Check any Spotify playlist for bots and payola. Search or paste a Spotify link.
How it works:
We've been analyzing follower history, listener patterns that point to bots or artificial streaming, and general playlister behavior for millions of playlists since ~2017. Our database is huge.
For each playlist you analyze, we give you a rating:
Not safe means we've reviewed it by hand and found bots or paid placement.
Unsure means we haven't manually reviewed it yet.
Verified means we've reviewed it and it looks fine.
How to spot a fake playlist:
Follower counts that jump or crash overnight. Real playlists grow steadily.
One profile with several 10,000+ follower playlists and generic names like "Fresh Finds" or "Hot New Music".
Anyone who guarantees placement for a fee. That's payola, it's against Spotify's terms, and any curator caught doing it on SubmitHub is banned instantly.
Landing on a botted playlist can get your streams removed and your song taken down. This won't happen to you if you use SubmitHub. Read more in How to avoid fake playlists.
Why we built it:
We use this tool to keep fake playlists off SubmitHub. Every playlister here is checked with it before they can receive submissions, and we share what we find with Spotify.
