Data changes after switching to Spotify for Podcasters

If you’ve recently switched your podcast’s hosting to Spotify for Podcasters, you may see some variations in your podcast plays or ad impressions.

This can happen for a few different reasons:

• Some hosts don’t apply the same standards to how streams are counted
• You submitted independently to one or more distribution platforms and those plays aren’t syncing in your Spotify for Podcasters account
• Our analytics only includes data since after you switched to Spotify for Podcasters

The way that we track plays is mostly in line with industry standards.

External platforms track metrics differently, but we measure consistently across those platforms to give you analytics that are representative of your audience.
