You don't need a marketing budget to start pitching your music to playlist curators. These 11 platforms let you submit for free — no credit card, no trial that auto-charges you later. Here's what each one actually offers.
| Platform | Free Allowance | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Indiemono | Unlimited free | Indie, alt, pop — simplest form, just paste a link |
| Musicto | Unlimited free | All genres — 500+ playlists, matched by mood |
| Soundplate | Unlimited free | Electronic, house, chill — large catalog |
| Daily Playlists | 10 submissions/day | All genres — 18,000+ playlists indexed |
| PitchPlaylists | 20 submissions/week | All genres — credits refresh weekly |
| LabelRadar | 5 submissions/month | Labels and blogs, not just playlists |
| SubmitLink | 3 free submissions | AI-matched curators, one-time free trial |
| MySphera | Free tier + paid | Curators browse and reach out to you |
| Matchfy | Free tier + paid | AI analyzes your track, suggests matching playlists |
| Hypeddit | Free tier + paid | Pre-save pages and download-gated promo, not just pitching |
| ReverbNation | Free tier + paid | Labels, festivals, and licensing opportunities beyond playlists |
The lowest-friction option on this list — one form, paste your Spotify link, done. No account tier limits your free submissions. Best suited to indie, alternative, and pop genres.
Matches your track to playlists by mood rather than just genre tags, across a catalog of 500+ playlists. Fully free, no submission cap.
One of the largest free catalogs, particularly strong for electronic, house, and chill/lo-fi. The submission flow is multi-step (track link → genre → curator match), so budget a couple of extra minutes per pitch.
18,000+ playlists indexed, with a generous 10 free submissions per day — the highest daily free allowance on this list if you're pitching multiple tracks or an EP.
20 free submissions per week, refreshing every Monday. Good for spreading a single track's pitching out over a full release cycle instead of front-loading everything in one day.
5 free submissions a month, but reaches beyond playlists into labels and blogs — useful if you're not just chasing a playlist add but an actual signing or press coverage.
AI-assisted curator matching, with 3 free submissions to try it before any paid tier. Good as a first test of whether AI-matched pitching works better for your genre than manual browsing.
Flips the usual model — curators browse submitted tracks and reach out to you, rather than you cold-pitching them. Free tier available, paid tier increases visibility.
Runs an AI analysis on your track's audio and suggests playlists it's likely to fit, rather than relying only on the genre tag you pick. Free tier covers basic matching.
Less a submission marketplace, more a promo toolkit — pre-save pages, download-gated links, and fan-capture tools. Worth pairing with the pitching platforms above rather than using alone.
One of the oldest names in indie music promotion. Beyond playlists, it opens submission opportunities to labels, festival bookers, and sync/licensing — a longer-game platform.
Combined, these free allowances add up to well over 100 free submissions a month — but only if you actually get through all 11 forms without burning out on repetitive copy-pasting.
Song Pitch stores your artist profile once and auto-fills it across these platforms, plus tracks every submission and free-credit refresh so nothing gets pitched twice — or missed.
Install Song Pitch — FreeFree platforms alone can carry a real submission campaign — especially the recurring-credit ones like Daily Playlists and PitchPlaylists, which effectively give you dozens of fresh pitches every month for as long as you keep releasing music. Paid marketplaces like SubmitHub and Groover are worth adding once you've exhausted what's free, not before.
