Does PlaylistLookup check playlists for bots?
PlaylistLookup has a playlist health check that estimates whether a playlist has real listeners. It scans the Discovered On sections of the artists in the playlist and adds a listener estimate and an AI assessment. It is an estimate, not proof that a playlist is botted. In our checks, the Discovered On sections of very big artists mostly list very big playlists, so when all the artists in a playlist are very big, not being listed says little. Every plan includes checks each month: Free 1 health check, Premium 15 health checks, Pro 50 health checks. PlaylistSupply also checks playlists against Discovered On: PlaylistVet on its Viral and Record Label plans, and a free Playlist Checker with a free account. Its Playlist Checker compares the first 30 featured artists and reports a "quality rate".
