PlaylistSupply alternatives (2026)

Is there a free PlaylistSupply alternative?

PlaylistSupply has no free plan or trial. PlaylistMap gives you 3 curator-contact unlocks with no card, and one unlock opens every playlist that curator runs. artist.tools has a free plan with basic bot checks and 7 days of history, but contacts need its $15-a-month plan. Outside the contact-database model, Daily Playlists offers 10 free standard submissions a week and SubmitHub two standard credits every four hours (never more than two at a time), both without a response promise and without giving you the curator's contact.

Which alternative also has unlimited contacts?

artist.tools: unlimited curator contacts on its $15-a-month Artist plan ($99 a year), with 158K+ contacts listed (self-reported). PlaylistMap works differently: credits buy unlocks ($9.99 a month for 20, $19.99 for 100), each unlock covers every playlist a curator runs, and you keep the contact. If you need hundreds of new contacts every month, a flat unlimited plan can cost less per contact; if you pitch a vetted shortlist per release, credits can cost less overall.

Which alternatives check playlists for bots or quality before I pitch?

artist.tools shows playlist history, listener data and bot alerts, and its free plan includes basic bot checks. PlaylistMap shows follower counts, freshness and an integrity score for each playlist before you unlock, plus a free bot checker. PlaylistSupply's PlaylistVet check is on its Viral plan ($34.99) and up. Among the brokers, SubmitHub shows its public curator list with each curator's credit cost and describes its playlisters as quality-checked; Daily Playlists lists its marketplace playlists and says it vets premium curators on engagement, impact, branding and growth; Playlist Push calls its playlists verified but withholds their names before a campaign (all three descriptions self-reported); SoundCampaign's system selects the curators, and its pricing page shows estimated curator submissions for a chosen budget (actual results vary).

Do I still have to write and send the emails myself?

With a contact database you control and send the outreach, and the tooling varies: PlaylistSupply offers 1-click pitching from Gmail; PlaylistMap drafts a pitch for each curator with AI and you send it from your own email; artist.tools gives you the contacts and a CSV export. If you would rather not cold-email, the brokers deliver the track for you inside their platforms: SubmitHub (from $1 a credit, premium submissions with a 72-hour response rule), Groover (2 Grooviz per standard contact, more for top-tier, labelled €2 or $2 depending on the page, feedback within 7 days or Grooviz back), Daily Playlists (free submissions, or premium credits with a 7-day response rule), and the managed campaigns Playlist Push (from $280) and SoundCampaign (budget you set; confirm its current minimum).

Can any of them guarantee a playlist placement?

No. The contact databases, PlaylistSupply included, sell contact access, not placements, and the five brokers disclaim placements. Spotify says services that claim to offer guaranteed playlist placement for money violate its terms, and they shouldn't be used.

Who publishes this page?
