You already listen to new music all day. Playlist Raid pays you in credits to do it with structure — verified follower tracking, real reputation, and a community of other curators instead of a DM inbox full of cold pitches.
Our inaugural cohort of 50 Founding Curators has officially been locked in! While founder spots are now closed, all approved curators earn 80% of review fees (up to $16/review), receive direct Stripe bank payouts, and can collaborate with top curators in Curator Guilds.
Curators keep 80% of review fees. Set your own rate from 1 to 20 credits ($0.80 to $16.00 cash per review) with direct Stripe & PayPal payouts. You earn on every completed review whether you accept or decline — keeping curation 100% compliant with Spotify rules.
Coming soon: Optionally accept free submissions to build algorithmic traction. Submitting artists will save, follow, and stream your playlist on Spotify — driving crucial follower velocity and save ratios that trigger Spotify algorithm recommendations in search and radio.
Score tracks on mix quality, arrangement, originality, and commercial fit. Your Track Record and approval rate are visible on your public profile — good work compounds.
Band together with other curators in your genre, split incoming pitches, and share a collective bank. Guilds rank up from Novice to Master as the collective grows.
Browse artist showcases and scout promising music you love into your Guild — an organic A&R engine to find great indie tracks and connect with rising artists.
Sign up with your Spotify playlist link — playlists with as few as 100 followers are accepted! Playlist Raid is an open social creator platform where emerging curators can grow playlists alongside fellow curators, share curation advice on our community Song Board, and collaborate with larger curators by joining Curator Guilds.
Curators set their own pitch prices (up to $16/review) and keep 80% of every fee with direct Stripe bank payouts. Note: Our inaugural 50 Founding Curator spots are now fully claimed, but all active curators earn direct payouts on approved reviews.
