What is the best Chartmetric alternative?

Opah is the best Chartmetric alternative for an artist or manager who wants the hidden Spotify numbers without the $60. That means the 0 to 100 popularity score and monthly listeners as a daily series, on three artists for $19 a month, and it is the only tool on this page that also shows every ad those artists are running. That is the qualification, and it is deliberately narrow. If you are leaving Chartmetric for one of the other reasons, buy accordingly: Viberate at €39.90 a month to search 11 million artists you have never named, Soundcharts at $10 if radio and airplay are the job, Songstats at €11.99 if a playlist add-and-drop alert is the thing you are paying for.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Chartmetric?

Opah, at $19 a month, is the cheapest plan on this page that covers more than one artist. Two entry plans are cheaper in absolute terms and both cover exactly one: Soundcharts at $10 and Songstats at €11.99. Chartmetric itself is $60 a month billed monthly, or $480 up front for the year, and Viberate is €39.90. Price is rarely the whole reason to switch, though: all four of those are doing the job Chartmetric does with different reach, and only Opah adds what those artists are advertising.

How much does Chartmetric actually cost?

Its own pricing page shows $60, $150 and $180 a month for Manager, Premium and Ultra when you pay monthly. Paying yearly brings those to $40, $117 and $150 a month, so the $40 figure most comparison pages quote is the annual rate and means $480 up front. The Manager plan covers premium data for 10 artists. For a bill to put next to it: Opah is $19 a month for three.

Do any of these show which ads another artist is running?

Only Opah. None of Chartmetric, Soundcharts, Viberate or Songstats names ad coverage anywhere on its own product or pricing pages, read on 30 August 2026. Opah reads the Meta Ad Library for the artists on your roster, keeps the creative, and dates each ad so the ones that survived long enough to be worth copying are the ones you see.

Do I still need Chartmetric if I use Opah?

Only if you need one of three things Opah does not do. It shows the playlists featuring an artist and the ones listeners discover them through, but it does not alert you when a playlist adds or drops you, track your position on one, or help you pitch. It does not read radio. And it cannot search a catalogue for artists you have not named. In Opah you say who to watch. If any of those three is the job, keep the tool that does it, and plenty of people run Opah alongside one of the four here. If none of them is, Opah covers the same Spotify vitals at $19 against Chartmetric's $60 and adds an ad archive none of the four has an equivalent of.

Does Opah show my own artist's numbers, or only other artists?

Both, and an artist slot works the same either way. Add your own artist and Opah tracks Spotify popularity from 0 to 100, monthly listeners, top cities, and your catalogue track by track, as a daily series rather than a number with nothing to compare it to. It reads your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube output against where your audience actually is. Everything Opah does to an artist you are studying, it does to you. Most people run their own artist in one slot and the two or three artists ahead of them in the others.

Where can I see my Spotify popularity score?

In Opah, on any artist you add, from $19 a month for three of them, kept as a daily series rather than read once. You will not find it in Spotify for Artists, which reports listeners, followers, saves and release engagement but not the 0 to 100 popularity score or a world rank. The number lives on the artist profile itself, and the paid platforms in this category are how most people watch it over time. The series is the part that matters: some of the artists tracked in Opah are gaining popularity right now while their monthly listeners fall. A single reading on a single day shows you neither half of that.

Chartmetric alternatives

Every Chartmetric alternative shows you the score.One of them shows you the play.

Chartmetric, Soundcharts, Viberate and Songstats all do the same job: they report on the artists you tell them to watch, meaning listeners, followers and the shape of a catalogue. Opah does that job too, the 0 to 100 Spotify popularity score included, on your own artist and on anyone you want to study. What none of the other four do is read what those artists actually ran to get those numbers, which is the half that tells you what to do on Monday. The table below is every one of them at the price its own page charges, read on 30 August 2026 with both sides of the billing toggle clicked, because most of them show you the yearly rate first.

The comparison, at a glance

Entry plan for each. Most tools here show you the yearly rate first, so the two price columns are kept apart.

Opah compared with Chartmetric, Soundcharts, Viberate and Songstats on price billed monthly and yearly, what the entry plan covers, and three capabilities. Figures read from each seller’s own pricing page on 30 August 2026.

Soundcharts also sells an API from $250 a month. Read the third column before the second: what an entry plan covers moves the real price per artist further than the headline figure does.

What Opah shows you that the others can’t

Every tool above reports outcomes, Opah included. That layer is worth paying for and it is the entire category. What none of the other four can tell you is what the artists ahead of you are doing to get those outcomes.

six artists read as one, not six dashboards

A Niche Playbook is 5 artists read as one thing rather than 5 dashboards opened in turn. Measured 3 September 2026, here is what one of them returned:

5 of 5share Sydney

Point the first test budget at Sydney and Melbourne. Every artist in this niche has measurable listeners in Sydney; only 1 of 5 does in Los Angeles.

Nothing in the table above can return that, and not because their data is worse. It is not a fact about any one artist. It only exists once 5 of them are read together, and every tool on this page is built to show you one artist at a time. That is also why the answer was Sydney and not Los Angeles, which is where the budget would have gone.

That is an addition, not a substitution. Opah still gives you the read on your own numbers, and keeps the ones your Spotify dashboard leaves out. It just does not stop there, and where it goes next is the question the category never reaches: so what should I actually do next?

What the four alternatives do better

Opah does not alert you when a playlist adds or drops you, read radio, or let you search a catalogue for artists you have not named. If that is the job, one of these is the buy, and plenty of people run Opah alongside one of them.

Chartmetric
$60 a month
Strongest at searching the whole market.
The broadest dataset here, and the buy if you need to search the whole market rather than watch artists you have already named. The $40 its page shows first is the annual rate; month to month is $60, or $480 up front for the year.
Soundcharts
$10 a month
Strongest at radio and airplay.
2,498 radio stations across 87 countries, the deepest airplay coverage on this page. The $10 entry covers exactly one artist; ten costs $49.
Viberate
€39.90 a month
Strongest at breadth across 11 million artists.
Every artist on Spotify with discovery filters on top. Priced in euros, and the annual rate is roughly half the monthly one.
Songstats
€11.99 a month
Strongest at knowing the moment a playlist moves.
Built around the alert rather than the dashboard, so a playlist add reaches you the hour it happens. The €19.99 bundle adds radio and TV monitoring.

Is Opah right for you?

Yes, if

You want the Spotify numbers your own dashboard leaves out, the 0 to 100 popularity score, tracked daily and not at $60 a month.
You already know which artists are ahead of you and want to see what they are actually doing.
You are about to spend money on ads and would rather copy something that has survived than guess.
You manage between three and thirty artists, or you are one of them.
You want a next move, not another dashboard to interpret.

Buy something else if

You need to search a catalogue and find artists you have never heard of. Buy Chartmetric or Viberate.
Playlist add and drop alerts, position tracking and pitching are the whole job. Buy Songstats or Soundcharts.
Radio and airplay matter in your genre. Buy Soundcharts.
You are building software and need an API. Buy Soundcharts, from $250 a month.

Name your own artist, and the two ahead of you.

Opah reads the Meta Ad Library, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify for all three the same way: popularity and listeners as a daily series, every ad each one is running and how long it has lasted, and which cities already stream them. Then it says where you diverge from the two and what to do about it this week. $19 a month for three artists.
