Do IndieMono playlists have real listeners?
IndieMono has better playlist quality than most free services — they vet curators and the playlists typically have real, engaged listeners. Placement on a 5,000-follower IndieMono playlist is worth more than a 100,000-follower bot-heavy playlist.
Should I use both Autohype and IndieMono?
Yes — they're not competing for the same budget. IndieMono is free and takes 15 minutes to submit. Autohype handles daily TikTok automation. Both running simultaneously covers TikTok discovery AND Spotify internal discovery at the same time.
Which drives more monthly listeners — playlists or TikTok?
TikTok via Autohype has a higher ceiling and more consistent volume. A single playlist placement drives listeners once. Daily TikTok posts create 30 opportunities per month for viral breakout. For sustained growth, TikTok wins over time.
