SoundCampaign vs Blue Leopard Media: guaranteed YouTube views and press, from $249

In short

SoundCampaign sends your track to Spotify playlist curators and TikTok and Instagram creators for review, and also runs Meta ads for Spotify. You choose a budget and pay for completed reviews. Its terms of service say you are paying to get reviews for your track, not for placing it on playlists.

If what you need for a release is a set number of views and some press, Blue Leopard Media sells that as one package: a YouTube campaign through Google Ads with a guaranteed number of views, plus an editorial feature about you with your own digital cover. One payment per release, from $249.

Side by side

SoundCampaign details are from its own home, pricing and terms of service pages (terms last updated 27 September 2026), as read on 12 October 2026. Blue Leopard Media details are from our music marketing page and refund policy.

What is guaranteed: a view count you can check

With SoundCampaign, the thing you pay for is a review: its terms say the money buys reviews of your track, not placements on playlists, and its home page promises written feedback on every review. That suits an artist who wants feedback and a chance at playlists.

Blue Leopard Media works the other way round. Every package names one number of views, counted by Google Ads in your report, and that number is a guaranteed minimum in every market.

US + Top markets means the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Mexico and Brazil, with at least 40% of views from the US. If a campaign falls short, your ads keep running at our cost until they reach the number.

Refunds and credits, in writing

SoundCampaign's Artist Protection Program credits you back when a curator or creator does not review your track. Its terms of service also say it does not offer refunds for paid campaigns under any circumstances, and that credits returned to your balance cannot be withdrawn to a credit card or PayPal.

At Blue Leopard Media, the refund terms cover the case where Google declines your video. If that happens, we tell you why, appeal the decision and say which edit would fix it. If it still cannot be approved, you choose: a full refund of the package, or we use it for another song or release. The full terms are in our refund policy.

One price per release, and nothing renews

SoundCampaign lets you pick a budget, and its pricing page shows an estimate of what that budget may reach, with the note "Actual results vary." Its terms say Meta Ads campaigns renew automatically until you cancel, with no cancellation fee.

Blue Leopard Media prices each release on its own. Starter is $249, Pro $499, Breakout $1,299 and Headline $2,999. You know the view count before you pay, the price includes the ad budget, management and reports, and nothing renews afterwards. Record labels with several releases a month can take a monthly plan from $2,500, month to month.

Press included: a feature and a cover with every release

Views get your video seen. A feature gives people something to find when they search your name. Every Blue Leopard Media package includes an editorial feature written about you, with your name in the headline and your own digital cover to post and keep. You approve every word, and it goes live within 24 hours of your approval.

Breakout adds a second feature, one before release and one after, and Headline includes four features with four covers. SoundCampaign's home and pricing pages list curator, creator and Meta ad campaigns, not editorial features.
