About OP3

What is OP3?

OP3 (Open Podcast Prefix Project) is an open-source analytics layer for podcast downloads. By adding the OP3 prefix to your RSS feed, you get transparent, independent download data that works with any hosting provider. Podstatus turns that data into clear, actionable reporting.

The podcast download metrics that matter

Episode downloads

Track how many downloads each episode receives and how that changes after launch, promotion, or guest appearances.

Listener geography

See where your audience is listening from. Understand regional reach and spot growth in new markets.

Apps and devices

Know which podcast apps, operating systems, and devices your listeners use most.

Download trends

Spot growth patterns across episodes. See whether your audience is growing, stable, or declining over time.

Pair download data with rankings and reviews

Rankings and reviews tell you how visible your podcast is. Download statistics tell you how much audience reach that visibility creates. Podstatus gives you both in one dashboard.

Combine OP3 download data with ranking trends and review history to build a complete picture of podcast performance for your team, clients, or sponsors.
