What is podcast analytics?
Podcast analytics helps you understand audience growth, listening behaviour and episode performance. Springcast brings audio, video and social data into one platform, with measures for listening depth, watch time, engagement and activity around linked posts.
What does a podcast download measure?
A download is a counted playback request for an episode. It measures volume; it does not confirm that the whole episode was heard. Unique Listeners counts distinct listener profiles within a period, so the same person may count more than once across devices.
Can I see how much of an episode people hear?
Listened Percentage shows the average share of an episode played in the Springcast player, with its sample size. The figure is withheld below the reporting threshold. It represents that player sample, rather than listening across every external podcast app.
How does Springcast connect social posts with listening?
Link posts to episodes to use Cross-Channel Referral Lift and the cross-media views. Referral Lift compares listening after a post with the episode’s expected baseline. It is a modelled association, not proof that the post caused the change. Scale includes social analytics for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.
Which plan includes podcast analytics?
Essential includes basic analytics, Professional includes advanced analytics and Scale includes pro analytics with social analytics and Custom Data. Feature access depends on your plan and connected sources. Every Creator plan has a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
