SubmitHub Alternatives [3 Sites That Work]

Music blogs and playlist curators have become the go-to way for artists to get their music heard. Our last post talked about some of the best free submission sites to submit your music to. While the idea of reaching out to blogs for features sounds simple, it can be a long process. Knowing which blogs fit your music and how each curator wants to receive music can become overwhelming. This is where SubmitHub comes into play.

SubmitHub helps artists to get on Spotify playlists, blogs, radio stations, and bridges the gap between influencers, Youtubers, labels and artists. By buying credits, submitters can submit music to varying forms of media outlets in order to get a wider reach. We already did a blog post that talks about

everything you need to know. If you are looking for more information on SubmitHub specifically you can check out our post here.

That being said, with everyone using SubmitHub you may be looking for other alternatives. Here at Neon Collective we are going to tell you about three alternative sites that offer similar features to SubmitHub to allow you to get more exposure.

PS. If you'd rather watch a video about it then can check out a video by Charles Cleyn on his experience with submithub and three alternatives he suggests.

1.Groover

About: Groover is a site that was launched in 2018. They connect artists with media, labels, and radio through their platform. They recognized that so much new music is getting released daily, but curators and media get overwhelmed by the high number of submissions which means that artists don’t often receive responses. Groover guarantees feedback with their Grooviz which are their virtual coins (more on this to come). Much like SubmitHub, users can send their music to varying outlets by creating an account and purchasing virtual currency.

Cost: You can purchase their Grooviz virtual coins at a cost of 1 euro per Grooviz. The cost to send your track to an influencer is 2 Grooviz. If the influencer gives at least 15 words of feedback they will be paid 1 Grooviz and Groover will keep 1 as commission. If within 7 days you haven’t received a response, you will get Grooviz back for those who did not provide feedback. You can also purchase Grooviz in bulk at a cheaper cost. For more information on their bulk pricing click here.

Groover has a helpful video that walks you through submitting your music, registering an account, and reviewing feedback on your music. You can watch it here!

2.Send It Right

About: Send It Right is a music submission site that allows the “submitter” (i.e. artist, management, etc.) to send their music release to a “media” (can be radio, playlist, ect.) to manage the music submission. Once submitting the submitter will receive positive or negative feedback from the media. Their team is made up of artists, songwriters, media, producers, and editors. Submissions can be done for blogs, playlists, A&R, and more.

Cost: Artists can submit their music to the media of their choice. The cost for this can range from 0-100 credits depending on the media with the cost per credit being 1 euro. The media can decline the submission and provide the submitter with feedback of at least 10 words, or approve the submission and finalize the process within 15 days of the approval, sending the submitter the link that proves the submission has been processed. If either of these fail to happen within the first 48 hours the submitter will be refunded their credits.
