Spotify is the default answer in AI responses for Podcast Hosting Platforms
Spotify and Buzzsprout together dominate AI responses for Podcast Hosting Platforms. Both brands consistently surface unprompted, with the model treating them as the default answers for most category queries. Brands outside the top two face a structural disadvantage: users are usually given these two before the model even considers alternatives.

How is this calculated? Methodology
Every brand in this leaderboard is scored against the same set of 281 shared Podcast Hosting Platforms 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.
