PlaylistOwl
​Why do music professionals use artist.tools over PlaylistOwl?
🤖 Bot Detection
Botted playlists and playlist scams are a plague for small artists.
PlaylistOwl doesn't provide any insight into whether a playlist is botted, authentic, growing, or inactive, which is a liability for any artist.
That's why industry professionals rely on our database of playlist scam networks and comprehensive bot detection for playlists, artists, and tracks.
🔎 Advanced Search vs. Basic Search
Put simply, PlaylistOwl search filters are very basic.
On artist.tools, you can filter by just about anything you could imagine. Followers, listeners, contact type, botted, not botted, includes an artist, includes a phrase, doesn't include a phrase, etc... the list goes on.
Our search interface was designed to cover a variety of use cases.
For example:
Spot emerging trends by filtering for high-growth playlists under a certain size.
Find playlists on SubmitHub that include songs from Post Malone, a similar artist to you.
Filter playlist quality low to high to educate yourself on popular playlist scam networks.
