Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.I tried a service like this for the first time and was genuinely impressed by the value for $120. My track landed on 8 Spotify playlists, and the streams jumped significantly in just two weeks. Their support is also great!
Hi Mark - thank you for sharing your positive experience. We are happy to hear the promotion delivered great results for you! Best, Team Apolone
I bought a music promo package and the website said the service was down. I contacted their customer service and they told me to be patient. After another week I demanded my money back and thank goodness they did refund it. I think Apolone might be a huge scam.
Hi Angela - We are a legitimate company and have successfully run a large number of campaigns since our launch. The recent campaign pause was due to system maintenance, which took longer than expected because of the complexity of our software. We understand this may have been a frustrating experience; however, maintenance is an essential part of ensuring a reliable and secure platform for all users. All relevant information was communicated clearly and in a timely manner, and your charge has been refunded as requested. Best, Team Apolone
I paid for a campaign for a jungle song and they put it in a playlist with a bunch of country songs. Jungle is a Jamaican electronic genre that came from UK Garage and Drum & Bass. My song did not fit in with any of the country songs they had me in a playlist with, so I didn’t really get any saves. It was disappointing. Their ai isn’t very good and honestly them using ai at all is very corny.
Hi there, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the kind of outcome we want for any artist. Could you please contact us at: [email protected] - so we can resolve this quickly and set up a new, carefully vetted campaign for you.
Had a conversation where I expressed my concerns and got real and honest feedback that was truly productive. Great customer service. Plain and simple. Went above and beyond my expectations for simply asking for an opinion about our music and what might work best in terms genres. Like, they actually listened to our music and gave an insightful opinion.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad our feedback was helpful and that we could exceed your expectations.
Where to begin? Your service is fundamentally broken, which you admit to a customer(?), and then you send me an obvious LLM output that fundamentally mismatches essential elements of my artist journey such as the wrong timeline, wrong essential details, misquotes things I said, and other elements of the deliberately handwritten canned story I practically wrote for you, knowing that your service is primarily a tech company, not a journalism service. You didn't even bother to replace the full dashes with hyphens or make sure the text would pass an AI generated text checker service. Gross negligence at its finest is on display. Pathetic is not a strong enough word.
Hi, we’re sorry to hear that the service did not meet your expectations. We have successfully run tens of thousands of campaigns and produced hundreds of press releases with a high satisfaction rate from our clients. The current pause in campaign reviews is a result of ongoing system maintenance, not a service failure. This temporary interruption is a necessary step to ensure a more stable and reliable user experience moving forward. All elements of the press release can be revised or adjusted based on customer feedback at any time. As requested, a full refund has already been processed, which concludes any further service or obligations on our end. Best, Team Apolone
I was reasonably happy(read the end of my comment, it didn’t last) with the streaming increase then their website went down. Keeps saying 12 hrs, it’s been down for days. I think if they want to convey a professional reputation then the website should not be down for so long. After all, the website allows the customer to monitor the service they are getting. After about a month. All the playlists you were added to will remove your songs and your streams will be back to where they were before the Apolone service. Also the legitimacy of the playlist are suspect, with the top listener cities were Lagos in Nigeria and also a city in India.
Hi Frank - We’re currently performing system maintenance, and as a result, the artist portal is temporarily unavailable. Once the maintenance is complete, you’ll be able to log in to your artist dashboard as usual. The maintenance process is a standard procedure in any company designed to keep all systems running smoothly and ensure a safer, more reliable customer experience. All ongoing campaigns remain unaffected by the current maintenance. Best, Team Apolone
Honestly expected more. Waited 30 days to give them a chance before writing this review. Paid their $39.99 and their promise to get listed, and promoted fell very short. I got listed on a whopping 2 playlists on Spotify that weren’t even in the same genre and 0 zero new followers, interactions or even a follow up report. Wouldn’t use them again
Hi Eric - We are sorry to hear that the promotion did not work for you. Please reach out to our support team so we can provide solutions as our goal is to support your music and boost your numbers. Best, Team Apolone
BEWARE! They say you get organic streams but according to Spotify they’re using bots and artificial streams. See the email I just received below from the distributer. Now I’m getting fined and my release may get taken down. I guess you live and learn. Stay away from this company! “Spotify have reported artificial streaming activity on track(s) distributed through your Amuse account. When Spotify detect and verify streams as artificial, they withhold royalties for those streams and apply a fine to the label or distributor. This is usually the result of using promotional services that utilizes bot streaming or illegitimate practices to guarantee playlist placements and streams. The following track ISRCs are affected: SE6XY2297872 As a result of Spotify's fine, 10 USD has been deducted from your Amuse Wallet balance from the royalty period 2025-08-01. This will also be visible on your royalty statement. Please note that the fine cannot be contested by the affected artist nor Amuse, in accordance with Spotify's Terms of use.”
We’re really sorry to hear about this situation. Please contact us directly at: [email protected] so we can review the details and assist you regarding the potential artificial streams. We want to make sure everything is clarified and help you resolve any issues.
For their website you only get paid when you hit $50, when I hit $40 after months of helping them they banned my account. Never paid me my $40. Just a scam website.
Your actions have breached our terms of service, which exist to safeguard artists and guarantee fair, organic promotion. We uphold our decision and handle these situations seriously to ensure transparency and integrity across our platform. If you still feel that something was handled unfairly, please reach out to us at: [email protected]
Yes.. they rock
Thank you! Thrilled you loved our service!
I’m an old school artist that still likes to write music and put it together. I’ve looked at several other places to launch my campaign. I’ve seen some great results in just two weeks.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad to hear you’re seeing great results already. Keep creating, we’re excited to see your music grow!
After nearly 20 days, I still have not received a single play. I've complained, and they told me to just keep waiting. Well we're pushing a month, and I haven't gotten anything out of it. So far, it's been a complete and total waste of time and money. If they don't want to appear to be a scam, then they need to follow through with what's called the customer service. In response, I have to say that you had the opportunity to make it right while I still was a customer and after the fact this is just putting a Band-Aid on it. If you'd like you could reach out to me directly and we can have a conversation about it, otherwise you're just pandering.
Hi, We are sorry that the promotion did not yield the expected results for you. After reviewing the communication records, our team had offered to fully rerun your campaign with an even larger campaign size than your original purchase. However, this offer was declined on your end, and as a result, a full refund was processed back to your account as per your request. We were fully open to finding a fair solution for your promotion, but since the proposed option was declined, the refund concluded the matter in full and any subsequent negative review is unfortunately unjustified. Nevertheless we wish you much success in your music career moving forward. Best, Team Apolone
Apolone has truly impressed me, and rises to the top of the music promotion world. I state this from personal experience as a struggling recording artist trying to get heard in a ocean of competition! Their music analysis and playlist matching system is a game winner for artists looking to "organically" target their audience. Additionally, their communication with me has always been quick, personal, and professional, something I highly value and expect. Give them a shot, they'll do everything they can do to promote your music and career. Roddan
Thank you so much, Roddan! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the results and support.
As a curator, they helped me add 2,500 songs in two months, working consistently. Then, when I requested payment for the work done, they blocked my profile for unusual accounts (WE DO NOT USE BOTS FOR OUR PLAYLISTS). Just a ploy to avoid paying the curators. I'm taking legal action. €3,000 and two months of work wasted. Their response is that I violated the terms of service, even though I sent them all the screenshots of my playlist statistics. The only way to avoid paying the curators is to tell them they violated the terms. Open your eyes, don't work with them if you don't want to work for free.
You have violated our terms of service, which are designed to protect artists and ensure fair, organic promotion. We stand by our resolution and take these matters seriously to maintain transparency and integrity within our network.
Apolone Music Company delivered exactly what they promised: real streams, solid pitching, and great visibility for my track. The process was smooth, transparent, and professional from start to finish. Highly recommended for artists looking to grow their presence on Spotify!
Thank You, Musa! Thrilled you loved our Spotify campaigns.
What a home run! I was hoping for 500 streams for a small one-month campaign. And after only 13 days I already have over 1000 streams with 17 days still remaining on the campaign. Sooo… wow!!
Thank you Steve! Thrilled you loved our service.
Apolone.com is legitimate and they had a digital article with a really catchy headline written up on one of my music releases fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the playlists that they use aren't very legitimate. In one month, I had a significant spike in listeners in streams, which is a red flag to most distributors. The playlists that my song was added to were removed two months after the campaign which signifies irregular streams or manipulated streaming. This is a big red flag to distributors. So if you want your music to stay on Spotify during the time that they are policing independent artists and playlists, try to avoid Apolone. It would NOT be a good investment for the headache you may receive fighting with your distributor to keep your music on their platform.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We take feedback like this very seriously. We’d love the chance to resolve any issues quickly. Please send us an email at [email protected] so we can look into this and make things right.
Jaxon from Apolone worked directly with me to assist with playlist pitching for my band's debut single, as well as putting together a PR article highlighting the new single. He answered any questions I had through the process without delay, from beginning to end, and our listeners and streams grew on Spotify. I highly recommend Apolone to aid in pitching your next song or album!
Appreciate the shoutout! Excited to see your streams and listeners keep growing!
I’ll admit I was skeptical at first, as this was my very first EP, and I had no idea how to market it. But within just one month of working with Apolone, my release Celestial Apexion’s Ascension reached nearly 85,000 streams, and it’s still climbing. Huge thanks to Jaxon and the team for delivering results. Of course, there’s no guarantee you’ll land on a playlist, but what I can say is this: if you have a strong track, Apolone gives it the best possible chance to succeed
Thanks for sharing! So glad to see your song reaching new listeners, huge congrats on the streams!
Jaxon Anderson was professional, patient and friendly. Moreover, easy to communicate with and got the job done!
Thank you! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed our service and support.
