Chartable is shutting down and rolling into Megaphone on December 12, so what should podcasters use instead? Alban and Jordan break down real Chartable alternatives and how to replace every feature without breaking your RSS prefix or your ad campaign tracking links. We compare OP3 (Open Podcast Prefix Project) for free, IAB-friendly podcast analytics and download tracking; Podgagement and Podstatus for ratings, reviews, podcast rankings, and social proof; and Podtrac for advertisers who need attribution tools, demographic data, and advanced analytics. We also cover Apple Podcasts’ Linkfire integration for smartlinks/smartpromos and deeper listener engagement metrics, plus how Buzzsprout’s follow page stacks up against third-party landing pages and directories.
You’ll hear exactly which key features, pricing models, and metrics each service offers, how to optimize your podcast marketing and podcast advertising, and what to do before those Chartable prefixes break. We talk demographics vs. audience data, episode comparisons, podcast charts, and making data-driven decisions to grow your podcast audience and retention whether you’re on Buzzsprout or another podcast hosting platform.
