How Long Does It Take for My Music to Go Live on Streaming Platforms?
Learn how long it typically takes for your music to be reviewed, approved, and delivered to streaming platforms after submitting your release through PlayGeet.
After you submit your release to PlayGeet, our team reviews your release to ensure it meets platform requirements. Once approved, your music is delivered to your selected streaming platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does PlayGeet take to review my release?
Core Plan releases are typically reviewed within 1 - 3 business days. Pro Plan releases receive Priority Review and are processed ahead of the standard review queue.

Why is my music live on Spotify but not Apple Music?
Each streaming platform processes releases independently, so your music may appear on some platforms before others.

If your release has exceeded the estimated review or delivery time, please contact the PlayGeet Support Team for assistance.
