PodAnalyst

PodAnalyst is a podcast analytics platform that consolidates listener data from Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube into a single dashboard. It is built for podcasters and podcast teams who want to understand audience retention, growth, and listening behavior without manually checking multiple platform dashboards. The platform tracks four core metrics: unique listeners, listening hours, plays, and followers, filterable by platform and time period.

The product includes two AI-driven features: Radar, which runs continuously in the background to surface proactive insights about retention, growth, timing, and pacing changes in a show's data; and Iris, a conversational AI analyst that answers natural-language questions about a show's performance using its own data. PodAnalyst displays episode-level retention curves pulled directly from first-party platform data, showing where listeners drop off during an episode.

Data access is read-only: users invite PodAnalyst as a team member on Apple Podcasts Connect, Spotify for Creators, and YouTube Studio, and can revoke access at any time without sharing account passwords. PodAnalyst also offers an Analytics API and an MCP connection for programmatic access to podcast, episode, trend, and keyword data. The company serves independent podcasters, podcast networks, and teams seeking a unified view of cross-platform performance.
