Audience Score

Audience Score is a composite 0-100 measure of a podcast's platform reach, combining Spotify followers, YouTube subscribers, Apple chart position, and review velocity into a single growth signal.

How it works

Audience Score weights four platform signals: Spotify Followers (25%), YouTube Subscribers (20%), YouTube Recent Views (20%), Apple Chart Position (20%), and Apple Review Velocity (15%). Each is scaled logarithmically before combining.

Example

A podcast with 200,000 Spotify followers, 50,000 YouTube subscribers, a position in Apple's top 100 business charts, and 300 new reviews in the last 30 days would score in the 80s. A show with 500 Spotify followers and no YouTube presence would score in the 20s.
