What is Playlist Push?
Playlist Push is a managed playlist pitching service. You submit a track, and they pitch it to vetted Spotify curators using AI matching. Campaigns cost between $250 and $1,000+, with an average around $450. You don't choose which curators hear your music. Playlist Push handles the matching and delivery. Average acceptance rates are around 32%.
Key differences
Self-serve vs managed service
Promoly puts you in control. You pick your contacts, craft your campaign, and track results. Playlist Push handles everything for you, but you have no control over who hears your music.
Promoly covers DJs and press, not just playlists
Playlist Push is Spotify-only. Promoly sends promos to DJs, radio hosts, journalists, and curators across all platforms.
Massive price difference
A Playlist Push campaign costs $250-1,000. A year of Promoly costs £120-948 and includes unlimited campaigns within your send limits.
You build a reusable contact list
With Promoly, every campaign adds to your contact database. Playlist Push is a one-shot service with no ongoing relationship management.
Where Promoly wins
Full control over who hears your music
You pick the DJs, press contacts, and curators. No AI middleman deciding who gets your track.
Massively cheaper
A single Playlist Push campaign costs more than several months of Promoly. For labels releasing regularly, the savings are enormous.
Broader than just playlists
Send to DJs, radio, press, and curators. Playlist Push only covers Spotify playlist curators.
Ongoing relationship data
Track how each contact engages across all your releases. Playlist Push gives you a one-time report.
Where Playlist Push wins
Fully hands-off
You submit a track and Playlist Push does everything. No contact list to build, no campaign to set up. Ideal if you want to pay someone else to handle it.
Vetted curator network
Playlist Push vets its curators and uses AI to match your track to the right playlists. You don't need to find curators yourself.
Spotify-focused results
If your only goal is Spotify playlist placements, Playlist Push is specifically built for that outcome.
The verdict
Playlist Push makes sense for one-off Spotify playlist campaigns when you don't have curator contacts and want someone else to handle the pitching. Promoly is the better choice for labels and artists who release regularly, want control over their promo relationships, and need to reach DJs and press alongside playlist curators. The price difference alone makes Promoly the obvious choice for regular senders.
