What Podstatus is
Podstatus is a web-based podcast analytics and growth platform covering rankings, reviews, search visibility, competitors, YouTube performance, OP3 downloads and reporting. It checks Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iVoox chart positions hourly across 175 countries. Apple Podcasts and Podchaser reviews appear in one inbox with smart filters, while keyword tracking follows Apple Podcasts and Spotify search positions. The SEO Analyzer audits titles, descriptions, categories, artwork and RSS metadata. Competitor Intelligence finds nearby-ranking podcasts by country and category. Email reports can run daily, weekly or monthly, and Document Studio creates sponsor-ready PDFs within plan limits. Image Studio turns rankings and reviews into social images for Instagram, LinkedIn and X. A page builder creates a public landing page with a custom URL and listening links. OP3 download analytics require an OP3-enabled feed. Podstatus does not host or distribute audio, record or edit episodes, or attribute campaign clicks and downloads.
