Mint marks the Spotify numbers all five tools report. Amber marks the Meta ad archive, which none of the other four lists on its pricing page. Soundcharts also sells API access on its own, from $50 a month for 10,000 queries.

What does Opah add to the Spotify numbers?

Opah adds every artist’s Meta ad archive, back to 2020, and reads it next to their Spotify numbers in the Niche Playbook. Add your own artist and it tracks the popularity score for yours too, a number Spotify for Artists does not show.

Opah dates every ad, so the few that kept running stand apart from the many that did not. Below, the Niche Playbook reads one real 5-artist niche.

What do the other four do better?

Chartmetric, Soundcharts, Viberate and Songstats each beat Opah at one job. Opah does not alert you when a playlist adds or drops you, read radio, or search a catalogue for artists you have not named.

Opah runs fine beside any of these four.

  • 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.

    Its Flow AI agent is sold on top, from $60 a month.

  • Strongest at radio and airplay.

    Radio and airplay is the specialty: every plan monitors it, and the $129 PRO adds the live radio feed, station rankings, API access and an MCP server. The $10 entry covers exactly one artist; ten costs $49.

  • Strongest at breadth across 12 million artists.

    Twelve million artists with discovery filters on top. The 10-artist Manager plan is the €39 entry; the full market, its history and the A&R tools start at €89.

    Priced in euros, and paying yearly cuts €39 to €25 a month. The €119 Professional + MCP plan adds its data inside ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

  • 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, and every plan includes an MCP server.

Which tool should you buy?

Buy Opah if you want your own Spotify numbers and the ads of the artists ahead of you in one place. Buy one of the others if the job is search, radio, playlist alerts or an API.

Buy Opah if

  • You want the Spotify popularity score and monthly listeners as a daily series for 10 artists at $39 a month instead of Chartmetric's $60.
  • You know which artists are a few steps ahead of you and want to see the ads they kept running.
  • You are about to spend on ads and would start from a creative that lasted rather than guess.
  • You manage between 3 and 30 artists, or you are one of them.
  • You want the next city or creative to try, named for you, instead of another dashboard to read.

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, whose API plan starts at $50 a month.

What do people ask before switching from Chartmetric?

More on the FAQ, or write to support@opah.studio and a person replies.

What is the best Chartmetric alternative?

Opah is the best Chartmetric alternative if you want the Spotify popularity score and monthly listeners for 10 artists at $39 a month instead of $60.

Opah tracks both as a daily series: 10 artists for $39 a month on Opah Pro, the same count as Chartmetric's $60 Manager plan, or three artists for $19 on Opah Core. It is also the only tool on this page that collects every Meta ad those artists have run.

If your reason for leaving is different, buy accordingly: Viberate at €39 a month to search 12 million artists you have never named, Soundcharts at $10 for radio and airplay, Songstats at €11.99 for playlist add and drop alerts.

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, and like for like Opah Pro covers 10 artists for $39 against Chartmetric's $60 for 10.

Two entry plans cost less and each covers exactly one artist: Soundcharts at $10 and Songstats at €11.99. Chartmetric is $60 a month billed monthly, or $480 up front for the year, and Viberate is €39. Per artist, Chartmetric Manager is $6.00 and Opah Core $19 for three is more; the 10-artist plans are the fair comparison.

Price is rarely the whole reason to switch. All four rivals do the job Chartmetric does with different reach, and only Opah adds the ads those artists are running.

How much does Chartmetric actually cost?

Chartmetric's 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 most comparison pages quote is the annual rate and means $480 up front. The Manager plan covers premium data for 10 artists.

Opah covers 10 artists for $39 a month on Opah Pro, or three for $19 on Opah Core. Every Chartmetric plan and what it covers is on the Chartmetric pricing page.

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

Of the five tools on this page, only Opah shows which ads another artist is running.

None of Chartmetric, Soundcharts, Viberate or Songstats names ad coverage on its product or pricing pages, read on 14 October 2026. Opah collects the Meta ad archive for every artist on your roster, keeps the creative, and dates each ad, so you can tell which ones kept running. What that looks like for a niche is on the Meta ads for musicians page.

Do I still need Chartmetric if I use Opah?

You do not need Chartmetric if you use Opah, unless you need playlist alerts, radio data or a search across artists you have not named.

Opah shows the playlists featuring an artist and the ones listeners discover them through. 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 for artists you have not named, because in Opah you say who to watch.

If none of those is the job, Opah covers the same Spotify numbers for 10 artists at $39 against Chartmetric's $60 for 10, and adds the ad archive none of the four has an equivalent of. Opah runs fine beside any of the four.

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

Yes, Opah shows your own artist's numbers, and an artist slot works the same for your own artist or one you study.

Add your own artist and Opah tracks the Spotify popularity score (0 to 100), monthly listeners, top cities and your catalogue track by track, as a daily series. It reads your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube output against the cities where you are heard.

Most people put 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?

You can see your Spotify popularity score in Opah, on any artist you add, from $19 a month for three artists.

Opah keeps it as a daily series. Spotify for Artists reports listeners, followers, saves and release engagement, but not the 0 to 100 popularity score or a world rank.

The series is the useful part: some artists tracked in Opah are gaining popularity while their monthly listeners fall, and a single reading on a single day shows neither. What the score is, and what moves it, is on the popularity score page.

$19 a month for 3 artists

Yours and the ones you study, each with Spotify numbers daily and every Meta ad they have run. Billed yearly it is $190, two months free. Opah needs no login to Spotify for Artists or your ad account, and the artists you track are never contacted.

Where does each price come from?

Every competitor price above was read on 14 October 2026 from the seller’s own pricing page.

Prices in this category change, and every one of these sellers defaults its page to the yearly rate. If a figure here no longer matches the page it links to, it is wrong and we want to know: support@opah.studio.
