Free Spotify Playlist Submission

How to submit your music to Spotify playlists for free

SubmitLink lets you send one song to two eligible Spotify playlists in a free campaign every 24 hours. You choose from playlists whose curators accept free submissions. There is no submission fee, and sending your song does not guarantee a response or playlist placement.

1. Find your song

Open the free campaign builder and search for your song or paste its Spotify track link. Check that you have selected the right track and artist before continuing.

2. Choose two relevant playlists

Review the eligible playlists and select two that fit your song. Listen to recent tracks on each playlist and compare their genre, mood and energy with yours. Available playlists can change as curators open or close free submissions.

3. Submit and follow the responses

Send your campaign and check your SubmitLink account for curator responses. Curators decide whether the song fits their playlists. You can start another free campaign after the 24-hour cooldown.

What is included in a free campaign?

One song, two eligible playlists and a place to follow your campaign activity. Free submissions are available again 24 hours after your previous free campaign; the allowance does not reset at midnight.

Only curators accepting free submissions appear in the free selection. The number and genres available can vary, so we do not promise a fixed number of free playlists for every song.

Choose playlists that fit your sound

Use your two submissions where the match makes sense. A large follower count alone does not tell you whether a playlist is right for your release.

Listen before you submit

Compare the playlist’s recent songs with your track. Consider vocals, language, instrumentation, mood and tempo. A quiet acoustic song may suit a smaller acoustic playlist better than a large playlist built around high-energy dance music.

Look beyond follower counts

Check whether the playlist is active and whether its selection feels consistent. We guarantee that the playlists you submit to through SubmitLink are bot-free, including those accepting free submissions. SubmitLink was created by the same team that made artist.tools, our sister company. Our specialists combine its data with hands-on reviews and ongoing monitoring to detect bot activity, artificial streams and artificial growth. Our Spotify bot checker can help you investigate suspicious activity.

Free playlist pitching or a paid campaign?

Use free playlist pitching when you want to try the submission process or send your song to a small selection without spending money. Start with relevant playlists, then review the responses before deciding on your next campaign.

If you want to submit to more playlists in one campaign, explore paid Spotify playlist promotion. Paid campaigns charge for curator consideration, not guaranteed placement. Their seven-day nonresponse credit policy does not apply to free campaigns.

Free Spotify playlist submission questions

Can I really submit my song for free?

Yes. SubmitLink’s free campaign sends one song to two eligible playlists without a submission fee. You can submit another free campaign after 24 hours. Paid campaigns are a separate option.

Will every curator reply?

No. A free submission does not guarantee a reply. You can check your campaign for responses as they arrive, but free campaigns do not include the paid campaign’s seven-day response guarantee or nonresponse credits.

Does submitting guarantee that my song will get added?

No. Curators choose songs according to their taste and playlist fit. A submission gives them the opportunity to consider your track; it does not guarantee an add, streams, saves or new fans.

Can I pitch to Spotify’s editorial playlists here?

SubmitLink connects you with independent playlist curators. To pitch an upcoming, unreleased song to Spotify’s own editors, use Spotify for Artists. That is a separate process and does not guarantee placement either.

What do I need before I submit?

Have your Spotify track link ready and choose the correct song in the builder. SubmitLink needs to find the track on Spotify. Before selecting playlists, listen to a few of their recent songs so you can judge whether your release belongs alongside them.

Can free playlist submissions help me reach more listeners?

They can give curators a way to discover your music. If a curator adds your song, the result depends on the playlist’s audience and how listeners respond. Check the results in Spotify for Artists rather than assuming an add will produce a particular number of streams.
