost together?
Both are analytics tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Chartmetric for one show or episode type and CoHost for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
