Comparison
Inflyte vs Haulix
Inflyte is built for electronic music DJs. Haulix is built for press and radio publicists. Almost completely different audiences - here's how to tell which one (or neither) fits you.
TL;DR
Inflyte is the electronic music DJ standard, with a mobile app, Rekordbox integration and automatic playlist tracking. Haulix is the US press and radio incumbent, with built-in watermarking and publicist-grade workflows. They barely compete for the same customer. If you're trying to decide between them, you probably haven't locked in your use case yet - worth considering Promoly as a third option that handles both DJ and press workflows at £10/month.

Who each one is for
Pick Inflyte if...
Inflyte is the obvious pick for electronic music labels focused on DJ promo, especially if your DJs use Rekordbox and you want playlist/radio tracking built in.
Pick Haulix if...
Haulix is the obvious pick for music publicists pitching to press, radio and US media - especially when watermarked advance copies and media engagement metrics matter.
Pick Promoly if...
Promoly fits indie labels, artists, and smaller publicists who do both kinds of promo (DJs and press) and want to keep the bill reasonable. Also covers anyone who wants smartlinks and pre-saves bundled in.
Worth knowing
Promoly - cheaper, covers both jobs
If your promo workflow is split between DJs and press, you'd otherwise need both Inflyte and Haulix - £40+/mo plus $22+/mo, minimum, and possibly much more at scale. Promoly handles both audiences in one tool starting at £10/mo. You lose Inflyte's mobile DJ app and Haulix's watermarking - but you gain smartlinks, pre-saves, and a single contact system that spans DJs, press, and radio. For most indie labels and smaller publicists, that trade makes sense.
