An excellent experience with Songtools!

My experience with Songtools has been great! I have been able to utilize their platform to grant my music more exposure through their automatic playlisting as well as create modern and chic landing pages for each of my songs! They also give you the opportunity to advertise your music and this increases the exposure even more. I am super grateful to have my music taken care of well by songtools! I would recommend to artists looking for a great way to get some exposure for your music.

Legit company, quality services

This company has never let me down; you pay for a consistent service of reviews and placements for your song on Spotify. Don't expect Warner to discover you, as it doesn't work that way. However, they do get your tracks into playlists that generate exposure. I recently had an issue with a campaign, and customer support resolved it, leaving me very satisfied. I'll definitely use their services again. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service

Playlister.club truly makes a difference by giving unsigned artists the chance at industry exposure, with no limits. Exposure through the community: growing industry contacts, playlist consideration, email opportunities, and free playlist curator account creation make it truly a valuable experience.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. although at first it seems like a legit promotion method the playlists it puts you on have large amounts of BOT FOLLOWERS that risk having your music taken off spotify. On top of this the curating process is terrible and your music will likely end up on a playlist for a genre it has nothing to do with. For example my EDM song in English ended up on a random Turkish pop playlist leading to many skips on the song which screws up the spotify algorithm. I highly recommend you stay away from this scammy service.

Hi Flynn,

Please note that we manually vet every curator we partner with in our A&R program, to ensure that they do not artificially increase streams or followers. We do this with various different methods, like viewing their growth data for irregular patterns, and asking them to prove how they grew their following directly with screenshots. It's a very rigorous application process that we take very seriously, to give you an idea, we reject over 50% of curators that apply. On top of that, we are always vigilant of curators that we have already accepted and do weekly check-ins to ensure they stay organic.

We are connected with you directly on email, and have sent you screenshots of all the playlists you've been featured on, demonstrating their organic growth and independent verification. It's disappointing that our efforts to show you our authenticity haven't convinced you on the truth.

In any case, we want to reassure you that we've been focused on addressing your concerns and going the extra mile to demonstrate how seriously we take playlist authenticity.

Simple submit process and good organic results

Simple submit process and good results. A lot of placements for first month. Medium size and small (1k - 100k followings)
I used this on EDM and indie rock and works nicely for both. Have used it for several tracks now.

Playlist placements are only for limited time so after about 21 days of placement your track is out of playlists, but once you accept the fact, this is a fine tool for organic streams.

Waste of money

Previously, when they did not limit playlisters to timeslots as well as genres that they want people to listen to/rate/add. The platform was awesome and very useful. It was good service for very afordable price.
But since they started using all these restrictions, it's a complete waste of money.
Yes platform very well made, with great insights and easy to use. But new business model simply don't work.
You`ll set up campaign but won't get even listens, because playlisters have to check tracks in stupid timeslots, or they have to listen just genres that platform will choose.

Hi DeDmuh,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We want to clarify that our core business model and curation system remain unchanged since our 2020 launch. The introduction of timeslots and genre organization aims to manage the growing number of curators and enhance engagement for artists. In fact, these changes have led to a record number of interactions from playlisters across our community.

If your promotion is new, it's crucial to wait a full month to assess the platform's results. Songs typically take about 10 days initially to gather data, with the majority of placements occurring towards the month's end. Hence, it's normal to see minimal engagement early on.

Let's connect directly to delve deeper into your account and ensure you have an optimal experience with us. Please reach out to: Support@SongTools.io.

Fantastic Program & Team

The Playlister Club program at SongTools is a fantastic opportunity for people to hear your music and move it to larger audiences. Although they are still developing, we have found new markets and growth that simply would not have been possible otherwise. I think they have a fantastic and communicative team, great concepts, simple-to-use functionality, and a really solid base of curators. I love the written feedback ability, transparency of which playlists added you, and even showing number of plays-per-playlist. Excited to continue with them.

Genius platform to bring together the curators and the musicians

As SSL Music we have been working with Playlister Club from the first days of the company. They have amazing support and a genius platform to bring together the curators and the musicians. The platform never stops growing with perfect updates to make it easier for both sides. Many thanks to the whole team for this beautiful idea and great work!

"I had an incredible experience with Playlister Club

"I had an incredible experience with
Playlister Club ! They specialize in organizing Spotify playlists, and I couldn't be happier with their service. I approached them with a rather challenging and non-mainstream track, not expecting much in terms of placement. However, to my surprise, they managed to get my song featured in numerous playlists. Their team's dedication and expertise are truly commendable. I'm amazed at how they were able to secure placements for my less commercial title. Playlists exceeded my expectations and proved that they have a knack for connecting music with the right audiences. If you're looking for a way to promote your tracks effectively on Spotify, I highly recommend giving
Playlister Club a try!"

I have been collaborating with the…

I have been collaborating with the "Play Lister Club" since October 2022. About a month ago, they suspended my account for reasons I believe to be unjustified and blocked the earnings I had accumulated over several months of work on the site. When I asked them for the reason, they said that they need screenshots of Discovery On and the advertisements I had made for my playlists. I provided all the requested documents, but afterward, they asked me for digital ads. This request seemed illogical to me since most of the artists on my playlist had already Discovery On. Considering the amount they charge weekly, does it seem reasonable for them to make such a request?
However, it is worth mentioning that for more than a month I sent several emails and request my money but there was no answer!
The earnings I made during my work period, which exceeds $450, were in accordance with the site's terms and conditions, but they have blocked this money, demanding that I perform digital ads for them. I am shocked that a platform that claims to be reputable could act in this way !!!
Judgment is up to you!

Great Results with Danny!

Danny was recommended by a very respected Record Executive. I am so grateful for the recommendation and the results. Looking forward to the continued growth for the project. It will definitely be the first of many.

the platform works, ONLY if your music is good...

We have used playlister.club for many releases and seen REAL results. This is the key word... REAL!

Many reviews here mention their music doesn't see streams, but remember that streams only count after someone listens 30 seconds... Maybe your music is being skipped bc it's not good? lol.

also, this is not going to give you THOUSANDS of streams on the first day like other services that just throw you on rando lists because they are playlists with actual people and not bots.

Any ways, the platform works great, it's very easy to get alot of placements that aren't going to send weird data to your profile.

Out of many services out there, this is the one I always come back to!

Hi Hustle Muscle,

We created this platform to provide artists an affordable and organic way to reach new fans, and partnering with curators who align with this mission and believe in real curation is very important to us.

If you feel that you are garnering placements in the wrong genre, feel free to reach out to us at support@songtools.io and we can help further optimize your campaign!

Short Time but Positive Experience

I have only been using Playlister Club for a few weeks, but here is what I can tell you so far.
My style is more niche than mainstream, so I find the comments from curators who take the time to review my songs very valuable. Sure, some curators are better at critiquing music than others. Some of my songs are cover songs and others are originals. When a curator evaluates either the music or lyrics negatively, they apparently have no knowledge of the song which have been some of the most popular songs of all time. However, as I said, good objective criticism is hard to come by and Playlister Club provides this.
I also like the data that is generated by Playlister Club. I find it quite helpful in order to evaluate whether my song will do well in the Playlister Club market of listeners. Some of my songs, which have done very well on Spotifier, do not not do as well through the Playlister Club network of Playlists. However, that is not unexpected for, as I indicated earlier, I have a niche style.
I am still at the phase of testing the Playlister Club system and will be moving on to its promotional offering, called SongFly.
Overall, my experience has been positive so far.

What to KNOW as an ARTIST

This app is a GREAT app... IF you made a good song. This app delivers three things (with some faulty numbers that they need to work on).

1. views and listens, shows the impressions and LIKELY listens the song was given through the site.
2. Reviews, allows playlist curators (and maybe others?) to review your music and give you (mostly) constructive criticism. I have had my fair share of nasty reviews and so will you, but don't pay much attention to them.
3. The most important (maybe)... playlist spots for a certain amount of days.

Let's go through all three:

For views/impressions. The reason why I say this is faulty is because I had a song slightly blow up on the site, gaining a traction of .2 million (200,000) views. On top of that, it said I had over 100 listens. Though neither my monthly listener count nor stream count reflected it at all. I am not saying they are flat out trying to lie to you, It could be that playlister club uses a webhook to show the song and it doesn't count as a stream as it wasn't directly listened on spotify.

Reviews: My reviews are usually split 65/35. 65% of the time are genuinely positive reviews, with maybe a quarter of them being constructive and the rest just calling it great/well made. 35% though are people who have said things like "I don't get why this track is hyped, it has whiny vocals and poorly mixed" (that actually was said). It is nice though to get impressions regardless to see that the site is actively promoting your content.

Placements: Placements ARE real, I don't know if you get placed for the total amount of time it says you do or if the curator might delete your spot earlier (though have not seen that happen yet), BUT a lot of these playlists take place with viewers all over the world, so have fun trying to get a fanbase more local through the site. Also not nearly as many streams would come from a placement as you would hope.

Pay extra to win... On top of spending $48 ish dollars for a month (30 days) of having your song promoted to music enjoyers and spotify curators (which if you haven't figured it out, it is made for spotify placed songs). you can spend an additional $50 or even $100 for a singular week to have your song boosted. I just came out with my 3rd song ever which I am very proud of and have put down for $100 for a week, have already seen more progress (via site stats, NOT spotify stats yet) in 3 HOURS than I did for a singular month for a song. It is definitely worth the extra funds if again, you made a song you think will do well and has a chance to blow up.

Is this site worth it? Yes and no... It is worth it if you have the money, the confidence, the genuinely well produced and great sounding song, and you are sstill undiscovered/have not blown up yet.

This site is made specifically (from what I can gather so far) for undiscovered artists who have under... say, 10,000 monthly listeners. I cannot promise that this will work for you the same way it did for me, maybe it'll work better or worse. Though I can honestly say that from what I can see, it is not a scam, Is 15 playlist spots for averaging 21 days each worth $48? or is blowing that out of proportion worth $148? Maybe, maybe not. It comes down to perspective.

I hope this review/rate of my experience helps people find what they want and go to where they need to go.

This is not a good site for playlist…

this is not a good site for playlist curators to interact with support

Hello
I am a Spotify curator for more than a year now, and I have been working with Playlister.club, but now my account is suspended for no reason. I am on other websites like Groover without a problem.

The main complaint is that they request some information about your Spotify playlist activities, I provided it on the same day it was requested by mail and have had no response from their end for almost a month, I have sent loads of different reminder mail so it seems that they just don't want to respond to the curator on the platform.

If you are a Spotify curator don't use this platform, they will accept you and after some time they will ban you for no reason as I said before I am also on other important websites as a playlists curator and never had a problem.

Their support department is a joke you will never get an answer about why your account is suspended.

i need help ..
