The Difference Between Daily Trends, Monthly Analytics, and Monthly Reports
The Daily Trends tab includes an estimation we receive daily from select platforms. These numbers may vary from the final numbers reported. There are quite a few reasons that the platforms can change their statistics from the estimates we receive daily. Some of such reasons including:
- Plays without revenue may not be reported in the sales report
- Plays from users that are offline can not be reported on the daily trends, but can included in the sales reports.
- Abnormal streaming activity can be reported in daily trends and then later removed from sales reports.
- Platforms may experience an issue reporting daily data resulting in data only being available monthly.
Monthly Analytics is a tool to analyze sales data that’s already been processed. This is not an estimation. Monthly analytics show the data by sales month (The month that the views, streams, or downloads really occurred). Some platforms take longer to report than others, so you may not see payments from every platform in a given month.
Monthly Reports group sales by account month. Your report for November, for example, will have sales that happened on the platforms in previous months and were reported/paid in November. We do not offer any visual chart for this page as the main goal for this page is to provide detailed data available for accounting purposes.
Monthly Analytics and Monthly Reports use the same data presented in different ways. Monthly Analytics groups it by the month that the streams occurred and Monthly Reports groups it by the month that the platform paid you.
