SubmitHub Reviews 

I recommend to work with SumitHub!

Jason and Dylan play fair game and services are really good and give musicians chance To get heard. Awesome guys!

Some of the feedback was helpful.

They shared our song on their platforms and playlist and were so gracious about doing so. We really want to thank them and recommend them for submission and listening. We are fans!

Very complicated and everything to be paid

I have used SubmitHub extensively and still use the platform because there are many good, genuine curators, and because I have found few genuinely comparable alternatives. However, a recent experience has significantly reduced my confidence in its curator rating system.

I paid for a Premium submission and received feedback that I considered very poor because it was brief and did not meaningfully explain why the track was not suitable for the curator’s playlist. The feedback was essentially that my song was “quite sad”. I complained because this gave me no useful explanation of why that was a problem or why the track was unsuitable.

To SubmitHub’s credit, their support representative acknowledged that the feedback was weak and, more importantly, confirmed that this curator had received similar criticism from other users and that repeated poor feedback ratings could lead to action being taken. I was also given two credits as a courtesy.

However, I was told that the curator had technically met the requirements because they had listened for the required amount of time and written the minimum number of words. I was also advised that, to avoid poor-quality feedback, artists should examine curators’ feedback ratings carefully before submitting.

The problem is that I later discovered that this same curator was prominently labelled “Top rated” by SubmitHub, despite the platform also showing that users frequently find their feedback vague or confusing and that their feedback scores are below average.

I contacted SubmitHub again to ask what “Top rated” actually means and how a curator with poor feedback ratings can retain such a prominent endorsement. The explanation I eventually received was that “Top rated” takes several aspects of a curator’s performance into account, not simply feedback quality.

That may explain the internal calculation, but I don’t think it resolves the customer-facing problem. A prominent “Top rated” badge naturally communicates a strong recommendation. Customers should not have to dig into secondary information to discover that a curator may actually be below average for one of the services they are paying to receive.

My concern is therefore not really about the two credits anymore. It is about transparency.

SubmitHub provides a useful service and I would like to continue using it, but I think its rating system needs to communicate much more clearly what “Top rated” actually means, particularly when a curator’s feedback-quality scores tell a very different story.

Update: SubmitHub’s founder, Jason, contacted me personally, clearly explained the system and acted on my concerns. He changed “Top rated” to “Highly rated,” clarified the FAQ and updated the badge criteria. I genuinely appreciate such a constructive response.

As a curator who has worked with this platform for 8 long years. DO NOT PROMOTE YOUR MUSIC ON THIS PLATFORM.

Let me tell you this, this platform cares more about the amount of submissions that are being sent, than actual music, or actual art.

With the rise of AI, they just don’t care, even as a curator if you turn NO AI MUSIC to ON, you’ll still receive so much AI slop.

I’m a fan of real art, eventually turned into a curator that ONLY curated Jazz, because I feel like that’s one of the genres that hasn’t been saturated with AI slop so far, but still..

Behind the scenes there is a lot of stuff happening that people have no idea about. Most curators don’t really care about your music, just the money they make off of you, and the platform acts like they don’t support that, but at the same time they still accept AI slop on their platform.

Do yourself a favor and learn how to run ads to your own music, that’s how curators get the listeners on their playlists as well. Don’t spend money on these platforms, ONLY if you’re REALLY looking for feedback, and then still. Most curators will just say ‘I like it’ or ‘I don’t’ in 28483728 different ways.

If you want real feedback, reach out to artists you like, and pay them a decent amount for actual feedback. Most curators aren’t even artists so what do they know about music?

I hope this helps. Keep creating ART and promote it yourself ❤️

you pay for playlist submission and the curators get paid for rejecting your submission, the platform is not fair
Your platform should be shut down because it's useless, you are taking advantage of the artists, with the excuse that spotify will shut you down, you are scamming people into paying you money for playlist placements which they get all rejected, and the money get taken away

Google "Many SubmitHub playlists have low or inactive listener counts, which is a common reason submissions do not yield significant results."

We submitted to alternative rock Spotify Curators which stated we're a 10 on the genre match scale and we're told "sorry we're not looking alternative rock...."

We pitched to 10, of which 3 approved us, but we never seen 1 stream confirmed in Spotify for Artists.

Also, a lot of the playlist Curators can be pitched to for FREE on Daily Playlist.

There services will all hopefully die out very soon

The best platform to take off into new musical horizons. I’ve been using SubmitHub to promote my music and I’ve had a great experience overall. The team is reliable and precise — submissions get reviewed in a timely manner, and the feedback from curators and playlisters feels genuine and useful, not generic. It’s a solid tool for artists looking for honest opinions and real exposure opportunities. Highly recommend for anyone serious about getting their music heard.

The only trusted place to organically promote your music. You actually see results, when the track aligns with the curators, or get helpful feedback if it doesn't. No Bots, no BS.

Great platform. One of the best out available. Real results and amazing constructive criticism. Real eye opener

It is obvious this company is not where you want to find playlist for your music, complete waste of money and time, the genre Target is terrible which in turn produces a really high rejection rate, and it is obvious that the curators half the time don't even listen and just send a copy and paste message that sounds like something AI wrote my experience was pretty terrible!

Great service. As all services where monney is involved, you have to be carefull with youre budget. No miracle! Youre music has to be good in the first place + you need to understand who youre reals partners are going to be. Some curators are going to love youre music, some not so much. That's life kids, but i feel overall it's fair most of the time. Support is great also.

I tried to promote through playlisting and meta ads automatically. The results was super bad. 1 playlist acceptance (which gave no streams) and the meta ads giving 0,3 conversition pr credit.

So your thinking the song is bad? Well maybe.But in the end I changed the visuals with a video I made. Conversions went to 1,5 pr credit...

I liked the simplecity and the tools, but in the end you have to create your own stuff for it to work. Forget playlisting, thats just a waste.

Response to submithub:
I didnt edit the targeting countries, just swapped the video. My meta ads are targeting Argentina yes, but that is not relevant to my ad with submithub. But thanks I will check if Argentina is bad target.

Just make the videos better and I think the auto service would be great.

Really bad services - and music reviewing... Twice we (Symbolic Field) got a negative review on the quality of the vocal performance - while our tracks are purely instrumental !! (we have an account for almost 2 years.. don't try to create an impression.. )

My songs often have a slightly different vibe compared to others. However, thanks to SubmitHub, I’ve been able to get them heard by many people. The feedback from curators serves as both a way to hone my craft and a source of comfort, and I am truly happy about that.

It's the best. Better than Groover and MusoSoup in so many ways. Only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that it's hard for an artist with a very heterogene and sometimes weird/odd catalogue to find the right curators. They are out there, but how do I find them behind all these conformed genre labels?

I had trouble with some DNS nuances of setting up a custom domain for the links feature and had decided to just give up and let it be. But Jason on the team had noticed and reached out to me to check in on the issue (I hadn't even asked for help). He went out of his way and found an issue on their end and let me know I could try again. Was very cool to have proactive help to get everything set up that I wasn't even asking about!
