What you get.
And what you don't.

No inflated promises. We explain exactly what happens after a submission – so you can decide if this is right for you.

What you get

Every submission goes through the same process. No exceptions, no short version.

01
Mix / Mastering
Sound quality and overall production level
02
Song Structure
Arrangement, dynamics, tension and release
03
Originality
Artistic independence and creative voice
04
Vocals / Performance
Interpretation, expression, timing
05
Melody / Harmony
Catchiness and tonal coherence
06
Playlist Fit
Does the track match the playlist's sound and audience?

Each category is scored and commented on individually – in writing, by a human. Plus a clear decision: accepted or rejected. No silence, no ghosting.

What we don't promise

We'd rather tell you upfront what we can't deliver than disappoint expectations later.

  • No guaranteed streams, no viral growth – that's not in our hands.
  • No acceptance guarantee – curators decide editorially, independently of us.
  • No established major platform – Playlist Jungle is building up. You're among the first.

How we make money

You buy credits to submit songs. Part covers platform costs, part goes directly to the curators. No hidden model.

Your contribution
€9.99 – €26.99
Depending on the credit package. One-time, no subscription.
Curator compensation
€3.00 per review
Regardless of outcome. So only playlist fit matters – not flattery.
Platform operations
Server & development
Tech, support and ongoing development.

Because curators receive the same pay whether they accept or reject – they have no financial incentive to tell you what you want to hear. That's intentional.

Planned 30-day placement on acceptance

If accepted, a 30-day placement is planned from successful addition. Spotify outages or actions outside our control may affect the actual duration.

  • Planned 30-day placement from successful addition
  • No guaranteed streams or reach
  • Extension requests are reviewed editorially again
  • No extension without a completed new review

No AI songs – and we mean it

Playlist Jungle is a platform for human music, human curators and human feedback. Suspected cases are reviewed and may be rejected. Account restrictions only take effect after an appropriate review and can be appealed via support.

Why this clear line? Because curators invest time and energy in every review. That energy deserves real music – not machine-generated output. We also protect the integrity of our playlists and their followers.

Credits: validity

Purchased credits are valid until December 31 of the third year following purchase. The exact expiry date is shown in your account.

  • Long and flexible to use
