What Is SubmitHub?
Updated
SubmitHub is a music promotion platform where artists, publicists, and labels submit songs to music bloggers, Spotify playlisters, TikTok and Instagram influencers, and other curators. It describes itself as "the most-transparent place to promote your music" and says it works with 1,700+ quality-checked curators. More than one million artists, publicists, and labels have used it to get their music heard. If your goal is to get a song in front of curators who can review or playlist it, SubmitHub is built for that task.
What you can do on SubmitHub
The platform groups its services into a few main areas:
- Curator submissions — send your music to Spotify playlisters, music bloggers, and influencers for review or promotion.
- Promotion packages — bundled promotion options for artists who want a broader push.
- Hire influencers — work directly with influencers rather than only submitting for playlist or blog consideration.
- Marketplace Ads and Meta Ad Links — advertising-related tools for promoting music.
- Ads Studio — a workspace for managing ad activity.
- Free tools — a set of utilities you can use without submitting a song, including Playlist Checker, AI Song Checker, "What's My Genre?", Hot or Not, Bot Checker, Popularity Checker, and Playlist Finder.
For artists specifically, the site also offers Genre Analytics, a list of curators, and a "Hot or Not" feature. Curators can apply to join the platform through a separate path.
How the transparency claim works
The core promise is transparency in the submission process. Instead of sending a song into an opaque pipeline and waiting, SubmitHub frames itself as showing you where your music goes and who is evaluating it. The 1,700+ curators are described as quality-checked, which is meant to distinguish them from unvetted playlist or blog contacts.
That matters because the main risk in music promotion is paying or spending effort on curators who never listen, never respond, or aren't real. A platform that vets curators and reports outcomes addresses that risk directly.
Who it's for
SubmitHub fits three types of users:
| User | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Independent artists | Submit a single or EP to curators, check playlist fit, test genre positioning |
| Publicists | Run submissions for multiple clients through one platform |
| Labels | Promote releases across blogs, playlists, and influencers at scale |
If you only want free analysis of your song or playlist placement, the free tools cover that without a submission. If you want actual reviews or playlist adds, you're in the submission and promotion side of the platform.
What to check before you start
- Which curators fit your genre — use the curator list and Genre Analytics to avoid sending a song to curators who don't cover your style.
- What each curator offers — review versus playlist add versus social post are different outcomes; confirm what you're submitting for.
- Whether your song is ready — the AI Song Checker and Playlist Checker can flag issues before you spend submissions.
- Cost and account requirements — the site's pricing and login terms aren't specified in the available material, so confirm current pricing and account requirements directly on SubmitHub before committing.
The practical next step is to create an account, run your track through the free tools to check genre and playlist fit, then choose curators whose coverage matches your sound.
