The quick comparison

What users say about the others

SubmitHub

Trustpilot's own summary says reviewers like the interface and exposure, but notes that "curator feedback can be inconsistent" and that some curators decline music "without valid reasons." One reviewer wrote that curators "keep your tracks for too short a time" and that credit requirements have gone up. A January 2026 Reddit post complained a curator "didn't even listen to the whole song." SubmitHub's founder replied there, said the curator did listen to the whole track, and refunded the 3 credits. Where it's the better pick: you want volume and a big marketplace and you're fine with a lottery.

Groover

Trustpilot reviewers split. Some like the curator list. Others write that the service "has gone downhill" and that support is slow. One reviewer paid about $60 for 10 group submissions, got six rejections and one playlist that "proved to be virtually worthless." A long Reddit thread from a working artist argued most curators on the site are "just trying to get paid" because his tracks almost never got added. Where it's the better pick: you want feedback from labels, blogs and radio as well as playlists.

Playlist Push

Reviewers say it works but "can be expensive," and some report "a lot of the playlists are not very active." One reviewer said the curator and genre match "faded away towards the end of the campaign." Where it's the better pick: you have $280 or more and want someone else to run it.

SoundCampaign

Rated 3.9 on Trustpilot (2,088 reviews). Reviewers mention "zero responses" from campaigns, and one wrote that a curator praised the song, declined it, and the playlist was hard to find on Spotify.

DailyPlaylists

This one is a Reddit story, not a rating. One user wrote that after linking their Spotify account, unknown songs appeared in their liked songs. Commenters said submitting often means granting permission to modify your account, and one warned that "there's a lot of scam/bot playlists there too" because anyone can list a playlist.

The thing none of them fix: fake streams

A user on r/musicmarketing paid $300 for "targeted playlist placements" and a 25,000 stream guarantee. They got 28,000 streams, mostly from three countries where they had no audience. Three weeks later their distributor warned Spotify might remove the track. The promo service stopped replying. Spotify's own rules put the risk on the artist, which is why pitching the wrong playlist can cost more than the fee.

Where PlaylistGOATS is different

• It starts from integrity, not volume. We're a playlist integrity company. The point is that you pitch real curators with organic playlists, and your music stays up.
• Vetted curators. We vet the curators you're matched with.
• The work around the pitch. Curator matching, pitch drafts and alerts, so you spend less time researching.
• Fake-playlist detection built in. It's a probability, not a verdict. Free tools like SubmitHub's playlist checker and artist.tools' bot checker exist too. Use more than one signal, ours included.
• Try before you pay. 5 free pitches when you sign up.

Where we aren't the better pick

We're built for matching and checking, not for sheer volume. If you want the biggest marketplace of curators, SubmitHub and Groover are built for that. If you want a service to run a campaign for you, Playlist Push does that. We also can't show you thousands of Trustpilot reviews, so read independent reviews of every service, ours included.

How to choose

1. Decide what you're afraid of: wasted money, or a flagged track.
2. If it's a flagged track, check every playlist before you pitch, with any tool.
3. Never buy a guaranteed stream count.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They say what the service is actually bad at.
