Moonstrive Media Reviews 

I basically like your service, however I do not like the fact that you show the smaller promotions as always out of stock. To me it's a bait and switch tactic that is extremely unfair to artists who do not have deep pockets to promote.

Moonstrive is our most trusted playlisting service on Spotify. The streams are real with no bots and we have grown tremendously since we started working with them. 2 things stand out, their playlists are extremely active and cost per stream s much lower than their competitors. Moonstrive is the real deal to compliment any artist growth strategy.

I just finished running my second Spotify playlist placement campaign with Moonstrive, and again the experience and results were good. Again delivered what they promised - good reliable Spotify streams - and if anything this second promotion got even better results than the first. Again very efficient and easy to use, and my campaign was up and running within a day or two. I plan to use them again on my next release.

We continue to work with Moonstrive and recommend them.

All of the very few listens were received from just a handful of cities with ZERO saves or views.

For those unfamiliar with typical organic listens distribution, having 300 listens come from Seattle with no other stream coming from the USA is a big red flag.

Also, the listens came through in a batch run i.e nothing most of the day and then like clockwork at the same time each day, hundreds would go through. Anyone with any common sense could see they were not organic listens.

My song has been on the spotify algorithmic playlists for 4 months with over 80k streams and 3k+ of both saves and views - remember the order received ZERO saves or views.

I love the very sincere and professional response they made, trying to gaslight me. No, that is not the last communication I sent. That was the email before the order started. My last email explained in full why I believe your listens are not organic. You tried to get trustpilot to not approve my review, but after I sent them all my supporting evidence... Well it still being here speaks for itself.

How could I tell my analytics were accurate, well pretty straight forward, you told me the names of the playlists I was on and at the time I had no promotions going nor was I on Spotify algorithm playlists.

So... all the stats were from my order with you.lol oh and I had live update going.

Why did I wait 6 months to write my review. You may find it hard to believe but this is not a huge priority in my life. However, as recently my social media is clogged with your Ads, I thought I should take the time to write a review, even if it saves a few ppl.

Finally, id would like to address anyone thinking of engaging their services, If you don't mind not getting organic listens and happy to have your listen count inflated to boost your ego or show people you're more successful then you are, then this gig may still be ok for you.

I’ve used Moonstrive Media several times now for Spotify and will keep using them. This time I went for the 500k package (I’ve used the 250k each time before) and it was really great. Streams, monthly listeners and followers all increased very significantly. I like that they use a very wide range of playlists in different countries but always within genre (pop). The service is always easy to use and trustworthy. I've used other promotion services in the past, a couple with very good results but overall, I prefer Moonstrive.

Moonstrive has a simple mission that they do very well. They place songs on a list of very active playlists. No service can guarantee how many listeners will like your music - that's on the artist - but Moonstrive can honestly report that you will get the plays. If you have access to analytics on Spotify, you can verify it, as I did.

The campaign reached good results and the playlists are legit. I'm not giving it 5 stars because genre-wise I didn't think they were an amazing fit. But overall good cost-benefit!

This was my first time trying a playlisting service. My experience is that the service is quite effective. Very effective, actually. I got a lot of streams and according to the artist.tools they were legit playlists. And, the stats on Spotify backed it up. No weird stats that pointed to bots. So, you're getting real listeners. For me, however, I ended up pulling my song down early as I wasn't really a fan of the list I landed on. My tune was more in the Radiohead OK Computer realm...and I landed on a playlists with stuff like Elvis, Chuck Berry, ZZ Top, and AC/DC. I was worried this would mess up my "Fans also like" info, so I asked them to remove my song. I'm going to try again with my next song to see if maybe I land on a list with some more appropriate artists. Customer Service here is also pretty fantastic as they responded to my request pretty quickly and without issue.

We recently tried the Moonstrive Media playlisting service to promote our music, and I'm thrilled with the results. They delivered the numbers we paid for, exceeding our expectations. The team curated targeted playlists that matched my genre, resulting in a significant increase in streams, monthly listeners, and followers. Their transparency, adherence to Spotify guidelines, and personalized approach make them an excellent choice for any artist looking to expand their reach on Spotify.

Very good results overall. More specific genre pitching would have been good but I got good “mood” placements.

First time using Moonstrive, initially i was quite unsure what to expect beforehand, but they definitely provide the results they promise. I purchased the 100K followers package and we received over 2700 streams within the 4 weeks. Engagement wasn’t amazing but we still gained a decent amount of followers, and listeners also saved the song, so the service is definitely legitimate. The track was also uploaded within 24 hours of submission and I received a detailed PDF explaining which playlists the song was placed on and how many followers each playlist has etc. Overall my experience was very positive. I was very happy with the results. 100% recommend moonstrive to anyone and will be sure to use their services again in the future.

Brilliant! It really worked great and I am happy with the results!

Honestly, the best playlist placement service i used, all organic, a steady increase in followers, plays and monthly listeners. Ordering again :)

We have used Moonstrive to promote two of our songs. We highly recommend Moonstrive as they do everything they say they will. Quickly!

Good experience! Ended up on 4 playlists, each with a broad but still appropriate genre fit. Our song was a noisey alt rock / post punk song and was put on the playlists "Biker Music Rock Songs," Notion Vibes," "AC/DC - Best Rock Songs" and "American Pie Playlist." I purchased the 100k Playlist Followers package, and after 4 weeks the song accumulated 1,789 streams from those 4 specific playlists, which is pretty solid for the price. There seemed to be a radio bump for the track during this time, but I've been using a few different promo services over the past month, so it's hard to tell if this bump was from the Moonstrive playlists or not - regardless, I am sure they helped! The team was also incredibly speedy, accepted our track and had us added to the playlists within 24 hours. They sent a very clear PDF detailing which playlist adds were theirs, which was super helpful. All around this was a very positive experience!

This was my first time using Moonstrive Media and the results were fairly good. Through the playlists my song received a little over 1000 streams (which is on the low side that they estimate) however, my music IS very niche so it wasn't totally surprising. I'm happy to get the ball rolling with those 1000 streams. I think my only real criticism is that the playlists weren't exactly specific to my genre ( which is often the case with other playlist promotions I've come across since again, my genre is dark and niche). In the end I would use and will use their services again for future releases.

Great service and excellent results. Looking forward to partnering again soon!

We've used Moonstrive for 3 consecutive campaigns and have been pretty pleased with the results. It boosted our numbers with real listeners, got some saves and a few new followers, and boosted the Radio playlist algorithm on Spotify. We used one of the more affordable packages as our budget is small, but still got decent results. When we weren't getting good results on a playlist, I reached out and they moved our song to another one that did better for us. Good customer service and we will be using them again.

I've tried six playlist companies in the past year and Moonstrive is the only one I will use again (and have used them three times already). I'm new to this world of music promotion, so wanted to try small campaigns with several companies to see how it went. A couple companies didn't provide good results at all, a couple seemed to be using bots and another looked legit but only had streams in South America, which isn't my target audience.

Going forward, I will mostly use social media for promotion, combining my posts with advertising, but will continue using Moonstrive to help my Spotify numbers grow and reach more people. I've gone from 0 streams, 0 followers to 140k streams and 400 followers in six months. At the end of the Moonstrive campaign, when my song is removed from playlists, the streams numbers drop significantly as you would expect, but I still see listens everyday that I believe come from listeners of the playlists I used to be on that saved my songs or added to their own playlists. I've used Moonstrive to find playlists for 3 songs and each experience was good. The playlists my songs were put on didn't seem the best to me at first (for example "Rock and Roll Classics"), but the results are better then any other company and I'm confident the listeners are real (spent a lot of time looking at each playlist my songs were place on to see the history). It's hard to know for sure, but my Instagram followers have increased quite a bit too and I wonder if that is coming from folks that found me on a playlist.

I've learned it's a bad idea to spend a whole promotion budget on a playlisting service, but it can help a bit and is worth it if you have the money to spend. I think of it as covert advertisement - my songs aren't advertisements per se, but when someone is listening to great songs and then my song is played, that is my chance to win over a fan. It's not going to happen every time of course, but my song wouldn't have reached the ears of that music fan at all if I hadn't done the promotion.

One thing I don't love is that they are not based in the USA, so when I pay them my bank charges an International Service fee (1%). Maybe it's just my bank, I'm not sure... Not a huge deal, just a little annoyance. Overall, I'm happy with Moonstrive!
