What Chartable did — and what you still need

Chartable was the go-to tool for podcast chart tracking and attribution. When it shut down, over a million podcasters lost access to their analytics overnight.

What Podstatus does not replace

We believe in being upfront. Chartable had two features that Podstatus does not offer: SmartLinks (trackable URLs that redirect listeners to their preferred app) and download attribution (connecting downloads to specific campaigns).

If those were your primary use cases, Podstatus is not a direct replacement for them. But if you relied on Chartable for chart tracking, review monitoring, and understanding your podcast's performance — Podstatus covers all of that and goes further with keyword tracking, SEO analysis, competitor monitoring, and detailed PDF reports.
