When your content is monetised through the Acast Marketplace, you can access the Revenue Dashboard to track your earnings in real time. Individual users can be granted access as “Revenue Analyst” by their network's Admin.
The Revenue dashboard has two tabs:
The Realtime earnings tab: this shows you how much money your content has generated on any given day and helps you to understand what works for you revenue-wise.
The Payout tab: this is where you can, browse through historical payouts and check what was paid when.
What is included on the dashboard?
Only revenue generated through the Acast Marketplace is displayed. The revenue from campaigns you sell yourself is not available on the Dashboard.
Data is displayed for a single network at a time. To view information for a different network, click the current Network Name in the top left corner and choose the desired network from the dropdown menu.
Realtime earnings tab
The Realtime earnings tab provides an estimate of how much your content has made on any given day through the Acast Marketplace. It includes estimated revenue generated from all in-progress or completed campaigns.

Data is refreshed daily.
Earnings estimates are provided for most campaigns and revenue sources, with a few exceptions such as Cost Per Acquisition campaigns and ad-free listens on Amazon Apps.
Please keep in mind that all the data on this page is estimated. Calculations are generally finalized at the start of the next month; however, some campaigns may not be paid out immediately as they require additional verification. Once a campaign has been paid out, it will appear on the Payouts tab.

Campaign types
Campaign types
The Campaign types section gives you an overview of which types of campaigns are the most lucrative for your Network in a given period.
Campaigns are broken down into six categories that reflect different types of advertising. Some categories, such as ads and programmatic, require little to no action from you to generate revenue and are controlled by your ad settings and blocklist. Others, which may represent a larger revenue source, require your direct approval and involvement in producing assets. The six categories are:
Ads: short audio ads provided by the advertisers and bought through the Acast Sales Team or the Acast Self-Serve platform. Only designed for the audio version of a show.
Programmatic: similar to Ads, but bought automatically through online auctions on the Acast Automated Marketplace.
Sponsorships: direct endorsements, created in collaboration between your team and the brand and typically read by the content Creators themselves. Can be for both the audio or video versions of a show.
Branded Content: longer ad content, such as full segments or episodes, created collaboratively by a podcast and a brand. Can be for both the audio or video versions of a show.
Social: similar to Branded Content, but are posted on the Creator’s or Show’s social media channels rather than being included in podcast episodes.
Other revenue sources: various deals and fees paid to you by brands for work that does not fit into the categories above.
For more information on the categories and campaign types displayed in your dashboard, please consult this Campaign types article.
Top advertisers
Top advertisers
The Top advertisers section allows you to see which brands were the top spenders in any given period, so you can keep track of which type of advertisers seem to have the most affinity with your content and audience.
Click “More advertisers” to view a full list of advertisers, including estimated amount you earned from their campaigns, the percentage of the total that represents, and IAB category they belong to.
Note that the spend for some advertisers and campaigns might appear as ‘0’: this is due to how data is truncated and rounded down for the dashboard, but any revenue you earned will appear fully in your payout statements.
Campaigns
Campaigns
The Campaigns section displays every campaign that was linked to your shows during the selected period.
At the top-right corner of the section, you can filter the table by shows, advertisers and campaign types. You can also sort each column in the table by clicking the name of the column.
For each campaign, you will see:
The show it is linked to,
The name of the advertiser,
The campaign type,
The quantity, which represents the number of impressions for impression-based campaigns. Some campaigns are paid on a different basis and will not have any impression estimates available.
The estimated earnings.
Payouts tab
The Payouts tab shows historical information about revenue paid out to you, from your very first payout onwards.
By default, you will see the data for the ongoing year. To view a different year, click on the corresponding tab below the “Payout details” heading.
Quarterly and Yearly Totals
Quarterly and Yearly Totals
Total payout for each quarter, as well as for the year.
If a quarter or year is ongoing, then the total will reflect the total paid out to date. It does not include any estimates for booked campaigns or revenue earned but not paid yet.
Monthly payout table
Monthly payout table
This table will display a row per month (provided that you were eligible to receive a payout that month).
A new row will typically appear towards the middle of the month.
For instance, on the 15th of May, a row for “May 2025” will appear, containing the amount ready to be paid (from revenue earned in the months before May 2025).
The amounts will be the same as in the statement (self-bill statement or invoice statement) you received by email.
Please note that receiving a statement in May is not the same as being paid in May: when the money reaches you depends on your payment method and payment terms. You can learn more about that process by reading about how and when to get paid.
The first column of the table displays:
“Payout month”: the month when you received your statement
“Earnings from”: the period in which the revenue paid out has been earned (for instance: “Mar - Apr 2025”). Note that this does not mean that all the revenue earned in that period was ready to be paid during that payout month.
The other columns show the breakdown of the payout per campaign type, as well as the total for that payout month (“Total paid”).
Clicking a row on the monthly payout table will open the payout details page for that particular month.
Payout Details page
The payout details page offers the same data found in the monthly payout table. Additionally, it features a Shows section, providing a comprehensive breakdown of earnings for each show.
The Shows section contains a table with:
Show name,
Total impressions the show is being paid for (excluding non-impression-based campaigns),
Revenue by campaign types
Total revenue
Percentage of the total payout that is linked to each specific show.
You might need to scroll horizontally to view all the columns in the table.
