Review summary

People appreciate the transparency of the process and the genuine connections fostered, leading to playlist placements and valuable insights for improving releases. However, some customers also noted that curator feedback can be inconsistent, with some providing less helpful insights or rejecting music without clear reasons.

The "least worse option" to promote your music online. It's great but it's mostly small playlists and sometime curators don't give you a valid reason to refuse your music (e.g. taste even though your... See more

We help musicians connect with curators. Our goal is to make it transparent and easy, but we can't promise guaranteed success. Curators are picky and often to the point. The space is highly competitive and you need to have tough skin.

My opinion

I think it is relatively easy to use and set up. I have gotten some useful feedback from playlisters at times.
Every curator has pretty clear requirements regarding genre and production. After a few trial runs, you learn who you’re compatible with.
Submithub has helped me gain a following and some great contacts in the genre.

submit hub is not all that legit.

submit hub is not all that legit.
submit hub makes pretentious remarks and stands by them. Paying all this money for playlisters to send weird remarks about these songs the problem is.... its allowed.
ITs just another website started to profit off of struggling musicians they don't appeal to mainstream record companies they got up.
everytime you spend money artists should know they only have that power because they are cheap.

The "promote" button replaces the "submit" button.

The new development is that you can't just press a submit button. What used to be a submit button is now a "promote" button, that requires payment. This site wants your money. Trying to submit music for free consideration for playlisting Is a thing of the past. There are hardly any unpaid opportunities and 99% of the time the playlists reject your music, no matter how good it is.

Hey Jonathan, I tried to set this up so both options are available. Under the "advanced" button, there's a "remember my preference" checkbox and then it goes back to the single click way it was before. Did you see that button? Let me know if it's not working?

Im a curator and their support is terrible. Working with Jami is frustrating and they'll put holds on your account without letting you know! no discussion or anything! their scoring system just does not work and is not transparent as well! Curators your time might be better spent on some of the other up and coming services where your time is paid at a much better value and a system that actually makes sense to both the curator and the artist submitting music. I do not reccomend.

Hi Alexander, we tend to only put a hold on an account if we're not getting a response or if we feel that account no longer qualifies to be listed. You can email jason@submithub.com if you want me to review the case.

Honestly I like it

Honestly I like it, I use it for free at the moment and found that they give free credits to submit sometimes you hit sometimes you miss I can appreciate that already from a company.

Spending money to get AI reviews

The only way to get something out of submithub is to spend huge amount of money or time, because the curators are picky, often times not even musically educated, and the platform doesn’t help you at all to find the right ones.
I always get excellent feedback, praising my tracks but then there is some tiny detail (eg this instrument is just a bit too bright/dark) which doesn’t make the cut.
Some have even started replying using AI, which makes one wonder why spending the money in the first place.

Yes curators are picky, but we do *not* recommend spending more money if a song isn't getting shared.

I typically recommend starting with 5-10 submissions go see what the reception is like. Based on that, you can either scale up, or change the approach.

We do not allow curators to use AI to write their feedback and we have many protections in place for this. I will reach out to you to get details on which curator you suspect was using AI.

10 year customer

I’ve been using SubmitHub for about 10 years. It’s been a reliable tool for promoting my new releases, building connections with playlist curators as music bloggers, and building my presence on music streaming services like Spotify. The pricing is fair, and options like “Hot or Not” can be helpful for both testing the waters with a new song, and networking with other artists. I’ve connected with publishers, labels, curators and bloggers over the years, and my experience with SubmitHub has been a positive one, especially when compared to the available competition. Naturally, my results and my satisfaction with those results has improved as the quality of my work has improved over the years. The better I’ve gotten, the more approvals my songs get and the broader the audience they reach. Overall a worthwhile tool for music promotion in the age of music streaming & social media.

"Transparent feedback and real growth for independent artists"

SubmitHub has been a real game-changer for my music career. My previous release got featured on a top playlist, gaining over 10,000 streams and 5,000 listeners in just a month. I love the transparency of curator feedback and how easily you can find the right “Match” for your genre. It’s more than playlist pitching—it’s about growing through data and audience insights. Highly recommended for serious artists.
