Analytics

Get to know your audience. With the Podcaster analytics feature enabled you'll get detailed information about the most relevant metrics, like:

  • Daily, weekly, monthly, overall downloads
  • Estimated subscribers
  • Listener systems and apps
  • Episode and feed downloads
  • Comparable episode stats

Zoom in and out of the graphs to catch even more details. Download graphs as images or csv to use them elsewhere.

This feature needs a database (sqlite or mysql) in order to work, as the amount of data cannot usefully be stored in a markdown file.
