Music24 vs Chartmetric: Which is right for you?

Music24 reads 12 million playlists every day across 30+ streaming services — including the aggregated private-save signal that public APIs simply don't expose. Chartmetric is the legacy industry data warehouse with deep historical archives, but if your job is figuring out what listeners are actually keeping right now, the comparison gets one-sided fast.

Where Chartmetric still has the edge

Five-year archives for retroactive work. If your job is pulling a year-on-year chart timeline for a heritage artist or auditing a 2022 campaign, Chartmetric's archive depth is the right tool. Music24 starts at 14 days and tops out at 6 months on Pro because we're built for what's happening right now.
Terrestrial radio promo. 3K+ radio stations is real coverage if you're working radio singles or rotation deals — that's a workflow we don't compete on by design.
Brand, sync, and sponsorship insights. Chartmetric publishes brand and sponsorship data on Premium and above — useful if you're chasing sync placements or brand-deal context. Music24 doesn't track that side of the business.

Where Music24 wins

Playlist breadth that matches the modern listener. 12M playlists across 30+ services daily — Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, and YouTube Music get the same depth as Spotify. Most competitors publish a higher gross playlist count by counting Spotify alone.
The private-save signal Chartmetric can't see. Aggregated, anonymous saves from millions of listeners — what people actually keep on their phones, not what editors said about it. Public APIs don't expose this; Music24 does. This alone is a reason to switch.
Pricing that respects working professionals. Basic at €9/month, Premium at €89/month, Pro at €489/month — versus Chartmetric Premium at $117/month and Ultra at $150/month, both yearly-only contracts. Spend 5x less, skip the annual lock-in.
Built for action, not analysis paralysis. Daily browse credits, alerts on followed artists and tracks on every paid tier (Chartmetric gates 10K alerts behind Ultra), geo filters from Premium up. Designed for the marketer or A&R who needs to act this week.
Focus over surface area. Chartmetric covers radio, sync, brand insights, TikTok, social, and seven other things. Music24 puts every euro into playlist depth, save signal, and 30+ streaming-service coverage. If 80% of your work happens inside playlists, focus translates to better data.

Which tool fits which job?

A&R

A&R scouts hunting emerging artists across editorial and user playlists pick Music24 — the private-save signal surfaces real traction weeks before public chart metrics catch up. Chartmetric only sees what the public sees.

Music24 wins

Manager

Artist managers tracking what's actually working — which playlists added the new single, which markets are saving it, where to push next — get more daily value from Music24. Chartmetric makes sense for 5-year retrospective decks; day-to-day decisions live in playlist data.

Music24 wins

Label

Labels with active radio, sync, and brand-deal teams will need Chartmetric for those specific workflows — the platform was built for that combined view. For the streaming and playlist side of the business, Music24 is the cheaper, deeper tool.

Chartmetric wins

Marketer

Playlist marketers and pluggers measuring whether a pitch landed pick Music24 — daily playlist updates across 30+ services and the save signal answer that question directly. Chartmetric is too broad and too expensive for this single job.

Frequently asked questions

Is Music24 a Chartmetric replacement?

Not for every job. Music24 replaces Chartmetric for playlist-first workflows: tracking which songs are landing on which playlists across 30+ services, watching the private-save signal, and acting on alerts. For radio, sync, brand insights, or 5-year chart archives, Chartmetric still leads.

How is Music24 cheaper than Chartmetric Premium?

Music24 is focused. We do playlists, saves, and alerts deeply — not radio, social engagement, or sync. That focus lets us start at €9/month (Basic) and scale to €89/month (Premium) and €489/month (Pro). Chartmetric Premium is $117/month because it covers a much broader surface area.

Why does the playlist count differ — 12M (Music24) vs 26M+ (Chartmetric)?

Different scope. Chartmetric publishes a higher gross count, primarily Spotify-centric. Music24 reads 12 million playlists across 30+ streaming services with daily updates and an aggregated private-save signal layered on top. The right number depends on whether you need breadth across services or maximum coverage on Spotify.

Can I export data from Music24?

CSV export is included on the Pro plan (€489/month or €4,075/year). The Music24 API is shipped — subscribe self-serve via RapidAPI (rapidapi.com/music2410) or contact [email protected] for higher limits, custom endpoints, or a private licensing arrangement. Chartmetric's developer API starts at $350/month.

How far back does Music24 keep playlist history?

Basic stores 14 days, Premium stores 30 days, Pro stores 6 months. If you need multi-year chart timelines, Chartmetric goes up to 5 years and remains the better tool for that use case.
