How we collected these prices
Every number comes from the company’s own pricing page or help center, linked in the Source column. Introductory discounts are noted where the page shows them. Currency conversions are approximate. Where a page didn’t list a price (for example monthly billing on artist.tools) we say so rather than estimate. If a price has changed, email support@playlistscout.app and we’ll re-check it.
Questions
- How much does Spotify playlist promotion cost in 2026?
- It depends on the model. Curator contact finders are subscriptions from $6.99/month (PlaylistScout) to $24.99/month (PlaylistSupply Basic); artist.tools is $99/year. Credit platforms charge per curator: about $0.80–$5 per curator on SubmitHub and €2 per curator on Groover. Managed campaigns such as PlaylistPush start at $280.
- What is the cheapest way to pitch 50 Spotify playlist curators?
- Using a contact finder and emailing curators yourself: about $6.99 for one month of PlaylistScout Pro, or $19.99 for the first month of PlaylistSupply Basic. Pay-per-curator platforms cost roughly $40–$250 on SubmitHub and about €100 on Groover for 50 curators, but they guarantee a listen.
- What is the difference between a curator finder and a submission platform?
- A finder (PlaylistScout, PlaylistSupply, artist.tools) gives you the curator's own email or Instagram so you pitch them directly and keep the contact for future releases, with no guarantee of a reply. A submission platform (SubmitHub, Groover, Daily Playlists, Musosoup, PlaylistPush) charges per curator or per campaign and guarantees the curator listens, but you pitch inside their platform.
- Does PlaylistSupply have a free trial?
- No. As of October 14, 2026 its pricing page says it does not offer a free trial; the Basic plan is $19.99 for the first month, then $24.99/month.
