Songstats is a mobile-first music analytics app for artists, labels and teams: it unifies streams, listeners, followers, playlist activity, chart positions, radio airplay (via Radiostats, covering 50,000+ stations) and social signals across Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram and more, with a real-time activity feed, push notifications for playlist adds and chart entries, and shareable milestone artworks.

Songstats is an account-based tool for monitoring your own catalog with alerts. StreamClout is a free public database for researching any artist, album or track: daily-updated Spotify stats with narrative overviews, visible FAQs and a published methodology — no app, no subscription.
Songstats' model is per-artist/label subscriptions tied to your account — public lookup of arbitrary artists isn't its purpose. For that, StreamClout's public entity pages are the direct answer, free to read without an account.
Monitoring your own releases with real-time alerts and radio tracking → Songstats. Researching any artist's public Spotify stats with explanations, free → StreamClout. Many people reasonably use both.
