What podcast hosting provides the best analytics?
Hi, Hacker News!
I used to host my podcast files and check the hosting's AWStats to track listens, then moved to DigitalOcean Spaces — which provides no analytics at all — and have to stick with tracking web plays with Google Analytics, and rely on the stats provided by Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
One of the main reasons to move to a podcast hosting platform is richer analytics, and I'm trying to figure out which one is best.
Which one would you recommend and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

- aframe 6y agoCheck out captivate.fm I’m not affiliated with them, but it’s my buddy’s business and they’re doing really great things over there.

- emtwo 6y agoHey Nono! I’m Mark, CEO at Captivate. We provide IAB certified, in-depth analytics for your podcasts (you can host multiple with us for one cost) and we’re adding new analytics data very very frequently. Happy to walk you through it anytime! Mark
- nonoesp 6y agoHi, Marc! Thanks for sharing. Can you elaborate a bit on what "IAB-certified analytics" means? How would your service compare to other platforms such as Blubrry, Buzzsprout, Transistor, Castos, Podbean, Simplecast, or Resonate? I'd love a walkthrough. How can we connect? Nono
- emtwo 6y agoHey Nono! We love all those guys and know them all really well, great people. Captivate has a lot of unique features and approaches and generally we’re all doing good work to help the podcaster!

Mark :)
- emtwo 6y agoOh also, check out all the features: www.captivate.fm/features Meant to add that :)
- nonoesp 6y agoHere's another one I found › https://omnystudio.com https://omnystudio.com
- emtwo 6y agoOmny is decent, owned by Triton Digital - good people. Not as consumer focussed as a Captivate, for example, but solid!
