Paste a playlist link. SpotCheck reads its public Spotify data and gives you a 0 to 100 bot-risk score with the reasons, in about ten seconds. If your distributor has sent an artificial streaming warning, scan every playlist behind it at once.
Your first check needs no account and no Spotify login. Try an example.
Paste the playlist links from your Spotify for Artists page, up to 50 at once. SpotCheck shows which ones show bot-farm patterns and drafts your reply to the distributor.
Your first scan needs no account. A free account gets two a day, no card. A scan that finds nothing gives you the full report and the reply for free.
What the score reads
Every check shows its working. These are the public signals the score is built from, and a worked example of how a high-risk result reads.
Spotify scores every track from 0 to 100 on how much it is played. Over 10,000 followers on tracks that score 5 or less is the clearest bought-follower tell.
Over 10,000 followers for every track is rare for a real list. It is flagged unless the tracks are clearly being played, so big brand playlists stay clean.
Organic lists grow steadily. Where SpotCheck has recorded a playlist's followers, a sudden jump or a steady drop adds weight.
A keyword-stuffed name on a large list, a blank description, or a follower count in exact thousands each add a little.
A second model, Jev, reviews each verdict and can raise it. The full method is in how the score works.

Who built it
I'm Chris Schofield. I work as a music promoter in the UK, and I built SpotCheck to answer the question that comes before any playlist money changes hands: is this list real?
It runs under Total Audio Promo, my small UK company. If a score looks wrong, email info@totalaudiopromo.com with the link and I will look at it myself.
Questions
Yes. Paste a playlist link and you get the score and the reasons with no account and no Spotify login. After that, a free account gets three checks and two warning scans a day, still with no card.
Only Spotify and your distributor know that for certain. SpotCheck scores each playlist on your Spotify for Artists page for bot-farm patterns, so you know which curators to contact first and which ones to ask for a removal.
I don't publish an accuracy percentage yet, because I haven't got a labelled set of real playlists big enough to quote one honestly. The method is published in full instead, and every result shows the signals behind its score so you can judge it yourself.
It only reads public Spotify playlist data. It never asks for your Spotify login and never sees your listening history or private playlists. Your data is not sold.
Pro is £4.99 a month for every signal on every check, the warning report and drafts, and up to 50 playlists in one paste. Premium is £14.99 a month and adds daily watching of up to 25 playlists, with an email when one spikes, drops or removes your track. Pro has a 7-day trial: Stripe takes your card, the first charge is on day 8, and cancelling before then costs nothing.
artist.tools is a full Spotify data suite. SubmitHub and artist.tools both have free single-playlist checkers. SpotCheck does one job: it checks a playlist before you pay for it, or scans the playlists behind a distributor warning. There is a page for each comparison under Compare.
