Instead of using Podrover for reviews plus another tool for rankings and another for SEO, Podstatus puts everything in one dashboard. Less switching, less cost, more clarity.
Both products collect Apple Podcasts and Podchaser reviews. Podstatus additionally tracks charts across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iVoox.
Reviews tell you what listeners think. Rankings, keywords, SEO, and competitor data tell you how to grow. Podstatus gives you both.
Podrover has a lower entry price for a single podcast ($30/year) and deeper review-specific delivery: Podchaser coverage, push and Slack alerts, automatic sharing, widgets, and RSS feed-health checks. If that focused workflow is all you need, Podrover is a solid choice.
But if you want to understand the full performance of your podcast — reviews plus rankings, keywords, SEO health, competitor movements, and more — Podstatus is the tool built for that.
Rankings, reviews, and competitors across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iVoox. Solo is $7.99 month-to-month or $59.99/year.
