ReverbNation Reviews 

Hint: Get on their mailing list. For all the emails they send, submit your music directly to the company, just don't go through them. (That is, if that company even exists because a lot of time it doesnt.)

I paid 25 dollars for a promotion. money went out to them, it ended there. No sign of any promotion whatsoever. Ripoff Artists.

Three songs from my debut music album Fractured, were selected by Reverbnation Curators, over five years ago. I have heard nothing since.

I have been the number 1 music artist, in every music category, for the whole of the United Kingdom, many times, in those six years.

I have been, the number 1 songwriter in the world, on Reverbnation.

And still, I don’t have a song good enough, for a crowd pick on Reverbnation🤔.

The songs I tried for crowd picks were songs called, Pride Comes Before The Fall, You Say We’ve Lost Our Touch, Political Correctness. The songs scored 7.3. You need 7.5. Check the songs out for yourself. Search for 1Spike😘

Kind of makes you wonder, if the number 1 artist in every music category in the United Kingdom, and the number 1 songwriter in the world, hasn’t got a song good enough for a crowd pick on Reverbnation, then what chance has anyone else got?

Also, when you check out a lot of the artist being selected for crowd picks and opportunities, on Reverbnation, the profiles look very, very, suspect.

The people at the top of the charts on Reverbnation, don’t seem to have any other online presence, except for Reverbnation🤨🤔🤔🤔

I have removed a lot of my songs from ReverbNation.

After six years of being on Reverbnation, I am starting to feel like, it’s been 6 years wasted 😥

Also, I had six years of having an account with #Reverbnation, with very little problems at all. But as soon as I got to be, the number 1 songwriter in the world, the account gets suspended, and I have to start again from scratch.🤨

Sounds like a very big con. #ConArtist

They restored me back to 1 1 1 4 this afternoon. But they can stick their rankings, up their ass.

Reverdnation is an absolute rip off and when your account expires if your files are too big you can't even listen to them as the owner of the profile. I have gotten way better results from YouTube and Facebook for free.

I personally believe that reverbnation is a scam 100% after using their service for months I didn’t see or get any results.

They will continue to charge you after cancellation. Months of $20 charges on my account while my account status is CLEARLY "inactive" (even says so on their site) and I have gone back and forth with their "help center" a number of times. RIP. OFF. Oh, and they do that thing where you can't get into your account and delete your credit card info after you sign up for a service.

I’ve had music on this site for years and nothing has came from it. I’ve paid money to promote songs submitted for thousands of offers just for me to NEVER get one yet I have a 100k streams on a few platforms but on reverbnation it seems like they just sale you dreams and ideas to get your money knowing nothing will manifest

After 2 years of paid distribution I canceled the 3 year. I was really sick at the time and may have crossed over them taking the funds. I contacted paypal for as refund. Reverbnation had every opportunity to contest this refund in accordance with the paypal agreement! ReverbNation then blocked my account holding my song’s, info and royalties hostage until I reversed the refund! Even though they were paid in full and held my money for 20 days before the refund they claim it was a chargeback when it was a non-contested refund! Even though the refund closed the transaction they claim it’s still open!

I have been a marketing professional in the music industry and in the 'real world' for almost 30 years. I am also a professional musician.

ReverbNation's promotional tools are smoke and mirrors. Their stats on the paid campaigns are nonsense. When questioned about the stats, they send a boilerplate email explaining the difference between 'views' and 'engagement' which I already knew. NO responses that explain how they justify the results they report on your investment in their ad campaigns.

Simply put: ReverbNation is a rip off. I neglected to check the Better Business Bureau on them before spending over $400 on an ad campaign. If I had, I would see how many complaints are similar to mine.

BEWARE OF REVERBNATION. Do not give them your money. It goes down a digital black hole and they cannot match their stats on the campaign, with the actual engagement you will see in your emails, new fans, or social media. When questioned for real data, they ignore you.

Spend your money on a website for your music or do your own social media posting. Spend your time on your Music, your Art...and save yourself some money and tons of frustration / feeling ripped off.

I found charges on my debit card that I did not pay for. This is really unnerving as they do it very silently.
-$1.30
-$19.99. (I payed for..)
-$35.00 (WHAT?!)
-$35.00 (I DIDN'T PAY FOR THIS...)

Thank goodness that I saw that they were stealing my money. This site is a big fraud and it is disgusting. Do not use this site, they just want your money. I have gotten only constant spam messages that I got a new opportunity and I HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY, etc... just no :/

Not only have Reverbnation too what i so believe to be deliberate, had deleted my entire Reverbnation artist page on the 8th September 2020, having got personal with me over a genuine question relating to my data being asked, resulting in the loss of all my music, images, 1612 fans erased and I am deeply annoyed with them for what they have done..

All because I had done a google search of my name and found untold images of myself in Google images from Reverbnation and other platforms that I have joined up to in the past, but more so Reverbnation and I merely asked if they are sharing my data with Google. An answer was received, yet it was a personal attack against me for no reason.

There was no need to be referred to as Dear 'TRUST'...that is not my name, yet I was referred to as that. Upon trying to log into my Reverbnation page, i was no longer able to do so, upon reading an e-mail, I did not request for my account to be closed, yet that is what Reverbnation had done and had stated that i had mentioned...How can I ever forgive them..I want my entire music back and they have prevented me from even downloading my data....a copyright issue as i may need to sort advice over this!

I wrote a song for my late best friend Jennifer. It was on there for years. Now it is gone. Luckily I can still play her song but you POS stole it and I want it back, I hope to god I find the band who stole my dead friends song because I'm gonna give it to you. F U

I think reverbnation gets a bad rep, but I've always found it to be a useful resource for musos. I think it can be one piece for your online exposure.

Awful, I think they should probably be investigated for fraud?

Member for many years promoting 2 artists. ReverbNation did not build up fan following as we expected, despite spending a few thousand dollars on their promotional programs. The main fans you get are other musicians. This is not good. They really are not your fans, but just followed you so you will follow back. I recently thought there was a credit fraud on my account and told card company to hold charges from ReverbNation. I found out the charges were legitimate (my oversight) and told my credit card company to go ahead and pay ReverbNation. I explained situation to ReverbNation, but they locked my account and closed it. Good riddance. You will do much better advertising on local newspapers/magazines, Facebook Ads, Instagram Boost, and Google Ads. Much cheaper, much more targeted towards your ideal fan, and truly organic (real) followers.

Reverbnation by Eminor is a total rip-off!
Not only I did not get the service I paid for, they pulled a dirty trick on me via Paypal and litherally stole around 100$ from me.

I paid for their Promote It service for 3 different advertisements for my albums. Waited 3 days and yet. Nothing happened. Therefore I cancelled their service but when I recieved no refund I complained on them trough paypal only for them to pretend I got said refund so I then pull off my complaint on paypal yet to descover that I have been blocked from their service and am not able to use my refund anymore for their future service, as well as solve the dispute at paypal to get my money back as these scoundrels used a wicked way by not supplying me with cancelation number for my order.

These people are dirty scoundrels and I was innocent enough to believe they will actually supply me a service and I will get something in return... They are very wicked in how they settled me with their scam. I lost money over nothing.

Stay away from these scoundrells of Reverb Nation!

They robbed me ... I have already won 2 court cases against them. I have a 3rd one in progress and will probably have to open a fourth one as they are collecting my royalties. They closed my account so I can not collect the money.

When i first signed in, I could find use of this website but not anymore.

I recently wanted to simply change my name and keep this account but I couldn't do that ...so I just removed it.

To be honest I think spotify or even lastFM can replace whatever reverbnation is offering.

This site is ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY USELESS. All they do is charge you monthly fee and try to sell you more stuff so that they can charge you twice as much. I fell for it once, but quickly cancelled. I have my music on the site for years now, it had ZERO benefit for me except that I posted my songs and videos on that site. This, by the way, was also a big mistake because just having a website and a YouTube channel would have done soo much more for me. Now it’s just difficult to transfer the stuff from one place to another. There isn’t a single artist who was helped and become known through this bogus site. If you are a musician, please save your money for other things like streaming, or mentoring, or getting better at your craft. Reverbnation is useless.

They don't pay your royalties for stupid reasons. Do not work with this website.
