The platform has a good look but charges you money for simply doing something you can do for yourself right on a Metadata business Facebook or Google for almost free. They charged me about 700 dollars. And I literally got myself just as many views and followers as intellijend did. This was a sad disappointment. All the other platforms I used like Submit hub, You grow, and a couple of Seo optimizers all had far better results than the most expensive intellijend. I will never use them again. You grow is the best spotify promotion. Intellijend is by far one of the worst they'll suck your finances dry. I prefer a trustworthy Seo optimizer its one on one much more affordable its not a program promoting you its an actual person pushing your content which can create huge organic results. This was an expensive learning experience on who's good and who's a rip off..... Never again

Hey, appreciate the detailed breakdown. You're right that nothing stops you from running these campaigns yourself in Ads Manager. Where it usually falls apart is the setup itself: picking the wrong objective, targeting that's too broad or too narrow, no pixel connected so the algorithm is optimizing blind. intellijend handles that part specifically for music promotion instead of generic settings, so it's minutes of work instead of hours of trial and error.
Also want to clarify that the $700 was your ad spend, we don't take a cut there. What you get on top is the tracking layer: spend measured against actual Spotify growth, which playlists picked up your track, how you rank against comparable artists, and more.
YouGrow, and a one-on-one SEO person aren't really doing the same job as us. Playlist pitching, paid social, and SEO are different levers, and it's normal for them to perform differently depending on the artist and genre. That said, if you're open to it, send us the campaign details and we'll look into what actually happened.
