Podlytic
Keep your analytics history when you change hosts.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
Podlytic addresses a problem hosts feel but rarely productize: when you move from Simplecast to Transistor, your old charts do not move with you. Podlytic imports CSV exports from major hosts, rebuilds historical dashboards, and adds current analytics through OP3 plus YouTube where connected.
It is for podcasters who treat analytics as a long-term record, especially shows that have changed hosts more than once or lost Chartable when Spotify shut it down. Networks with several feeds also benefit from team views and preserved history across migrations.
It is not a replacement for your host's daily publish screen. You still upload episodes elsewhere. Podlytic reads exports and connected stats; it does not host audio or guarantee that every host's CSV format parses perfectly on the first try.
The free tier covers two podcasts, which is enough to evaluate an import before paying. Paid tiers add collaboration and higher limits. Predictive or AI-driven insights were advertised at launch; treat those as directional, not audit-grade reporting for ad sales.
Compare Podlytic with PodAnalyst or CoHost based on whether you need historical vaulting (Podlytic) or live retention curves across Apple, Spotify and YouTube (PodAnalyst). Some shows will use both.
