What it does well, and where it falls short
Pros
Cons
isitagoodplaylist scores playlist quality, and its analysis is detailed: genres, follower history, stream estimates, “Discovered On” data. Reading it is up to you.
We give every playlist a digestible rating, based on factors like:
We also track known playlist scam networks (think WAVR.ai, artister.io) to flag new playlists from them automatically, and alert you when anything you save picks up bot activity.
isitagoodplaylist matches playlists to your track with AI and filters its curator database. On artist.tools, you can filter by just about anything: followers, listeners, contact type, botted or not, includes an artist, includes or excludes a phrase, and more.
For example:
We record much more than daily follower growth and track changes: listeners, popularity scores, fraud alerts and more, for every playlist we track.
isitagoodplaylist is focused on playlists. artist.tools tracks artists, tracks, playlists and curators, so you get the full picture, from a curator’s other playlists to every placement a track has.
