When you're viewing a Project in Listen, you can choose between four different views at the top of the page including: Insights, Comparison, Monitoring, and Mentions. Comparison View allows you to view the insights and performance of each Topic in your Project side-by-side. When you’re comparing your Topics, you can also choose to view the same time range or else different time ranges for each Topic.

To view insights in Comparison view, your Listen Project must have at least 2 topics.
