The short version
A podcast platform adding radio. A radio platform built for sales.
Magellan AI's primary positioning is around podcast advertising. On its own homepage, the company describes itself as offering "podcast insights and attribution in one platform" for "publishers, agencies, and brands" - and in early 2026 announced a new capability: "Magellan AI Launches Broadcast Radio Attribution." Radio is a recent addition to a podcast-first product.
Spotwise runs the other way. It monitors radio, TV and podcasts from the station and show side - real-time ad detection, full transcripts and playback, and a daily digest of advertiser leads with decision-makers found for you, live in 14 countries today. Podcast monitoring is live, with coverage added market by market. This page walks through the public facts about both, so you can pick the platform that matches where your revenue actually comes from.

Why teams move
Attribution measures a campaign. Spotwise fills the pipeline.
Every monitoring tool stops at the report. Spotwise hears every ad on radio, TV and podcasts, then does the work that follows.
Radio is the product, not a new module
Spotwise has been a radio ad monitoring platform since day one - the detection pipeline, the UX, and the customer-success process are all designed for the realities of broadcast radio.
Sales-lead output, not just attribution
Spotwise does not stop at measuring a campaign. Every detected advertiser feeds a daily lead workflow - prospect, found decision-maker, drafted pitch - that station sellers act on the same morning.
Built for station-side workflows
Spotwise is designed for the people inside a radio station - sales managers, sellers, programmers - with screens and daily rhythms tuned to how those roles actually work.
Proof you can hear
Every detection comes with a full transcript, in-dashboard playback, and downloadable audio - evidence your sellers can put in front of an advertiser, not just a number on a chart.
