My experience with Boost Collective was extremely disappointing. They placed my songs on 30 playlists, but the streams were almost nonexistent. Most of the playlists had nothing to do with my genre and looked like pay‑for‑placement lists with no real listeners.
Before the placements even happened, I contacted them to cancel after seeing a legitimate review showing their campaigns deliver very little movement. Instead of being transparent, they pushed upsells, “free campaigns,” and other services, but never once mentioned that refunds were supposedly not allowed.
Then, after only three days, they canceled my campaign but claimed they couldn’t refund me because it had “already started.” All communication happened before playlisting, which makes it feel like they rushed the order just to block a refund.
As of 1/8/2026, the campaign shows canceled on their site, but no refund has been issued. The entire process felt misleading and not customer‑focused. If you want to avoid unexpected charges, remove your default payment method — there’s no reason they should keep it on file.
Boost Collective did not deliver value, transparency, or honesty in my experience.
Order#338063 after emails back and forth BC rep claims songs are still up and running. I will not waist energy going and checking one by one, but I will end by saying I have 2 songs on Boost Collective and 2 songs on a another playlist placement agency where I gained 1000 plus streams vs 13 streams in 24 hrs (1/8/2026). Note the other agency started 1 day later than Boost Collective(real playlist that were similar to our genre) I will not post the other agency name! I wish all was different for my experience but if I had to describe BC in one word without being harsh, it be “misleading”.
Message to BC: please do not try to offer me more free campaigns or incentives, you had your chance to make things right from the get go.
