We help musicians connect with curators. Our goal is to make it transparent and easy, but we can't promise guaranteed success. Curators are picky and often to the point. The space is highly competitive and you need to have tough skin.

Reviewers had a great experience with this company.

Consumers deeply appreciate connecting with genuine curators who provide honest, detailed insights and meaningful feedback to actively support long-term musical growth and success.

Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.I've had a positive experience with SubmitHub. To get good results, it's important to choose the curators carefully and make sure they're a good fit for your music. At first, it wasn't easy, but the feedback I received was incredibly valuable and helped me improve my music a lot. Looking back, that learning process was definitely worth it. Thanks, SubmitHub!
Submithub helped to grow my Spotify from zero to 100k monthly streams and it keeps growing. Playlist placement gives a great algorithmic push to the tracks. Pick curators carefully, read what they don't like, adapt your sound a little bit and it will work.
Absolutely terrible experience with this service. In terms of ease of use, no faults there, its relatively simple to pick and choose curators to send songs to their playlists for consideration. Obviously I fully understand that these are their playlists & they are entitled to pick & choose what tracks they want. However, I can literally send my song to over 40 different playlists & get perhaps one acceptance, maybe a shoutout. However if I send the same track on daily playlists, I might get 5 rejections out of 40 with the rest all adding my track. I got so sick of wasting money on submithub that I just deleted my account even though I still had some submits pending. One of my tracks is currently #45 on the American radio Mediabase charts based on radio airplay & yet every single submit hub person came back with feedback, criticizing the song, the production, the vocals, even though its real human singers, i hired a real producer, I 100% wrote every word of the song. Its resonating strongly on radio & yet for these people who I'm sorry have developed god like egotistical personas. So happy to be rid of this service, never again!
Hi Matthew, sorry to hear about your experience. While the site-wide approval rate is 30%, not everyone gets the same results. It's possible your genre targeting was off? Feel free to reach out to our support team and we can take a look.
SubmitHub offers the opportunity for lesser-known bands, which is quite rare.
Good knowledgeable support team, highly responsive and kind- but my experience of the curation side is: lazy, contradictory and not worth your money The SubmitHub support team are polite, responsive and helpful — no complaints there at all. But the curation experience is extremely disappointing and feels like a total waste of credits. I submitted work to two different curators, and both treated it the same way: - The first stopped listening after just 1 minute 31 seconds, sending a reply that was completely contradictory: “I like the concept… it sounds captivating and has a fresh vibe — sadly the vocals didn’t captivate us”. So it’s “captivating” and “not captivating” at the same time? Clearly just generic copy-paste lines. - The second started skipping around randomly after only 14 seconds, never played the track through properly, and only reached 1 minute 38 seconds total. Crucially, they are not listening with the intent of discovery. They don’t give music time to build or show its full character — it’s just a quick scan before moving on. This is a volume operation: take your credits, spend barely 90 seconds clicking around, and send a template response. Let’s be clear: independent artists and songwriters are not a bottomless pit of cash. We invest everything we have into our work just to find our audience. My advice to anyone reading this: save your money, build your own playlists, and organically find your audience. You’ll get far more respect and real engagement from listeners who actually care, than from services that treat your work like a number.
absoluetly worth the - relatively small - investment of around a hundret, that dollar I have spend in the last couple of months on this plattform. the hot or not comments are often helpful, especially when you add specific questions on the variables of your own choice ( like how to improve the mix or how are the vocals etc). Very good experience! you can earn coins and spend no money at all too, btw. just listen and rate music of genres you can chose.
Really cool marketplace. Lots of consistent improvements by owner of the platform. Decent ROI as a customer.
Submithubs website has a lot of useful tools for artists, free ones at that. Popularity score checker is useful for monitoring your songs progress. There is an ai song tool checker for curators to weed out the garbage. Their free landing page and meta pixel setup is excellent and at no cost at all. They quality check the curators playlists on their to prevent your song getting botted. The lady from customer service is nice and helpful as well.
Submitted my debut melodic house track and got genuine feedback from curators within days. One curator added it to their Spotify playlist — exactly what I was looking for. Rejections also came with constructive comments about the mix, which is valuable on its own. The credit system is fair and transparent. Recommended for serious independent artists who want real human feedback, not bots.
Quick and responsive, polite and helpful!
I emailed them with a question I had, and they got back to me super fast. They're really friendly, and it's honestly refreshing to have direct contact with the people who actually built the platform. That's pretty unusual these days, and I genuinely like that.
Horrible experince with SubmitHub! Totally waste of money, you pay to increase view on your spority artist page and are meet with curators who have no skill in music to "validate" if they going to share it or not. They all seems to decline the share. I want to post one of the feedback from the "Gaxve". "Usually like chill songs but have to be like kinda fast". Chill songs are slowspeed, this curators have no skill in music production and genre, and yet clearly are in the position to judge something that you allready payed for to spread out. In been an music artist for over 30 years and i never seen such bad compitence. Sty away dont waste your money.. very unprofessional
I recognize this was frustrating for you, but taking feedback out of context might not be the best approach. Full feedback for disclosure: "Not really for my playlist, I Focus more on fast amen Breaks and chaos. Usually like chill songs but have to be like kinda fast. This one is not bad tho, sorry but it's just a fit for it. Keep It up" There are fast chill songs. It sounds contradictory, but it's real. For example, Liquid Drum and Base, and as mentioned by the curator, Amen Breaks. Both are pretty chill forms of a normally energetic genre.
It's a good way to access curators, but the cost per submission is too high given that the impact of curators is ranges from completely worthwhile to totally useless
Great interactive music marketing platform!
Best playlist submission site on the planet. Awesome lists with real impact. Customer service second to none. Make their competitors like look amateurs
I've had a bug when I was triying to create a Meta Ad through SubmitHub packages and Jason solved the error really quick! Thanks!
SubmitHub is a fantastic way for me to consistently get my music playlisted! Personally, I focus on Spotify, but inclusions on other platforms are also welcome. Feedback is honest and fairly mixed—some tracks blow up, others fizzle out. That's fair! I get so much more ROI on SubmitHub than ads, for example.
Jason here. Can you email a screenshot of this UI part to [email protected] and I'll see if I can clean it up a bit?
Promote to playlisters? I tried it with 30 dollars. All said good song yada tada. DECLINED. The song Halfway to the Highground has 50 000 streams in 2 months with use of meta ads. Stay away from submithub is my advice. Update: Submithub reached out to try to help with some extra credits. Got 2 hits with no big stream activity. Thanks for the support. The rest said the same, good song yadata but nahh no thanks. (Looks like copy and paste) The song has now gotten a commercial deal and one deal on a short movie, so I guess u can do it without the playlisters. I think the majority of them just cashes in on ur credits and not even listens to ur song.
Hey, thanks for your feedback, and congrats on your success. I see you sent to 5 curators, with one still pending for 20 credits. I worry perhaps you chose the wrong genres here - I'll reach out with some tips.
Submithub is "for the people(artist)" it's really built around providing artists with the best experience possible. Promotions is tough business and it's clear to me they are making sacrifices to make sure they remain a artist centric platform.
Updated this review as I need to say the platform and its team in particular Jason are amazing and very emotionally intelligent- in that they actually want independent artists to win. Some curators on the platform appear to be gatekeeping ??!! However Jason is right if you pick the ones with 30 per cent or higher or for 1 or 2 credits they do tend to share. I am a Songwriter who uses Ai vocals so that may be coming into play. My human vocals are 😖 😱 😨 I know one curator on SubmitHub kept my song on their playlist for about five weeks- I think I got a few hundred streams as a result. I also forgot to say you can sleep easy with SubmitHub knowing they are bot free - very few platforms achieve this. SubmitHub is great platform for connecting with other artists with great features such as: Hot or Not and the Ai genre identifier. My recent curator experience was terrible and an absolute waste of money but I went for the ones with thousandsof followers. . Pitched Honey Hunter in Zara to 5 playlists on the 17 of May
Glad to hear you've gotten some value out of it. The curator side has an average approval rate of 30% - and you can see each curator's recent shares easily.
