Set your own prices. Review music at ⚡speed with our AI. Get paid. The first playlist network with terms curators & artists BOTH love!
Modern problems require modern solutions.
That is why Playlist IQ was created to solve the biggest headaches both artists & playlist curators have.
Here are the biggest complaints artists have with other playlist network sites:
1. They hate paying for feedback then hearing something like this from the curator, "Your song was great and really well done; unfortunately, it doesn't really fit my list."
2. They hate paying to submit to a group of curators and not receiving any streams from it.
3. They hate paying for a pitching service & ending up on playlists they think don't fit their song.
Here are the biggest complaints from playlist owners:
1. Curators hate not being able to properly monetize their list & being restricted to charging pennies for feedback even when their playlist is very popular.
2. Curators hate wasting time on hours of submissions whenever artists don't actually have a budget for promotion.
3. Curators don't feel like coming up with a novel for each review they have to write in order to get paid. They would just prefer to get paid more for the songs that fit their list & help that list gain in popularity.
And so, Playlist IQ was born!
Here's why artists love it:
1. Artists receive an initial (interest level) response from curators for free! No more wasting your budget on lists that aren't interested.
2. Artists get to select which of those interested lists to assign their budget to for feedback & scheduling.
3. Artists can see estimated streaming predictions for each list they submit to. (Streaming predictions are made via our AI-assisted proprietary algorithm based on hundreds of real data points).
4. Artists will receive a playlisting schedule at the same time they receive feedback. While the playlist curator is being paid for the feedback they write, they are also being held accountable for the answer they gave the artist during their initial review.
I.e. We ask the curators to give a playlisting schedule NOT because the artist is paying to get on the list, but because they said they were interested in putting the song on their list during the initial free review!
Here's why curators love it:
1. Curators can set their own prices for each list on their profile over 100 followers.
2. Curators can see the budget a campaign has prior to giving any initial responses for a song.
3. Curators can use our AI technology to quickly see the song genre, mood, energy, engineering quality, language and lyrical content before ever listening to the song. This enables an extremely efficient review process.
4. Curators can also use AI-assisted technology to write a unique final feedback an artist will receive.

Other sites try to make curators feel ashamed for wanting to get paid fairly. Not with us!

Playlist IQ Curator FAQ's
How do I get paid?
Payouts are given promptly 1 business day after requesting to your PayPal email address.
Which playlists of mine are eligible?
All playlists grown organically or through advertising that have at least 100 followers are eligible for our system.
You will have control over which of your lists enter our system whenever you initially tag them & set your prices.
We have a strict no bots policy, so if we see a playlist having unusual activity we will bar it from our system.
Is this just for Spotify playlist curators?
Yes. Right now, this system is built for Spotify playlists only. We will consider other platforms in the future.
What type of genres are artists submitting?
We aspire for a solid mix of all genres! Our platform is built for all of them.
Can I contact artists outside of the platform?
Contacting artists for payment outside of the platform violates our terms & can result in your removal from the system.
Our team has worked very hard to provide a great experience for both artists and curators.
Marketing the service cost us many resources, so we do not appreciate it whenever curators try to circumvent the system.
How much does Record Label AI get paid?
We split the feedback fee 50/50 with curators. We provide marketing to receive the submissions, research to present advanced stats to artists on playlists, and technology to allow curators to review songs quickly and efficiently.
How do you get the estimated streams?
We used a model similar to how real estate sites will come up with estimated home values by using comparables.
Our team has access to stats from hundreds of different artists on Spotify. We carefully compiled this data and analyzed it for trend markers to create our algorithm for stat prediction.
Again, this is only an ESTIMATE and does NOT guarantee any particular amount of streams on the lists, but we try to make it as reliable as we can.
If you believe your list estimate is inaccurate, please contact us here
How long do I have to review submissions?
Curators are given 3 days to provide feedback on paid submissions. After that, the artist gets credited back the funds automatically if not answered in that time frame.
How many songs will I receive per week?
This is greatly dependent on the number of lists you own, the quality of the lists, genres, and more. We want to get as many quality songs to as many quality curators as possible!
How long do I have to place the songs in my lists after accepting them?
You will have a maximum of three days to place the song after telling the artist that you would place it.
This is done to ensure efficiency & a great experience for all!
If you do not follow through on your word here, artists will be able to report the activity and it will affect your reputation score on the platform (thus, resulting in receiving less submissions).
How is my Trust Score calculated?
Every curator begins with a trust score of 87/100.
If you receive positive feedback from artists about the following, your trust score can increase:
- Playlisting songs on time
- Leaving songs in for the duration of time you originally agreed to
- Being active on Playlist IQ to give initial responses to submissions
If you receive negative reviews from artists, your trust score can decrease. This includes the following:
- Not being timely with scheduling approved songs for your playlists (using our in-app Spotify connection can instantly alleviate this issue)
- Having any artificial streaming activity to increase traffic to your list (this is immediate grounds for removal from the program)
- Adding songs to your list but taking them out prior to the time frame you originally agreed to
- Adding a song to your list but drastically & arbitrarily lowering its position on the list (I.e. you agreed to place a song in the top 5, but 3 days later move that song down to position 100)
If an artist reports this activity, our team will confirm the activity prior to making any changes to your Trust Score.
Should your Trust Score fall below a 70/100, you will have one final warning to right ship before removal from Playlist IQ.
