In short
YouGrow runs YouTube music campaigns through Google ads. You pick a package size and a targeting option, and the price moves with both: its Tester package, 5k-8k views, is $187 with USA and Europe targeting. Each package is sold as a range of "highly targeted views guaranteed".

One guaranteed number, not a range
YouGrow sells each package as a range: 10k-15k views for its Starter, 20k-30k for Rising Artist, 55k-75k for Superstar. Its page explains that the views are TrueView views, but it does not say whether the guaranteed figure is the bottom or the top of the range. On its Starter, that is the difference between 10,000 and 15,000 views.
Every Blue Leopard Media package names one number of views, counted by Google Ads in your report. That number is the minimum you get, in every market.
| Package | Price | Worldwide | US + Top markets | US only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $249 | 15,000+ | Worldwide only | Worldwide only |
| Pro | $499 | 50,000+ | 24,000+ | 15,000+ |
| Breakout | $1,299 | 200,000+ | 80,000+ | 50,000+ |
| Headline | $2,999 | 500,000+ | 192,000+ | 120,000+ |
US + Top markets means the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Mexico and Brazil, with at least 40% of views from the US. For a like-for-like check: YouGrow's Starter, 10k-15k views with global targeting, is $277. Our Starter guarantees 15,000+ views worldwide for $249, with a feature and a cover included.
If a campaign falls short, your ads keep running at our cost until they reach the number, so you get the views you paid for.
Room to grow past 75,000 views
YouGrow's largest published YouTube music package is Superstar, 55k-75k views, at $904 with global targeting and up to $1,430 for USA only.
Blue Leopard Media's Breakout guarantees 200,000+ views worldwide for $1,299, with two features and two covers. Headline guarantees 500,000+ worldwide, 192,000+ across the US and top markets, or 120,000+ in the US only, for $2,999, with four features and four covers. Record labels with several releases can take a monthly plan from $2,500, month to month, with 10% off when booking three months.
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.
On Pro you choose the market and the publication. Breakout adds a second feature, one before release and one after, and Headline includes four. YouGrow's YouTube music page lists ad campaigns and a subscriber-focused ad, and no editorial feature or press.
If Google rejects your video, you know the outcome
YouGrow's FAQ says that if a campaign runs into a restriction, it appeals and looks for workarounds before discussing alternatives with you. Its refund policy gives a 14-day window, says it may keep 6% of a refund for processing fees, and says nothing about ads Google will not approve.
With Blue Leopard Media, we check your video against Google's ad policies and your campaign goes live as soon as Google approves it, usually within one business day. If Google does not approve it, we tell you why, appeal, and tell you 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. That is written into our refund policy.
