The main SubmitHub alternatives are Groover, Daily Playlists, Musosoup, Playlist Push, Soundplate and Delaynote. Choose Groover for paid replies, Daily Playlists or Soundplate for free submissions, Musosoup or Playlist Push for campaigns, and Delaynote if you would rather contact curators directly.
SubmitHub is still useful, especially for fast feedback. These options suit different budgets and ways of working. Details come from each company's website and were checked in November 2026.

Groover
Groover is the closest alternative. You pay per curator, and credits return if a curator does not respond within 7 days. It charges 2 Grooviz per contact, with some top curators costing more. Choose it if you want a clear response window and a simple way to contact people through one platform.
Daily Playlists
Daily Playlists has a free Standard Tier and says it has a marketplace of more than 18,000 playlists. Paid options add premium curators and more tools, but its homepage does not list their prices. Choose it if you want to start free.
Soundplate
Soundplate offers free submissions to genre playlists. It is less of a full campaign tool and more of a quick free option to add to your release plan.
Musosoup
Musosoup covers more than playlists, including press and social coverage. Applying is free. Approved artists pay a £42 campaign fee, which is refunded if they get no coverage. Curators can make paid or free offers, and you choose which to accept.
Playlist Push
Playlist Push runs larger campaigns to curators of more than 4,000 verified playlists. Spotify campaigns start at $280. You pay for reviews, not placements, so it is better suited to a release with a real marketing budget.
Delaynote
Delaynote works differently because it is a directory instead of a marketplace. It lists more than 12,000 playlists that invite submissions, along with genre and mood filters, follower history and a submission tracker.
You pay once for access, with no per-contact charge from Delaynote. Some curators may charge their own fee, and you decide whether to contact them. Because you handle outreach yourself, you get no guaranteed response or built-in feedback.
Choose it if you release regularly and want your own contact list rather than paying for each submission.

FAQ

Is Groover better than SubmitHub? It depends on what you want. Groover gives a 7-day reply window, while SubmitHub's premium credits have a 72-hour window and free standard credits. Try a small batch on each.
Do any of these guarantee playlist placement? No reputable option should. Spotify warns against services that guarantee placement or streams for money.
