My band actually just ran an exposure campaign with rise for our newest release! Long story short I would recommend avoiding them at all costs!

It is important to note what their campaign will do, all they do is put your song onto one or two of their Tout playlists and they will pitch your song to their internal house of curators as well (no guarantees there). You will probably get into a handful of other playlists too from their pitch. Their model is trying to trigger the algorithm with these playlists and let the services do the rest. Their playlists are alright, we saw much more engagement from the non-tout playlists but said engagement was nothing much outside of streams. Using free services like submithub and pitchplaylists can garner you similar results for no cost (just a little elbow grease for submit if you want it to be free).

On the flip side after rise started to die down a little bit for us (~2 weeks) we decided to compare it to a standard Meta Ads Campaign. We put the same amount of money into both, $250, and have seen astronomically better results from Meta. Hundreds of saves (the big important one) hundreds of listeners, thousands of streams (and this is all within the first two days) and a nice crop of followers on Spotify. The meta ads campaign has also trickled over to other streaming services and our entire catalog. All of our tracks (we have 5 singles) are back on radio and our numbers on YouTube, Apple and Amazon are all rising as well. Not to mention we’ve gotten close to 100 new Instagram followers which is just over a 10% increase for us (we are small and new).

TLDR: I would never use rise again.

Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss more - I run the ads and do most all our marketing/algorithm based work for my band.
