The Analytics dashboard is where you’ll find consumption and earnings data for your shows. It brings your audio, video and social data together, so you can understand your audience and make smart decisions on growing it.
How to find the Analytics dashboard
You’ll find it in the Acast left-side navigation menu. You can also go directly to analytics.acast.com.
If you can’t see it, it’s likely because you have restricted user access. Reach out to the owner of your show or network, and they can update your access using User Management, the team role management tool.
Analytics dashboard overview
The dashboard has four tabs. Two cover your consumption data and two cover your revenue data.
Content Performance tab

The Content Performance tab shows how your content is performing across audio and video. The Today section shows live estimates for listens and views, with a last-synced time.

You can also compare episodes over their first seven or 30 days, and see listens and views by app.

Analytics dashboard FAQ
How does Acast measure podcast download data?
How does Acast measure podcast download data?
Acast receives raw download data from platforms and apps. We filter and process it to make sure it’s accurate.
The filters we use are an industry standard, so everyone in podcasting is expected to do it the same way. Filtering takes a lot of processing, so it happens daily.
That’s why today’s live numbers are estimates, and your validated data shows up the next day. You can read more about the steps in How does Acast measure podcast download data?
Why don’t my social numbers match YouTube, TikTok or Instagram?
Why don’t my social numbers match YouTube, TikTok or Instagram?
We get social figures from each platform’s public APIs. Each platform applies its own filtering before showing numbers in its own dashboard, so the two can differ.
Why don’t unique listeners and unique viewers add up to the combined number?
Why don’t unique listeners and unique viewers add up to the combined number?
The combined figure removes overlap. Someone who both listened and watched counts once in the combined number, and once in each of the other two.
