Questions
What Opah is, what it costs,and what it does not do.
Every answer below is the real one, including the three that are a plain no. If your question is which tool to buy rather than how this one works, the comparison page answers that, with every competitor’s price read from its own page and dated. If it is on neither, support@opah.studio reaches a person.
What Opah is
The product, the sources, and how current the numbers are.
What is Opah?
- Opah is a music intelligence tool for independent artists and the people who manage them. You name the artists you want to follow, your own and the ones ahead of you, and Opah tracks each of them across the Meta Ad Library, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Spotify, then reads those sources together rather than as five separate dashboards. It does two things at once: it keeps the numbers your own dashboard leaves out, including Spotify's 0 to 100 popularity score, as a daily series; and it keeps every ad and post those artists are running, dated, with the creative attached. Plans start at $19 a month.
What do I actually see for one artist?
- Every ad that artist has run on Facebook and Instagram, with the creative, the caption, the call to action, the destination it sends people to, and how many days each one lasted before it was switched off. Their Spotify popularity, monthly listeners, followers and top listener cities as a daily series, and their catalogue track by track with the tracks outperforming the artist's own average marked. Their Instagram, TikTok and YouTube posting cadence around a release. And when you group artists into a playbook, the reads that only exist across several artists at once: the cities more than one of them is buying, where their audiences overlap, and the formats the group is converging on.
Where does the data come from?
- Opah reads the Meta Ad Library for the ads, and Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Spotify for everything else, collecting each on its own schedule and cross-referencing them per artist. It does not connect to your ad account and it does not connect to Spotify for Artists. There is nothing to authorize and nothing to install. You name an artist and Opah goes and reads.
How often does it refresh?
- Spotify every day. The Meta Ad Library, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube every three days. Those are the intervals actually observed in production, not a setting quoted from a config file: the median gap between two successful reads is 24 hours for Spotify and 72 hours for the other four. Spotify's figures move every day and the others do not, which is why they are not on the same clock.
Plans and billing
What a plan costs, what it covers, and how to change or end one.
What does Opah cost?
- Opah Indie is $19 a month for 3 artists, Opah Pro is $39 a month for 10 artists, Opah Suite is $69 a month for 30 artists. Annual billing is two months free. Every plan reads all five sources for every artist on it. The tiers differ by how many artists and playbooks you get, not by which data you see. The pricing page carries the introductory price for a first subscription and whether it is still available, because that one depends on who is asking.
What is a playbook?
- A playbook is a group of up to six artists that Opah reads as one thing instead of six. It is where the cross-artist findings live: the cities more than one of the group is buying, where their audiences overlap, which formats they are converging on, and where you diverge from them. Opah Indie includes one playbook; Opah Pro and Opah Suite include three.
How do I cancel?
- Sign in, scroll to the bottom of your dashboard, open Account, and choose Manage subscription. That opens the billing portal, where you can cancel, switch plan, update your card or download an invoice. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves your plan fully working until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Can I change plans?
- Yes, in that same billing portal, and it takes effect at your next renewal. Moving down to a plan with fewer artist slots does not delete anything. Opah covers the artists you added first, up to the new limit, and parks the rest: they stay on your roster, clearly labelled, and stop updating. It never quietly stops refreshing an artist while still showing you their page.
Do you offer refunds?
- No, except where the law requires one: payments are not refundable and a partial billing period is not prorated. That is section 3 of the terms. If you think you have been charged wrongly, email support@opah.studio.
Using it
Adding artists, what Opah can and cannot find, and what to expect on day one.
How do I add an artist?
- Type the name. Opah looks for their Spotify profile and their Meta advertiser page and adds them if there is one obvious match, and asks you to pick when more than one is plausible rather than guessing. If it cannot find a Meta page for that artist it tells you so instead of handing you an empty one.
Which artists can I track?
- Any artist you can name, whether or not you manage them, as long as they are on Spotify. Ads are a separate question: an artist only has an ad archive if they have actually advertised on Facebook or Instagram, and plenty of independent artists never have. Opah says which of the two it found when you add them, so an empty ad panel is a stated answer rather than a page that looks broken.
I just added an artist and part of the page is empty. Why?
- There are two different reasons and Opah distinguishes them, because they mean opposite things. An empty ad panel almost always means that artist has not run ads, which is itself a finding about them. An empty trend line means something else entirely: popularity, listeners and followers are read once a day, so a line needs days before it has a shape worth reading. Give it about a week. The ad archive is not like that. It arrives in full on the first read, reaching as far back as 2020.
Do you have an API?
- No. If an API is what you need, Soundcharts sells one; the comparison page says what it costs.
Name your own artist, and the two ahead of you.
Opah reads 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.
