AI-Powered Podcast Launch & Growth Simulator

Planning a podcast? Don’t fly blind. Our AI-driven simulator forecasts your first 3 months of downloads, listening minutes, subscriber growth, and ad revenue across niches like True Crime, Business, Health, and Education. Instantly fill content gaps, target underserved audiences, and maximize your AdSense-style sponsorship earnings.

Why Podcast Growth Simulation Matters

Launching a podcast involves production costs, promotion time, and guest bookings. Many podcasters discover too late that their chosen niche lacks demand or faces intense competition. Manual research across platforms—Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Trends—yields fragmented insights. This tool bridges that gap, consolidating niche benchmarks, listener behavior metrics, and sponsorship CPM rates into one browser-based dashboard.

How It Works

We embed a client-side dataset of 10 podcast niches, each annotated with:

• Average listens per subscriber per episode
• Typical subscriber growth rate (%) per month
• Industry sponsorship CPM (USD per 1,000 listens)

Enter your start subscriber base, episodes per month, and average episode length in minutes. Click “Simulate Growth,” and JavaScript calculates:

1. Projected downloads = subscribers × listensPerSub per episode × episodes
2. Total listening minutes = downloads × avgLength
3. Sponsorship revenue = (downloads ÷ 1000) × CPM
4. New subscribers = downloads × subGrowthRate ÷ 100
