Podcast Directories
Services and apps that index, categorize, and provide discovery for podcasts so listeners can search, subscribe, and stream episodes.
Apple is the default answer in AI responses for Podcast Directories
When users ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini about Podcast Directories, Apple is the brand that surfaces first - unprompted, consistently, and usually at the top of any list the model generates. Spotify is a close second, but the gap between them is meaningful. If you're competing in this space and you're not in the top handful, you're effectively invisible to AI-driven discovery.

How is this calculated? Methodology
Every brand in this leaderboard is scored against the same set of 269 shared Podcast Directories prompts. The same prompts, same model, same iterations. So differences in scores reflect actual differences in AI visibility, not differences in measurement.
Overall AI Visibility Score
(LBA × Authority × TOM)^(1/3). Geometric mean is used so that any single weak metric pulls the overall score down, rather than being masked by strength elsewhere.
Shared industry prompts
