In this category
Are podcast plays and streams the same measure?
No. Spotify calls plays its primary audience and engagement measure, while its Partner Program counts a stream after at least 60 seconds for eligibility and revenue. Define the measure before comparing episodes or platforms.
What does subscription analytics add?
For eligible Spotify-hosted shows with active subscriptions, Spotify offers subscriber growth, retention and cancellation information. These measures describe that offering, not total podcast reach.
Can an episode be reserved for subscribers?
Spotify says eligible creators can set existing or future episodes as subscription-only. Availability depends on the show's hosting and subscription eligibility, so a creator should verify the current offer before advertising access.
Why can subscription earnings vary by day?
Spotify notes that subscribers are charged monthly and earnings may cluster around billing dates. A single day's receipts should not be presented as a stable run rate without a period and reconciliation.

The exact category cohort does not support a publishable AOV aggregate.
Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census. Parent and sibling benchmarks are never substituted.
