What Soundcharts does better
Its best job is radio and airplay. For a named set of artists, read on.
- Radio and airplay on every plan
- Every Soundcharts plan monitors radio, and the $129 monthly PRO adds the live radio feed and station rankings. Opah reads no radio.
- An API and an MCP server
- The Soundcharts API plan starts at $50 a month, and PRO adds an MCP server. Opah has no API.
- Discovery on PRO
- Soundcharts PRO searches the whole market. In Opah you name the artists you watch.
- One artist for ten dollars
- $10 a month for one artist is less than any Opah plan. Opah's entry plan covers three.
What Opah does that Soundcharts does not
Soundcharts names no ad coverage on its product or pricing pages. Opah keeps every Meta ad each artist you add has run since 2020, and the Spotify popularity score as a daily series. None of the four tools on the comparison page names that score.
One measured example: across the 60 charting artists on Opah’s market panel, 11,992 Meta ads started in a year, and on the 11,435 that carry a button, Listen now leads, ahead of Shop now.
- Every Meta ad
- The creative, the copy, the button, the link and the days it ran, for any artist you add
- Refreshed every 72 hours
- Popularity score
- Spotify's 0 to 100 number as a daily series, for any artist, yours included
- Every 24 hours
- The Niche Playbook
- Up to six artists read as one market: the cities they share, the creative they kept, the next move
- Every plan
- Smart Links
- Release pages you build and run, with click cities and fan emails
- Unlimited on every plan
