Promo offer checker
Is this promo offer legit?
Paste the offer from your DMs or inbox, or add a screenshot. See the red flags, the good signs, and what to ask before you pay anything. Free, no account.
What it checks
01
The promises
Guaranteed streams, placements or coverage, prices per stream, "100% real" claims.
02
The money
Fees to be signed, booked or placed, fees to release money, payments you can't get back.
03
The sender
Lookalike web addresses, big names borrowed to look real, requests for your login.
Built on the rules Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, the major distributors and the FTC publish themselves. It judges the offer, not the people: it never calls a company a scam, it shows you the signs.
Questions
Is the promo offer checker free?
Yes. No account, no card. Paste the offer or upload a screenshot and you get the result on the same page.
Does Musuni keep what I paste?
No. We keep the result (the verdict, the kind of offer and which signs we found) to improve the checker, not the text. If you choose to share an offer to help other artists, we keep that one with email addresses, phone numbers, handles and link details removed, and we may quote it, with nothing that identifies you, in guides that warn artists. Screenshots are turned into text and then discarded.
Can it tell me an offer is safe?
No, and nothing honest can. It reads the words and the web addresses. It can't see whether a playlist is botted or whether the sender is who they claim. A clean result means no red flags in the wording, so still check the offer the ways the result lists.
How does it decide?
It checks the offer against the warning signs that Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, the major distributors and the FTC describe in their own guidance: guaranteed numbers, prices per stream, paying to be added, upfront fees to be signed or placed, requests for your login, payments you can't get back, lookalike web addresses and more. Where a rule exists, the result links to it.
Is paying for playlist submissions always a scam?
No. Paying for a curator to listen and reply, where they are free to say no, is a recognised model. Paying to be added is not: it breaks Spotify's rules and the listeners it brings rarely stay.
I already paid. What now?
Stop the campaign and ask for a refund in writing. If you paid by card or PayPal, open a dispute. If a playlist added your song, report it and tell your distributor you didn't buy streams. If you shared a login, change the password and turn on two-step verification.
Musuni is the manager every independent artist deserves.
The honest version of promotion: pitches you send yourself, ads in your own account, and a straight read on what's working. No bots, no promised streams, no cut of your money.
