Curator finder + playlist health check
Find the curator. Check the playlist. Pitch tonight.
PlaylistScout searches Spotify by genre, mood or a similar artist, pulls the email or Instagram each curator left in their description, checks the playlist for bought followers and dead activity, and drafts the pitch, all in one place.
- Genre, mood & similar-artist search
- Curator emails & Instagram
- Bot & activity health check
- Pitch from your own email
Animated example: playlists scroll by with health scores, and one opens to show the curator’s email, Instagram, followers and track count. Sample data.
Step 1 · Find
Every curator who asked to be pitched.
One search reads hundreds of playlist descriptions and hands back the ones with a way in.
Search a sound or an artist
Type a genre, a mood, or an artist you sound like. Similar-artist search only returns playlists that actually have that artist in the tracklist.
Read every description
Up to 1,000 playlists a search. Emails and Instagram handles are pulled out, even ones written as “name [at] gmail [dot] com”.
One ranked list
Results come back scored on reach, activity and momentum, with when the curator last added a track.
Step 2 · Check
A contact isn’t enough. Make sure the playlist is real.
Bought followers and abandoned playlists can hurt a release. Know before you send the pitch.
Only pitchable playlists
Filter to playlists with an email or Instagram you can use, and hide the ones that haven’t added a track in 30 days.
Spot bought followers
Sudden follower jumps, 1,000-track dump playlists and curators who went quiet a year ago get flagged, with the reason.
Safe, Check or Avoid
Every playlist gets a plain verdict before you spend a pitch on it.
Try the free checker →“melodic techno” · 500 playlists scanned · 61 contacts
12.4sIllustrative rows. Real results show the live description each contact came from and the artists the playlist already features.
Everything after the search
Finding the email is step one. The rest of the workspace is for turning it into a placement.
Lists
Save leads into folders per release, campaign, or client. A lead can live in several. Export a list on its own.
Follower trends
Every saved playlist gets a follower snapshot daily. See who's growing before you spend a pitch on them.
Freshness signal
“Updated 2d ago” next to each result — when the curator last added a track. Skip the ones that went quiet in 2023.
Outreach writer
Three pitch styles that name the artists already in that playlist. Opens in Gmail or your mail app; marks the lead contacted.
CSV & Excel export
Every column — contact, followers, featured artists, list, status, notes. Filtered or all at once.
Instagram search
Curators who only take DMs. Handles pulled from descriptions the same way, with the usual false-positive filtering.
Built for one release, priced like it
Most artists need a curator list for about a month — the weeks around a drop. Other tools charge $25–50 a month and meter your pitches with “credits”. PlaylistScout is $6.99 for that month, nothing is metered, and cancelling is two clicks.

Questions people ask before they sign up
- Where do the emails come from?
- Only from the playlist’s own public description on Spotify. If a curator wrote “send submissions to…”, we find it. We never guess emails or buy lists.
- Is this allowed?
- We read public data through Spotify’s official Web API. Curators put their contact there because they want submissions. You’re still responsible for pitching politely and following anti-spam law where you live.
- Should I pay monthly or yearly?
- Monthly ($6.99) if you only need it for the month around one release: cancel when you’re done. Yearly ($40, about $3.33 a month) if you release more than a few times a year. Label & Agency is $9.99 a month or $60 a year for up to 10 artists.
- How do I cancel?
- Billing → Cancel plan → Cancel subscription. Two clicks from the Billing page, and you keep access until the end of what you paid for. No email, no chat, no phone call.
- How is this different from the Chrome extension?
- Same finder, but your leads sync to an account instead of one browser, searches run on our servers (faster, bigger), and you get export, analytics, and the outreach writer.
- Do I need a Spotify account?
- No. Searching uses PlaylistScout’s own access to the public API.
