Don't Waste You Money - Zero Support

We have been with them for many years, wasting $thousands in subscription fees. Had lots of social media sync problems over the last year, (if you can't sync social media then this is pointless), they use to answer support emails but no longer do. They DO NOT Care about their customers at all, ZERO support. The whole platform is just set up to cash in on artists ego, it does you no good at all. Cancelling our subscription & leaving the platform after 8 years. Enough is Enough.

Reverbnation Crowd Reviews

If I could, I would award ZERO stars. Their crowd reviews is the subject matter of laughter and not to be taken seriously. It casts a light on suspicion also, as I received an almost identical review that another artist received, who is also on these pages. The same thing happened with me - ABUSE after ABUSE after ABUSE. For one song I was awarded 4/10 and the second song 5/10. They claimed they didn't like anything about my songs or my music. It casts a shadow of a doubt over them because the abusive report I received was either orchestrated by a programmed AI robotic system or a bunch of nasty school children, because the report is IDENTICAL to the other review on this trustpilot site. I have been told independently by other people that I sound very good and I have the voice of an angel, that is not what it said in that horrible report. Why bother listening to something that one does not like? It is simpler to just turn off or stop playing it. If they were real people who reviewed me, all they had to do was to stop listening to it and just state that they didn't like the song. Not everyone has the same music tastes. I will not be using this crowd review service again and to anyone contemplating paying for a crowd review on Reverbnation, I strongly advise you to NOT do it, because you will become the victim of BULLYING ABUSE.

I used the site for about 3 years and have pretty good perspective. Obviously, I'm not rating it well for some strong reasons, so I'll start with those. First - many better music distribution options (CD Baby, Distrokid, etc) that have a 1 time setup fee and then perpetually collect royalties. Reverbnation charges more, charges yearly, and takes a bigger cut. And - if you don't use reverberation for distribution, you have NO WAY of collecting royalties for plays on their site...no matter how many. Second - the whole "charts" is a sham, and its a way for them to sell you promotion for plays that rank your chart. Third - you are primarily marketing to other musicians and bands, which is just kinda flawed entirely. Fourth - the yearly fees for use are not in line with other options. Fifth - opportunities - regardless of having many songs "curated" by the site, I've only been sent through to maybe a couple "opportunities" (which many of those opportunities are available free with just a little searching). There are SOME positives. Their AD sets seem to actually publish to decent sites, but I don't think are as cost effective as other marketing options. The ADs seem to be "rigged" to where they throttle the amount of ADs displaying your songs to achieve a certain amount of exposure and pull back AD count if you getting too many plays, I've seen this. They seem to allow 10%-20% views to plays ratios, but if you start exceeding that (and I have), they throttle back the amount of ads. It's a strange thing. So for 100 ad views, you can expect between 5-20 song plays, regardless of your weekly "budget." So I think there are other better marketing options too. Hope this is helpful

Scam with N1M

Should be 0 stars. Reverbnation seems to be linked with another scam site, Number One Music. Almost impossible to get out of. Unsubscribing does not work for N1M who continue to send emails. Searches for a solution are sent to Reverbnation, so there is a clear link between the two parasitic scam sites. Help!
