About PlaylistFeed

What is PlaylistFeed?

PlaylistFeed is a pitching platform for independent artists. You browse a directory of verified Spotify playlist curators, find the ones that match your sound, write a pitch for each one, and send it. Every pitch is tracked in your account so you can see what happened to it.

It is a subscription, not a credit system. One price covers unlimited pitching for as long as your plan is active.

Who is PlaylistFeed for?

Independent artists releasing their own music, and the managers, labels and marketers working with them. If you are putting out a song and want it heard by curators who run playlists in your genre, the platform is built for that.

Do you guarantee playlist placements?

No, and you should be careful with any service that does. Curators decide what goes on their own playlists. What PlaylistFeed guarantees is that your pitch reaches a working inbox belonging to a verified curator. What happens after that is their call.

Replies are not guaranteed either. Some curators answer quickly, some answer late, and some never answer at all.

Do I have to pay curators for a placement?

No. You never pay a curator for a placement through PlaylistFeed, and paying for placement is against Spotify policy. Your subscription pays for access to the platform, nothing else.

Is PlaylistFeed affiliated with Spotify?

No. PlaylistFeed operates independently and is not endorsed by or connected to Spotify or any other streaming service. Playlist information comes from public sources and official embed tools.

How is this different from credit based pitching sites?

On a credit platform you pay for each submission, whether or not the curator responds, so the cost climbs with every pitch you send. PlaylistFeed charges one flat rate and does not meter your pitches.

You also get the curator contact details, so the relationship does not disappear when your campaign ends.

Pricing and billing

How much does PlaylistFeed cost?

There is one plan with every feature included. You choose how long you want to commit for, and the longer the term, the lower the rate.

12 months$12.99 per month, billed $155.88 Save 35%
6 months$14.99 per month, billed $89.94 Save 25%
3 months$16.99 per month, billed $50.97 Save 15%
1 month$19.99 per month, billed monthly
What is the difference between the four terms?

Only the rate and how often you are billed. Every term unlocks the identical product, with unlimited pitching and every feature. Nothing is held back on the shorter terms.

Do the plans renew automatically?

Yes. Each term is a subscription that renews at the end of its cycle unless you cancel. The 12 month plan renews every 12 months, the 6 month plan every 6 months, and so on. Nothing is a one time purchase.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account at any point before your renewal date and you will not be billed again. You keep full access until the end of the term you already paid for.

Can I switch to a different term?

Yes. Email support@playlistfeed.com and we will move you at your next renewal so you are never charged twice for the same period.

What payment methods do you accept?

Checkout runs through Stripe, which accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Link, along with the other payment methods Stripe supports in your country. PlaylistFeed never sees or stores your card details.

Will my price go up later?

The rate you subscribe at is the rate you keep while your subscription stays active and uninterrupted. If prices change, existing subscribers stay on the price they signed up at.

Pitching and tracking

How many pitches do I get?

Unlimited, on every term. There are no credits, no daily caps and no per pitch fees. Pitch as many curators as genuinely fit your song, across as many releases as you want.

How do I find the right curators for my song?

Paste your Spotify link and PlaylistFeed matches your track against the full directory, then ranks curators by fit rather than by playlist size. You can also search and filter the directory yourself by genre and subgenre across 90 plus genres.

Does PlaylistFeed write the pitch for me?

It writes a first draft for you. Each draft names the curator’s playlist, explains why your song fits it and includes your streaming link. You set the tone and the language, edit any line you want, and send it when it reads like you.

You can save a version you like as a template and reuse it on your next release.

Do I get the curator’s email address?

Yes. Verified curator contact addresses are included, and every address is tested before the listing goes live so your pitch reaches an inbox that accepts mail.

How do I know what happened to a pitch?

Every pitch is logged against the release it belongs to, and you can see whether it was delivered, opened, replied to and added. Curator replies land in the same place, so nothing gets lost in a personal inbox.

Can I manage more than one song at a time?

Yes. You can run several songs and releases in the same account and keep the pitch history separate for each one.

How long does it take to hear back?

It varies. Some curators reply within a day, others take a few weeks, and some never reply. That is why unlimited pitching matters more than any single send. Pitch broadly across curators who genuinely fit, and treat every reply as a bonus rather than the plan.

When should I start pitching a release?

Two to four weeks before release day gives curators time to plan, and it lets you keep pitching through release week and after. Tracks that are already live can be pitched too, so an older song is not a wasted opportunity.

The curator directory

How many curators are in the directory?

Over 1,400 verified curators across 90 plus genres, with a combined reach of more than 40 million followers.

How do you verify a playlist before listing it?

Every listing is reviewed by a person before it reaches your screen. The checks are:

  • Reviewed by hand. No listing goes live automatically.
  • Active in the last 3 months. Dormant playlists come off the directory.
  • The contact address delivers. Emails are tested so a pitch reaches a real inbox.
  • Follower patterns screened. Listings with bot shaped engagement are removed at review.
  • Linked to a real curator. Each playlist is tied to the person who runs it.
Are the curators real people?

Yes. Every listing is connected to the person who manages that playlist, and that link is checked at review rather than taken on trust.

What if a listing looks wrong or out of date?

Send it to support@playlistfeed.com with the playlist name. Listings that fail a recheck are pulled from the directory.

For curators

Can I list my playlist on PlaylistFeed?

Yes. Apply through the Become a Curator page. Your playlist goes through the same review as every other listing, so it needs recent activity, a working contact address and organic looking followers.

How do curators earn?

Curators earn for each qualifying review they complete. Payment is for the listening time and the response, never for adding a track, and adding a song is always the curator’s own decision.

Do curators have to add every track they receive?

No. A decline is a legitimate outcome and curators are never pressured toward a yes. A playlist only keeps its audience if the curator protects what goes on it.

Account and data

Do I need an account to browse the directory?

Yes. You can create an account with an email address or with Google to view playlist details. Signing up also opts you into occasional emails from PlaylistFeed, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.

What data do you collect?

Your name and email, payment information processed by Stripe, basic usage data, and the content you submit through the platform. PlaylistFeed does not sell personal data. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my account?

Email support@playlistfeed.com from your account address. Requests are processed within 30 days and deletion is permanent. Some records are retained where the law requires it.

Where is PlaylistFeed based?

PlaylistFeed operates out of Quebec, Canada, and works with artists and curators worldwide.

Support

Something is not working. What do I do?

Email support@playlistfeed.com with your account email and a screenshot if you have one. Support is included on every plan.

My pitch did not reach the curator. What now?

Send us the pitch and the curator name. Delivery is on us, so if a message failed to reach a listed address we will investigate the listing and fix or remove it.

Do you offer help with strategy, not just the tool?

The Help Center covers how to pick curators, what a strong pitch looks like and how to plan a release. If you are stuck on something specific, email support and a person will answer.

Still have a question?
