Which one should you pick?
Pick Podscan Alerts if
You’re building around . Arvid Kahl's Podscan crawls millions of podcasts and lets you set keyword alerts the way you'd set them for press mentions, except for audio. The transcript search is the actual unlock; you can find every time your brand or competitor was named, with context.
Pick Voxalyze if
You’re building around growth-focused publishers.

It's pricey, opaque about pricing, and not what you want if you mostly need download or attribution data.
