Why podcasters choose Podstatus

Per-account, not per-podcast

Track all your podcasts under one account. No surprise bills as your portfolio grows. The Network plan covers 25 shows for $20/month total.

Three platforms, not one

Your audience is not just on Apple Podcasts. Podstatus tracks rankings across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iVoox — so you see the full picture.

Hourly, not daily

Podstatus updates chart positions every hour. You catch ranking spikes while they are happening, not 24 hours later.

What Podgagement offers that Podstatus does not

Podgagement has audience engagement tools: voicemail and written feedback collection, NFC Podcast Beacons, social proof image generators, and Slack notifications. If listener engagement features are your priority, Podgagement may be a better fit for that specific use case.

If your priority is understanding your podcast's performance — where it ranks, what keywords drive discovery, how competitors are doing, and getting detailed reports — Podstatus is the more complete solution.
