Yes Depends on who you use No
Where another option might fit better
Out of every playlist agency, we built GPM to be the strongest choice. The one scenario another route can make sense is if you are dead set on hand picking your own playlists.
If you want to choose your own playlists
Playlist pitching services let you pick exactly which curators to send your track to. If having full control over every submission matters to you more than the end result, that hands on approach can be appealing. But there is one pretty major caveat here to be aware of.
Look at the acceptance rate first
Most of these platforms only accept 10% to 20% of submissions. The model is built to pay the curators and the platform while leaving the artist out to dry, so you keep funding submissions and often walk away with nothing placed. With GPM you get real placements, not a coin flip on a curator who quit listening 10 seconds into your song.
The real cost
Promotion is easy to compare once you look at the all in number, not just the headline offer.
