A note from the founder
October 2026
I've spent 12 years in the music business. I've run marketing for artists you stream every day — and I've watched good people light money on fire buying playlist placements that were botted from day one.
Here's what nobody tells you: the playlist industry runs on a number nobody verifies. A curator shows you ‘200,000 followers’ and you pay. Nobody checks whether those followers are real. I know, because I used to be the guy trying to figure out which playlists were worth the money — with nothing but a follower count and a prayer.
Then the feds started prosecuting. Eighteen months in federal prison for botted streams. And suddenly every artist buying placements blind is holding risk they never signed up for.
I built PlaylistGOATS to be the thing I wished existed: paste a playlist link, see the evidence — follower history, track churn, the curator's footprint — and decide for yourself. We don't sell a magic score. We show you the math, because nobody else will.
The goal isn't more playlists. The goal is better playlists. Real curators. Real listeners. Organic discovery. Less risk.

Why your distributor is watching
The playlist you paid for could cost you your royalties.
The crackdown doesn't land on the botters. It lands on the artist whose track is sitting in a botted playlist.

$0 what distributors pay when your streams look botted
1
The DOJ calls it wire fraud
He ran bots on AI-generated songs, pocketed $10M+ in royalties, and got 18 months in federal prison. Streaming fraud is financial fraud now.
2
Distributors don't ask questions first
When Spotify flags botted activity, your distributor withholds royalties, fines you, or pulls the track. You argue about it later. The playlist seller keeps your money either way.
3
The "guaranteed streams" trap
Anyone selling "guaranteed streams" has to produce numbers somehow. Bots are cheapest. Paying a curator for their time to listen is normal. Paying for the outcome is what gets tracks flagged.
You can't afford to pitch blind anymore. Vet the playlist before it touches your music.

How it works
Four moves. Zero blind pitches.
Click through — this is the whole product.
Paste a link. Get a read in 30 seconds.
Drop in any Spotify playlist URL. We pull follower history, track churn, curator footprint, network overlap — everything the playlist page hides from you.
The detail: one link in, full evidence report out. No account needed for the first look.
Evidence rows, not a black-box score.
Growth spikes. Listener-to-follower ratios. Curator verification. Network overlap. Every indicator shown with the math behind it — you see what we see, then you make the call.
The detail: no mystery 0–100. What's clean, what's off, exactly why — row by row.
Pitch real curators, from your own email.
Verified contact paths — real emails, real submission forms, real people. We never touch your Spotify account or your distributor. Your pitch, your inbox.
The detail: every pitch goes to a real curator with real listeners. That's the whole promise.
Every submission logged. Risk shifts flagged.
A playlist that was clean in January can be dirty by June. We rescan on a schedule and alert you when a playlist's risk moves — before your track is sitting in it.
The detail: daily follower snapshots compound into history. The longer we watch, the sharper the read.
Why trust the verdict
We're not guessing. We've looked at more playlists than anyone in the indie world.
Every scan draws on a living database built playlist by playlist — not a black-box score invented in a pitch deck.

Growing daily — every scan feeds the database.
The honest edge
Nobody in playlist intel admits this: Spotify's data can't prove which followers were bought. Every 0–100 score is indicators on a scale. Competitors sell the number and hide the math.
We show the indicators plus the evidence. You see what we see. That's the whole product.
Put 889,703 analyzed playlists to work for you.

Straight answers
Asked like an artist, answered like a human.
The questions every indie artist actually has — including the uncomfortable ones.
Will PlaylistGOATS get my music banned?
No — that's the whole point. We never touch your music, your account, or your distributor. You check a playlist before you pitch, from your own email. What gets music flagged is landing on botted playlists blind. We keep you off those.
Do you guarantee placements or streams?
No. And anyone who guarantees them is lying to you. Placement is the curator's call and the music's job — nobody honest can promise it. Our promise is narrower and real: every pitch you send through PlaylistGOATS goes to a real curator with real listeners, on a playlist we've actually vetted.
What's the difference between paying a curator and paying for streams?
Paying a curator for their time to listen is normal — it's how the industry has always worked. Paying for guaranteed streams is the slippery slope: to hit those numbers, somebody reaches for bots, and botted streams get tracks flagged, fined, and pulled. One is a service. The other is a liability.
How is this different from a 0–100 bot score?
Every bot score is indicators on a scale — and anyone claiming certainty is selling you something. The difference: we show the indicators and the evidence. You see the math. You make the call.
I already got burned by a playlist service. Why is this different?
We're not a playlist service. We don't sell placements or take a cut of promo spend — no financial reason to call a dirty playlist clean. Our only product is the truth about the playlist.
What do I need to use it?
A Spotify playlist link. That's it. Paste it, read the evidence, decide. No installs, no connecting your Spotify account, no handing over your catalog.
What does free include?
5 free pitches — real curator contact reveals, and every pitch starts with a scan. No card, no catch. Upgrade for unlimited pitches, scans and tracking.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Pitch every day for 7 days. If you don't find curators worth pitching, email us and we'll refund every penny. No forms, no hoops. We can offer it because the database does the heavy lifting — 564,493 curators is a lot of inboxes.
