vocumi is the A&R workspace for discovering, evaluating, tracking, and deciding on talent. Describe a sound, get a shortlist, understand the signals, track what changes, and walk into the meeting with a brief. All in one workspace instead of twenty tabs.

Does vocumi replace Chartmetric?

No. Chartmetric and vocumi serve different jobs. Use Chartmetric when you need their core product. Use vocumi when the job is a creative brief, a ranked shortlist, and a decision-ready leave-behind in one workspace.

Does vocumi have a free trial?

Yes. Sign up with no card. You get 21 days of Pro. The taste does not convert into a paid plan on its own. Then choose Basic, Pro, or Team, or stay on Free and buy credits.

Broad catalog intelligence vs a brief-led A&R desk

Chartmetric is built for broad music data intelligence and catalog research, including historical coverage and data into your own stack. vocumi is built for a creative brief that becomes a ranked shortlist, a comparable Score, and a print-ready snapshot. They can complement each other: research the catalog in Chartmetric, take the meeting pack from vocumi.

The same jobs, side by side

How Chartmetric and vocumi handle discovery, evaluation, decision support, workflow, monitoring, and data.
Job	Chartmetric	vocumi
Discovery	Catalog research across a large music dataset, including natural-language research tools.	Vibe Search takes one natural-language brief or mood and returns a ranked shortlist (Pro and Team, daily quota, and during the 21-day Pro trial). Direct Search by name is unlimited on every plan. Vibe Search does not apply audience-age or career-stage filters.
Evaluation	Artist comparison and profile metrics inside a catalog-intelligence product.	After an artist is on the desk, vocumi Score is a 0–100 composite indicator from licensed Soundcharts metrics. It is not a measure of artistic quality and it does not predict a hit. Similar Artists widens the list from an act you already trust.
Decision support	Research exports and reports drawn from catalog data.	Pulse is a written brief of what changed and why it matters for the meeting (Pro and Team, and during the trial). The print-ready report is a point-in-time snapshot of the desk: Score, Pulse, and roster notes.
Workflow and collaboration	Team research inside a catalog-intelligence product.	Shared workspace roster, notes, and tags. Team seats on Team. Chrome identifies artists on the page you are already reading and adds them to the desk.
Monitoring and tracking	Ongoing catalog and roster monitoring.	Roster tracking, weekly digest, and breakout alerts watch artists you already hold (Pro and Team, and during the trial). Vibe Search does not keep searching after you close the tab.
Data and integrations	Historical coverage, plus API or data-feed access for teams that want music data in their own stack.	Licensed Soundcharts metrics for scores and tracking after you shortlist. Spotify for search and identity. No public customer API, no warehouse data share, and no decade-long chart history.

vocumi Score is a 0–100 composite of Productivity, Market Reach, Fan Investment, and Catalog Health (Independence when a real label exists). Hype and Trend are separate. It uses licensed Soundcharts metrics once an artist is on the roster. It is not a measure of artistic quality and it does not predict a hit. Methodology: https://vocumi.com/methodology

A realistic brief

I need three emerging artists that fit a rainy-day jazz brief, and I have to present a shortlist on Friday.

In Chartmetric

You work the job as catalog research: inspect a large dataset, then export names for the meeting. The output is intelligence over Chartmetric’s catalog.

In vocumi

Type the sound into Vibe Search, add the names that fit to the roster, compare them on vocumi Score, generate a Pulse brief, and print the desk snapshot. Vibe Search is one natural-language query. It does not filter by audience age.

Choose Chartmetric if

You need historical playlist and chart coverage, or music data in your own stack.
The job is catalog-scale research on names and markets you already want to inspect.

Choose vocumi if

The job ends in a ranked shortlist, a comparable Score, and a meeting pack for Friday, all in one workspace.
You want a shared roster with notes and tags in one workspace.

Use both if

Keep Chartmetric for catalog research. Use vocumi for the brief, the shortlist, and the meeting.

Choose Chartmetric when the job is catalog intelligence and historical data. Choose vocumi when the job is a brief, a shortlist, and a decision-ready snapshot.
