When they say 150 - 250K streams I think they literally mean "150", not "150K". I purchased that package and ended up with under 2K streams. In the same time period I received 3K streams on Spotify... See more

Moonstrive - Great value and Success

I have used Moonstrive Media previously for Spotify Playlist placement - this time the style of music that I was seeking placement for was quite different from previous requests. I was very pleased to see that the song was placed on playlist quite different from previous ones used and these playlists were appropriate to the vibe of the song. Once again I had great success with the results and would have no hesitation both using them again and recommending them myself.

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND MAKE EXCUSES

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY! From one artist to another, please be advised, these guys will take your money and make excuses, below is an email of them admitting their service under performs although they do not state that anywhere on their website before they take your money, I warn all artists, to stay away from them, you are better off saving your money for other means of promo, regardless of how much you pay, they will deliver the same results if anything, here is the email and you can decide for yourself as an artist:

Hi Dumisani,

Thanks for getting back!
Yeah, admittedly the results are pretty low for the 250k package. Still in the very low range of acceptable but in case the higher placements now don't help to get you better results we might consider additional placements.“

Dear Dumisani,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At Moonstrive Media, we take every review seriously and aim to address our clients' concerns transparently.

Firstly, we apologize if our service did not meet your expectations. Our goal is always to deliver the best possible results within the scope of organic promotion, which, as we emphasize, can have varied outcomes.

Service Clarification: Our promotion packages are designed to offer organic growth through SEO-optimized playlist placements. The stream ranges we provide are estimates based on historical data and cannot be guaranteed, as organic promotion is influenced by many factors beyond our control. We understand this might not always align with expectations, and we're continually working to improve our services.

Your Campaign: Regarding your specific case, your song received over 5,000 streams, falling within the estimated range of 2,500 to 37,500 streams for the package you chose. While this was on the lower end, it was still within the expected outcome for an organic campaign. Our team made efforts to enhance your placements when the initial performance was lower than anticipated.

Regarding Pricing: The pricing of our packages is based on the total playlist follower reach and not solely on the number of streams. Higher-priced packages offer access to playlists with a larger cumulative following, which typically provides a broader reach.

Transparency and Expectations: We strive to be transparent about the nature of our services. Organic promotion, by its very nature, has a degree of unpredictability. We aim to set realistic expectations, understanding that the nature of music promotion, especially in digital spaces, involves variables that can affect the final outcome.

Looking Forward: We are committed to learning from each campaign and client interaction. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us refine our processes and communication.

We appreciate your business and are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. We hope this response clarifies the situation and demonstrates our commitment to our clients' success and satisfaction.

Warm regards,
Janik from Moonstrive Media

Moonstrive Media delivered on its promise, boosting my track's visibility with real plays on Spotify playlists. I stumbled upon this service while looking to promote my music online, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The user-friendly platform made it a breeze to get started. My track not only gained more exposure but also received a substantial increase in plays. I highly recommend Moonstrive Media to anyone looking to experiment with playlist promotion. It's a valuable tool for aspiring artists.

Great Experience

Moonstrive Media is reliable and highly skilled in pitching music to active, engaged Spotify playlists. My songs have been accepted and placed quickly. Streams from my playlist placements with Moonstrive always generate paid royalties. Their service is clean and true with no bots. I enjoy working with Moonstrive, I recommend them, and I am sure I will work with them again in the near future.

Good boost to streams

Hi, after some initial issues, Janik got back to me and put the song on a more appropriate playlist. Whilst I got a lot of streams, I didnt get many saves or playlist adds, which is typical of playlists.

Hello Vince,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on Trustpilot. We value all input, as it helps us refine and improve our services.

I remember our earlier correspondence where you were keen to delve into Spotify SEO and had specific expectations regarding playlist targeting. I understand that the experience did not meet your expectations, which we regret.

Given the synthwave style of your track our playlist network is more limited in offering highly specialized playlists. We utilized more generic playlists where we believed your music would still resonate. Organic promotion can yield various outcomes, and while the playlists may not have been an exact match, it's unlikely that the campaign resulted in zero saves or likes. Could you please provide a screenshot to verify this?

I'd like to remind you that during the course of our email communications, we did offer a partial refund and the option to cancel the campaign when you expressed dissatisfaction. We did not receive a response to that offer.

Would you be willing to continue this conversation via email? We are committed to customer satisfaction and are open to resolving this issue in a manner that is satisfactory to you.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to resolving this matter.

Best regards,
Moonstrive Media

Great results

I've used a lot of different playlist promotion sites, and Moonstrive has by far gotten me the best results. In a recent campaign they got well over 5X the amount of streams I got from another *top playlist promoter* for the same price.

Stale playlists - avoid at all costs

I used to love using these guys, however my last promotion was a dismal failure.

I had half the streams i got in previous promotions. Janik kept bagging on about the SEO of the playlist and that search volumes are down when in reality a playlist with 105k saves should produce more than 2,000 streams in a 4 week period.

Previous campaigns 4,500 - 5,500 on the same playlist.

Save your money there are better options.

Dear Scott,

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Trustpilot regarding your recent experience with Moonstrive Media. We genuinely appreciate your continued support across multiple campaigns (4 campaigns) and understand your disappointment with the results of the last promotion.

We want to assure you that our primary goal is to connect artists with real, engaged listeners through carefully curated SEO-optimized playlists. While fluctuations in playlist performance can occur due to various factors outside our control, such as search volume and playlist SEO dynamics, our commitment to enhancing our network for better exposure remains steadfast.

It's important to clarify that the dynamics of playlist performances can indeed fluctuate, which is an inherent aspect of organic music promotion. While a playlist with a significant number of saves may suggest potential for higher streams, the actual outcome can be influenced by current search trends and listener engagement, which are variable.

We're continuously working to expand and optimize our network to ensure our artists receive the best possible exposure. Despite the lower than anticipated traffic in your last promotion, our team has been dedicated to fulfilling our service promise, aiming for genuine and measurable results.

We recognize that expectations were high, and we're truly sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet those expectations. Regarding the ratings and comparison with other services, it's crucial to understand that our focus on SEO and organic playlisting sets us apart, prioritizing real listener engagement over inflated numbers.

Your feedback is invaluable to us for improving our services and client experiences. We believe in our approach to music promotion and hope to have the opportunity to demonstrate its value to you in the future.

Kind regards,
Moonstrive Media

Moonstrive got my song on very applicable playlists that seemed to get steady organic streams, although the stats were modest. This is one of the better online music promotional services for sure!

As advertised

I've used Moonstrive for several campaigns now and am pleased with the results. I have tried Omari MC, YouGrow and others, but Moonstrive delivers more consistently with modest impacts on saves and followers and playlists that are good genre fits.

Moonstrive Media is awesome!

Moonstrive Media is awesome!

My experience was smooth and easy, my song got playlisted within a day! I wanted to give them a big smooch. I paid more for other services and got less streams, Moonstrive was the most bang for your buck. Also, lots of those streams are still occurring even after being removed from the playlists which shows quality playlists that create fans that last! Will be using them again for my next song!!

10/10!
