Q: Are my Spotify analytics included in my Simplecast dashboard?
Yes!
Spotify recently enabled analytics pass-through for all Simplecast shows, so you should now see your download data from Spotify included in your show's analytics in your Simplecast dashboard.
Q: Does Spotify for Podcasters also have analytics for my show?
Yes!
The Spotify for Podcasters dashboard also has analytics specific to the Spotify dashboard, but Spotify is not currently IAB Certified, so the IAB Certified analytics in your Simplecast dashboard have passed through IAB Filtering and will likely be lower compared to the data you see in the Spotify dashboard.
Q: My show has been in Spotify for awhile. Will I only see the most recent data?
Yes!
Spotify only began sending current analytics data for shows starting around August 23rd, 2019. If your show was submitted to Spotify before then, or if you only recently claimed your show in their web portal, you won't see the historical analytics data in your Simplecast account.
