Which one should you pick?
Pick Megaphone Audience Insights if
You’re building around . Megaphone's Audience Insights dashboard, powered by Nielsen, gives enterprise podcast publishers Spotify-level demographics and behavioural segments alongside their hosting. It's tied to the Megaphone platform, so it's not really an option unless you're already a Megaphone customer.
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.
