​Why do music professionals use artist.tools over IndieMono?

🔎 Advanced Search vs. Basic Search


IndieMono Submit only lets you search by genre, so you can't get very specific.


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.


Spend less time searching and more time submitting!

🤖 Bot Detection


If you're an artist in the Playlist Submission scene, it's imperative you know which playlists are botted, and which aren't. 


The risks just aren't worth it. You can stunt your growth, get excluded from the algorithm, or even banned.


With that said, IndieMono doesn't need a feature like this because they only take submissions on playlists they own/curate, and they're legit.


It's just a very important note to hit home.


✅ IndieMono is verified authentic & bot-free by artist.tools.
