- Feb 13: Podstats, a podcast analytics platform is to close at the end of this month "due to lack of use". The tool gave AI-generated analysis emails - here's a recent one - and used OP3 for data collection.
- Feb 2: Podlytic appears to be a new analytics platform "that unifies your historical data with real-time tracking — no matter where you host".
