# Understand analytics history by plan

Exact analytics history per plan, how Analytics limits a date range to it, and where the limit shows.

Use this reference when you need to know how far back analytics data is available on your plan. It also explains what Analytics does with a date range that reaches further back.

## Analytics history per plan

| Plan                                           | Analytics history | Label in the app           |
| ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------- |
| Launch                                         | 7 days            | **7 days**                 |
| Starter                                        | 90 days           | **3 months**               |
| Grow                                           | 180 days          | **6 months**               |
| Scale                                          | 365 days          | **12 months**              |
| Creator, Pro, Enterprise, Broadcaster, Network | Unlimited         | **Full analytics history** |
| Older plans                                    | Unlimited         | **Full analytics history** |

The history follows the plan of the podcast owner. An admin or editor who views a podcast sees the history of the owner's plan.

The **Plan** tab of **My account** (open the user menu and select **My account**) shows the same value under **Your Plan Includes** as **7-day retention** (Launch), **3 months of analytics history** (Starter), **6 months of analytics history** (Grow), **12 months of analytics history** (Scale), or **Full analytics history** (Creator and above, and older plans).

On Launch, the Plan tab lists Analytics access as 7-day retention under Your Plan Includes.

## How the history limit works

| Item                                                       | Behavior                                                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| First available day                                        | Today minus the history in days, plus one. On Launch, a history of 7 days covers today and the 6 days before.                                                  |
| Date range that starts earlier                             | Analytics moves the start to the first available day and keeps the end date.                                                                                   |
| End date                                                   | Never later than today.                                                                                                                                        |
| Date range picker                                          | Shortcuts outside the history are hidden. The earliest selectable date is the first available day.                                                             |
| Overview box                                               | Shows the last 30 days, or the full history when the history is shorter than 30 days.                                                                          |
| Episode comparison                                         | Only episodes published inside the history can be compared.                                                                                                    |
| Weekly reports                                             | The Reports list on the dashboard shows only reports whose period starts inside the history.                                                                   |
| Notice on podcast, episode, insights, and comparison pages | **Your plan includes 6 months of analytics history.** or **You're seeing the latest 6 months included in your plan.** with **Upgrade to unlock more history**. |

![Podcast analytics page in the classic view with the notice Your plan includes 7 days of analytics history and the link Upgrade to unlock more history](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-32a67d59f4f135a71f18997fe908e88cb6d6dfd3%2Fdoc-analytics-004-classic-date-range.png?alt=media)

The history notice below the downloads table names the included history and links to the upgrade.

Analytics, the weekly reports, and the API do not show data outside the history. Customers who moved from an older plan can export earlier download counts for a limited time. See [Export your download history after a plan change](/documentation/grow-and-monetize/analytics/export-your-download-history-after-a-plan-change.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/grow-and-monetize/analytics/understand-analytics-history-by-plan.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
