What problems does ReleaseNav solve?
Does this sound like you?
Your release tools are scattered
Artwork in Canva, notes in a Google Doc, costs in a spreadsheet, or whatever mix you use today. ReleaseNav brings it all into one account, every release in the same place.
Spotify deadlines slip past you
Spotify's pitch window is easy to miss. ReleaseNav counts backwards from release day and emails you in time.
You can't tell what actually worked
A playlist add looks good on paper, but doesn't always mean real listeners. Import your SubmitHub and Musosoup reports and ReleaseNav matches placements to the streams they actually earned you.
Pitching takes too much time
Rewriting pitches for every outlet is slow. ReleaseNav drafts an AI-tailored pitch for each platform, and reminds you to follow up after you send it.
No credit card required.
Everything your release needs
See which platform and which playlist actually produced streams
Upload the reports you can export from SubmitHub, Musosoup and Spotify for Artists. ReleaseNav puts your spend next to your playlist streams per platform and per playlist, and works out the cost per stream.

Never miss the Spotify pitch window

Is this just another dashboard you will abandon?
Fair question. Here is how ReleaseNav is built so it does not become one more tab you stop opening.
Setup takes minutes
A title and a release date are enough to get your first timeline. You can fill in the rest whenever you feel like it.
It comes to you
Deadline reminders arrive by email, so you do not have to remember to log in to stay on top of a release.
Nothing gets deleted
Your releases, pitches, and history aren't removed just because you stop logging in or stay on the free plan. You can delete everything yourself, permanently, whenever you want. Free plans are capped at 1 active and 5 past releases. Existing releases are never removed, but adding a new one beyond that limit requires deleting an old one or upgrading.
Simple pricing
Start free with one active release. Upgrade when your next one is coming, or when you want more AI cover art and video generation each month.

Frequently asked
- Do I need my own AI keys?
- No. Cover art, video, and pitch writing run through ReleaseNav on the paid plans, so there is nothing to set up or configure.
- Which platforms does ReleaseNav connect to?
- ReleaseNav tracks Spotify editorial pitch timing and syncs stats from your connected YouTube account. For curator platforms like SubmitHub and Musosoup, ReleaseNav drafts your pitch and helps you plan and log it - you still submit it yourself on that platform. Afterward, you can import your results from those platforms to see what each campaign delivered.
- Is my unreleased music private?
- Yes. Every release is locked to your account, your music is never used to train AI models, and your press kit is public only when you turn it on.
Your next release deserves a plan
