What is Podgagement
Podgagement (formerly ‘My Podcast Reviews,’ launched in 2014) is a comprehensive podcast engagement and growth platform created by hall-of-fame podcasting educator Daniel J. Lewis. It automatically monitors ratings and reviews from nearly 200 sources across 175+ Apple Podcasts regions, tracks podcast chart rankings across nearly 34,000 global charts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify with up to six years of hourly historical data, and provides podcast SEO tracking to monitor keyword search visibility by platform and country.
Beyond analytics, Podgagement offers a suite of audience engagement tools: personalized CastFeedback.com pages for collecting voice and text listener feedback (with automatic voicemail transcription), smart landing pages via FollowthePodcast.com and LovethePodcast.com to drive followers and reviews, a social proof Image Maker for creating shareable promotional graphics, and a Podcast Beacon NFC key fob for in-person audience acquisition. The platform also tracks podcast networking opportunities by identifying related and recommending podcasts for cross-promotion and collaboration.
Podgagement uses a per-podcast subscription model with two tiers — Astro ($9/month) for review and ratings tracking, and Constellation ($19/month) for the full suite including chart rankings, SEO tracking, and engagement tools — with two months free on annual billing. It has served nearly 10,000 podcasters ranging from individual hobbyists to large media organizations, and integrates with Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Castbox, Slack, WordPress, and Zapier.

Pros & Cons
Pros

What makes Podgagement unique
Podgagement stands out from narrower competitors like Podrover (review tracking only) and Rate This Podcast (review collection only) by combining chart rankings, review aggregation, podcast SEO tracking, audience feedback collection (voice and text), NFC Podcast Beacon hardware for in-person audience acquisition, and a social proof Image Maker — all in one platform. Its six years of hourly historical chart data across nearly 34,000 global charts is described by Podnews as making it 'the most detailed charts and rankings provider' to replace Chartable. The per-podcast pricing model (rather than tiered slot-based pricing) is also a deliberate differentiator from legacy competitors.
