An honest side-by-side of the four major Spotify playlist submission services. We're one of them, so read with that in mind — but the data below is researchable on each service's own pricing page. Updated April 2026.

| Refund / unheard tracks | Refund if not heard in 72hr | Credits returned if unheard | Refund unheard after 7d | Varies by package |
Each service does something different well. Pick by what matters to you.
If you make afro house or deep house, this is built for you. One curator, one taste, every track heard in full inside 72 hours with written feedback. Cheapest entry point at €5.
Trade-off: only one curator, only two genres. If you make pop or hip-hop, look elsewhere.
The original marketplace. Massive curator pool across every genre and territory. Credit packs make it cost-flexible — you can spend $20 or $200.
Trade-off: curator quality varies wildly. Some open-then-decline in 20 seconds. Read curator profiles carefully.
Every curator must reply within 7 days with written feedback or refund the artist. Stricter quality control than SubmitHub. European-leaning curator pool.
Trade-off: per-curator pricing means a 30-curator broadcast can run €30–€60. Slower 7-day window.
More of a campaign service than a per-curator marketplace. You set a budget, they route to curators. Hands-off if you don't want to pick.
Trade-off: higher minimum spend ($50+ typical). Less control over which curators see the track.
Submit one track to Rapture for €5. Curator listens in full within 72 hours, replies with feedback. Worst case you get an honest read on your track.
