Best Groover Alternative: Direct Outreach vs 2€ Per Pitch
Groover is a well-known music promotion marketplace based in Europe that connects artists with curators and media outlets. However, paying 2 Grooviz (approx. €2 or $2.20) for every single submission with an 85% rejection rate adds up quickly. Here is why independent artists are shifting to direct curator outreach.
The Math: Groover vs PlaylistScout
Pitching 50 Spotify curators on Groover costs approximately €100 to €120+ per release. When the campaign ends, you don't keep a single curator email. With PlaylistScout, you pay a flat $6.99 for that month, unlock unlimited curator contacts, and keep those emails in your personal rolodex forever.
