ELITE review on AR (by SOUNDR)
I have used the ELITE review option for my new song.
Very positive surprised about the feedback quality!
The review by SOUNDR was very constructive, helpful and overall she took the time to vote, write and to record a video message about. I really appreciate this artist to artist feedback and received some very helpful comments. Thanks SOUNDR! :)

STOLE MY MONEY!
I ran a grow with us campaign with Artist Republik. I got 0 followers from the campaign and it's been marked as complete. I've emailed them 3 times about this and they have never emailed back. They stole my money and now won't even respond to support emails. I've filed a complaint with my bank to get my money back. STAY AWAY from this company. They are literal thieves.
EDIT: The response below from this company is completely inaccurate. They claim they started another campaign for me for double the amount of followers but instead after multiple emails back and forth, they just refunded me and told me that I could make another order if I wanted to. Don't let this company fool you with blatantly false responses like the one below.
EDIT 2:
The company has now changed their response. Though they are still being untruthful. They would have kept my money and never responded to a single email if I hadn't posted this review. Now they're asking for me to change my review because they have now given me the refund I requested weeks earlier. They did not offer anything else in return but said that I should just make another order with them. Seems like another attempt to steal my money again.

Michael,
We apologize for the inconvenience. We have sent you an email explaining the situation and we have provided you with a full refund for the order. At no point time do we steal money or avoid responding to our users, but you also have to remember every service on our website is organic and real, we cannot just make followers appear over night. Advertising campaigns take a while to grow and we are working diligently to help your campaign run successfully. please stay in touch.

They're a good organization, BUT...
They're a good organization, I just wished they functioned more efficiently and customer friendly.

I thought everything was going great…
Updated again (and dropped another star, Sept 2021):
My tracks have still not been fully restored to the streaming services for which I paid them to be on. I have emailed and messaged their support many times this past month and received NO response to any message. I seriously believe they may be going out of business and will avoid using them to distribute any more of my music.
I have reached out to Spotify and SoundCloud support as an artist and received almost immediate help from both; they both say "Artist Republik deleted your tracks and I need to contact them to have them re-submitted." Believe me, I've been trying... Next step is to request take-downs through A.R. and re-submit through another distributor
Updated review (and dropped a star, Aug 2021): Recently I was notified by A.R. my two releases had been removed from several major streaming sites for some reason, but that this affected hundreds of thousands of tracks from multiple distributors. They implied my tracks would be back up within 2 weeks. Over two weeks later, my tracks are still offline.
To me the one core task a distributor has to do well is get the music on the networks. Unfortunately my experience in the two months since I started releasing music on A.R. has not been great with regards to this. And I feel like the additional money I spend on their advertising service (playlisting, blog posts, etc) was essentially wasted because any followers I gained will now not be able to find my music.
ORIGINAL REVIEW (June 2021): I thought everything was going great with my first two releases through Artist Republik... until I realized they didn’t appear on about half the promised streaming platforms, including Apple, Google (YT music), last.fm, iheart, etc. With other questions I asked, their customer service was always quick to respond; but I’ve reached out to them twice about this concern now and no response at all. It will make me seriously have to reevaluate distributors options for my next releases. An explanation, apology, and/or action to get my songs to the services they promised would be appreciated!

Kenzie,
We are so sorry for this confusion and problems, we have been having problems with apple and have been working with them for the past two weeks to fix these issues, we are proud to say that the issue has been fixed and we are now working to get your music on those networks:)

Kinda works...
I paid around $10 just to try out their Spotify growth promotion. Even though I got the followers as promised, my monthly listeners did not go up at all, which is concerning since the promo offered "real" fans and followers.
Response from artistrepublik.comJun 10, 2021
Hey! so the way our promotion system works is its designed like a "like" or "follow" campaign on facebook or instagram- we only track the conversion of a follower due to the limitations of tracking streams- also the reason monthly listeners do not just "skyrocket" over night is because these are legit promotions and the way followers work is based on algorithms, so if you get say 100 followers, they dont all stream your music immediately but rather everytime you release a song, your song shows up on their discover weeklys, or new music fridays, release radars and other playlists. When growing followers on any network it is a long term play and not a get rich quick. anything that will get you rich quick will most certaintly get you kicked off these networks due to it not being legit.

Used their playlist pitching service
Used their playlist pitching service. Completely Fake.
A track of mine got added to 5 different playlists totaling 55K followers, and I got 0 plays out of it after 5 days... that's impossible. It's one thing if the number of plays was low, but absolutely none? (and I did confirm that I was added to the lists). The worst is that these playlists sometimes charges 5 - 10 times what the average is because of the number of followers, who turn out to be fake.
Don't waste your money on these guys.

Jean, we cannot express how apologetic we are for this lack of quality. Building this platform over the past 14 months we have continuously fought to be the pillar of trust and high quality services but with some services, especially the curator system, it can be easily tainted through the malicious intentions of a few of the third party vendors who provide feedback services and own playlists. With that being said we are working everyday to make sure our vendors provide the same quality that we expect and hold ourselves to. If you can reach out to our support email and send them the playlists in which you had this problem with we will make sure to permanently remove them from our platform immediately and continue to strictly enforce the quality of our services.
We hope we can regain your trust in the future and look forward to continuing to improve our product offerings.
