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

This is my honest review on Moonstrive…

This is my honest review on Moonstrive Media, I have used them for sometime now and I plan to continue using them, it isn't easy to find legit promoters who do right and put you on genuine playlists that are not botted, at the same time communicate with you respectfully and take feedback. If you are looking for their playlists to make you the next big thing or to make a lot of revenue then you don't know how promotion works and I don't think they are for you, but if you need legit steady plays and listeners from a diverse set of countries then I can assure you they are good at what they do.
Some playlists that they added my song on did not fit the genre but they were very communicative to help sort it out.
They don't make big or false promises which is important for an indie artist but they do their best which to be honest I feel will only get better as they gain more playlists that fit a number of genres.
I plan on using their service continuously and hopefully they continue to get better.

Great customer service

Moonstrive does a great job getting streams for sure, but where they really excel is in customer service. We used their service twice, and after the first package we were a little unsure about the playlists we were on. We weren't sure if they were the best fit, so we reached out to Moonstrive and asked about their selection process and they responded very quickly, and were very friendly and helpful. This responsiveness is why we decided to use their service again and we are very satisfied with the results!

Please advertise what you really sell

Look, I’m not saying you haven’t helped get me in front of more listeners but your Facebook advertising does not sell you. You show these people getting streams but then when you look that profile on Spotify you only see 100 listeners from all those streams. Understanding that only 1% to 2% of people May return to listen to you again to your music but you make is seem that people will get famous overnight which to me is discouraging me from using you again. 5000 streams on YouTube May get me 30 likes which results in return listeners. 3000 streams in a month May get you 20-100 return listeners every so often. Honestly you spend more than you get for the long haul but advertising cost is about the same if not more which is exactly what you are. My main complaint is that I don’t think your playlist choices are always the best and honestly repetitive for songs that are totally different. I think you should allow the customer to choose the playlists that they think they would do best on. After all it is their song. Also it only helps a little to have people playing your songs in other countries as I can’t go and play for them. So maybe let people also choose where they want there songs to stream if that’s even possible. Understand I root for the underdog because I am one and you may crush more dreams than help if your advertising claims these “great” results. It takes more than a 1,000,000 dollars to make a person famous for a major label. Look it up. So a couple hundred or thousand will only take you so far. Your advertisements may work but is it really saying what your selling? If you think it does then your just like the rest of these guys.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your constructive critic and feedback!
We can actually agree with most that you say!
Everybody that has spoken to me via Email, knows that we are not the type of people promising unrealistic stuff. While it may seem like this in our advertisements, we try to give every client that get's in touch with as a realistic picture of the expected results.
You are also right, that it takes a lot of money to break an artist and SEO playlisting doesn't make somebody famous overnight. Generally getting many streams is not necessarily the same with becoming famous. Usually people rather get famous through social media, Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and YouTube as visual conent plays a big role as well!

Also the conversion rates across the internet are generally not that high, so we agree that you need tons of streams/traffic in order to pull a few real fans! SEO playlisting is not perfect (targeting is almost impossible) and our playlist network is limited. But at least we can deliver real results in an industry that has a very shady and bad reputition.

Thanks again for your feedback. All the best to you!

I’m surprise with the good real results I’ve gotten

I tried a lot of companies already and normally I’m quite dissatisfied with the final results. But with Moonstrive media I got what they promised. They are good and will give you real listeners. One of the best playlist pitching companies I have work with. They are serious and you can trust you’ll get only real numbers from people actually listening to your music. Of course a lot of them will be passive listeners (studying, drinking something in a coffeeshop and so on) because of how the seo playlists are optimized (feelings, situations) but you’ll get for sure some real fans and this from my point of view is like gold. I’ll pitch with them again for sure.

In a world....

[Deep, movie-preview, VO]
In a world where Spotify playlist promoters use sketchy automated methods to fulfill their paid-for promises, a hero arises.
Which is Moonstrive Media. My experience was great, they put my track on a very popular playlist and it got tons of streams. Not a lot of followers from it though, but I'll own that (my track wasn't brilliant). That said, the followers I did get from it seem all the more legit because of it.
You don't want Spotify pulling your tracks because of dodgy bot behavior. You want real live people who hear your tracks and want more. You want what Moonstrive provides.

Finally a good playlist promotion service

I've used a few playlist promotion services in the past and the results have generally been poor. I heard about Moonstrive after a couple of bloggers and YouTube channels I follow and respect said that it was a service worth trying.
I've now run two campaigns with Moonstrive and have been happy with the results of each. I would happily use them again.

I like them

I like them! I’m doing another campaign with them soon. One of the few companies that are not botting streams/doing fake streams.

I thought I would try Moonstrive Media after doing a little research and recommendations and only wanted to use a genuine company no bots . I'm now on my 3rd campaign and I would highly recommend them to any artist trying to get their songs exposed to real listeners.
Happy with the results Streams and saves.

Finally a serious playlisting company

I ordered two times at moonstrive media for spotify promotion.
The promised stream count was 1000-15000 plays in 4 weeks.
I was placed in 4 playlists and got around 3700 streams.

When I noticed that some of the playlists are not that fitting for the song, I wrote
the support and they were really friendly and flexible for my request.
I got placed onto another playlist that fitted better.

For the second time, I had the same issue, that the playlists were not 100% in the
genre of the song (this is what is not guaranteed but many artists would prefer this tbh),
again the support was very obliging and suggested me other playlists, that my
song could be placed on. When the promised follower count did not fullfill the 100k followers,
that were promised in the package, I received a generous refund.

Moonstrive is one of the serious playlisting agencys out there. The playlists
are grown organically and these are real listeners. I can only recommend and will order
again from them.

I've had a great experience so far with Moonstrive Media. I've run two promotions and got a nice bump in monthly listeners and plays on the promoted track. Many listeners drop off after the promotional period, but that's to be expected since it's pulled from the playlist. On the other hand, I see that some stay, which helps build followers.

Moonstrive Really Works

Moonstrive is a good playlisting company. I have gotten honest results from their playlisting campaigns. Currently on my 3rd campaign with them. I highly recommend them as an integral part of a music promotion strategy.

Great experience with Moonstrive

I promoted a "retro pop" song through Moonstrive Media recently. They promoted the song on three genre-appropriate playlists on Spotify. The playlists totaled about 150,000 followers. At the end of the promotion I had about 4000 streams. The song was saved quite a few times as well. I was happy with my experience and would have no problem using them again.
