More than submissions - a full toolkit for your Spotify playlist
Every curator gets free tools that work from day one, whether submissions are rolling in or not. Turn on an optional Follow Gate any time to ask submitting artists for a quick follow back on Spotify - never required, just there if you want it.
A Real Submission Inbox
Accept or decline with optional feedback. Placements are verified against Spotify automatically - no bookkeeping, no spreadsheets.
Growth & Freshness Analytics
Real follower tracking, one Spotify reading per day, plus a freshness score that shows how alive each playlist looks to artists.
Your Real Tracklist, Decoded
Every track on your playlist with its popularity and how long it has been there - spot stale tracks before your listeners do.
Founding Curator Status
The first 20 curators keep a permanent Founding badge on their public page - it can never be earned again later.

Curators Who Love Music, Artists Who Love Making It
We match independent artists with curators actively looking for new music - and help both sides grow together along the way.
Direct Access, No Middlemen
No gatekeepers, no waiting rooms. If a curator likes your track, they add it. That's the whole process.
Grow Together, Not Gated
Some curators ask for a quick Spotify follow before you submit - always optional, never required to get considered. A small way to support the curators championing your music.
Built By Musicians
We've done the grind ourselves. PlaylistDock exists to help curators who love music and artists who love making it find each other - alongside independent curators, always keep pitching every release through Spotify for Artists too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does submitting a track actually work?
Open a playlist that fits your sound, paste your Spotify track link, and add a short note to the curator if you want. No account, no signup, no waiting room.
Is it really free?
Yes - no fees, no premium tier, no credits to buy. Up to 3 free submissions a day.
How many songs can one artist submit per day?
Up to 3 submissions per artist per day, across every track and every playlist - plenty of room to pitch a few different songs, then come back tomorrow.
How do I improve my odds of getting added?
Submit to playlists that genuinely match your genre and mood, not just the biggest ones. A short, honest note to the curator goes further than a generic pitch. Keep releasing and submitting - rejection is normal early on, consistency is what works.
What genres are welcome?
All of them. Use the genre and mood filters to find playlists that actually fit your sound, from hip-hop and R&B to house, afrobeats, and beyond.
