[OP3](https://op3.dev/) has come up [around here in some discussion](https://forum.podcaster.community/t/campfire-sunday-march-24-2024/4124/3).

Here’s a look at how the listening platforms compare, measured using OP3 data.

Why should you use OP3 with your podcast? Because you’re contributing to everyone’s ability to get some podcasting-wide statistics without the publishing platforms being involved.

You also get publisher-independent data: If you move podcast to another host, you don’t lose your statistics.
