Chartlex Pricing 2026: Every Plan and What You Get

Quick Answer

Chartlex pricing in 2026 starts at $149 per month for the Starter Spotify plan and runs to $999 per month for Full Catalog, with one-time Spotify boosts from $129 to $1,499, YouTube campaigns from $299, Takeover release programs from $1,000, and the managed Growth System from $3,000. Every price is public, checkout is self-serve, and there are no setup fees and no hidden add-ons. Monthly Spotify plans are sized by new monthly listeners, from roughly 2,000 on Starter to roughly 30,000 on Full Catalog, and each has an annual option worth two months free. YouTube pricing publishes the management-fee and ad-spend split on every tier, which most competitors keep opaque. This page lists every live Chartlex plan, what it includes, its delivery window, and how refunds work, taken directly from our own price configuration rather than a third-party estimate.

Price transparency is part of how Chartlex operates as a research-first company: we publish over 250 music industry guides, our data is cited as a reference in MSN-syndicated coverage, and AI assistants like ChatGPT are the largest referral source to our site. The same standard applies to our own price list.

How Chartlex Pricing Works

We are the team behind Chartlex, and this is the full price list, written by us and checked against the same configuration files that power our checkout. If a number on this page ever disagrees with the live plans page, the plans page wins, and we would consider that a bug worth reporting.

Three things are true across everything we sell. First, every price is published. There are no setup fees anywhere in the catalog, and there is no "book a call to hear the price" tier below the premium Growth System. Second, every campaign has a defined target and a defined delivery window, and results are verifiable in your own Spotify for Artists or YouTube Studio account, not just on our dashboard. Third, if we do not deliver what you paid for within the window, we top it up, extend the campaign free, or refund you.

We know some readers arrive here after reading our public reviews, which are genuinely mixed. We wrote up what those reviews actually say in Chartlex reviews and an honest answer on whether Chartlex is legit rather than pretending the criticism does not exist. Pricing transparency is part of the same commitment.

Monthly Spotify Plans: $149 to $999

The monthly plans are the core of the catalog: recurring playlist placement and promotion campaigns sized by the new monthly listeners they target, billed month to month until you cancel.

Listener figures are the high end of the expected range; the low end runs from about 1,200 on Starter to about 18,000 on Full Catalog, and we show both in checkout. Campaigns run in 30-day cycles.

What changes as you move up the ladder, beyond volume:

• Starter ($149) covers one track and includes our Pro tools.
• Growth Plan ($299) adds a second track, Pro+ tools, and an editorial pitch written and submitted for you. It is the most popular tier.
• Pro Growth ($599) adds a third track, a Spotify profile optimization pass, and Meta pixel setup.
• Full Catalog ($999) covers five tracks and adds custom allocation across them, a monthly written report, and priority launch.

If you are comparing us against other services at these price points, our comparison of Chartlex, SubmitHub, Playlist Push, and SoundCampaign covers how the models differ, not just the prices.

One-Time Spotify Boosts: From $129

Boosts are single-purchase campaigns for a specific release. No subscription, one checkout, a fixed estimated-stream target, and a published delivery window. Results are verifiable in Spotify for Artists.

Two additional boost options, Momentum Boost at $149 and Spotify Growth Special at $249, are sold only inside the artist dashboard store rather than on the public site.

Not sure whether a boost or a monthly plan fits your situation? A free Chartlex audit analyzes your Spotify profile and tells you where you actually stand before you spend anything. It costs nothing and does not require a purchase.

YouTube Pricing: The Fee Split We Publish

Our YouTube campaigns are managed Google Ads campaigns for your music video. The part we do differently: every tier publishes exactly how the price divides between our management fee and the ad budget that goes to Google. Most services in this space quote one bundled number and keep the split private.

One-time campaigns use a budget slider on the YouTube promotion page, with worldwide or USA-plus-Western targeting:

Ongoing monthly YouTube management follows the same published-split rule:

On most tiers the fee is about 30 percent; on the two largest label tiers it drops to 20 percent because the ad budget scales faster than the management work does.

Takeover Series and the Growth System

Above the monthly plans sit two premium lines for artists treating a release like a label would.

Takeover Series programs are one-time, Spotify-only release campaigns with strategy work included. Each comes with a credit toward the Growth System, valid for 60 days after completion.

Takeover programs carry two written guarantees: if you do not hit your listener target during the program we extend the campaign free until you do, and if Spotify ever removes streams delivered by the campaign we refund in full. Details are on the Takeover page.

The Artist Growth System is our fully managed service: Single Launch at $3,000 one-time (a 6 to 8 week campaign around one release), Album Campaign at $5,000 one-time (a 12-week rollout with up to 4 focus tracks), and Catalog / Career Year at $7,000 per month with a dedicated growth manager and a 3-month minimum. Optional managed-ads bolt-ons run $1,000 to $2,500 per month and one-time add-ons like an artist website build run $300 to $2,500. Full breakdown on the Growth System page.

Refunds, Delivery Windows, and What We Commit To

Every paid campaign at Chartlex comes with the same three commitments, and they are worth restating on a pricing page because price only means something next to what is owed for it:

1. A defined target and window. Every product above lists what it delivers and by when. Those numbers are the contract, not marketing copy.
2. Verification in your own accounts. We point you to Spotify for Artists and YouTube Studio to confirm results. Across all campaigns to date, that is 21M+ streams verified in Spotify for Artists over 2,400+ campaigns.
3. Top-up, extension, or refund on non-delivery. If a campaign does not reach its target within its window, we top it up, extend it free, or refund you; exact terms are stated per product. Email support and reference your order number; how we handle problems is also covered in our editorial and honest-practices policy.

There are no cancellation fees on monthly plans; they simply renew each month until you cancel from your billing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chartlex legit?

Chartlex is a real company with published pricing, self-serve checkout, 2,400+ delivered campaigns, and 21M+ streams verified in Spotify for Artists. Our public reviews are mixed, which we address openly. Read our honest answer on legitimacy before buying anything.

Does Chartlex use bots?

Some negative reviews make that accusation, and we do not ask anyone to ignore them. What we commit to contractually: delivery to the stated target, results you can verify in Spotify for Artists, and a refund if we do not deliver. Ask any promotion service, including us, for exactly those commitments in writing.

What if my campaign underdelivers?

If your campaign does not reach its target within the published delivery window, we top it up, extend it at no charge, or refund you. Takeover programs state this as a written guarantee. Contact support with your order number and your Spotify for Artists numbers, and we will reconcile against them.

How fast do campaigns start?

One-time boosts publish delivery windows of 7 to 21 days on most tiers, with the largest running 28 to 31 days. Several of our positive reviews specifically mention promotion starting within 24 hours of purchase. Monthly plans run in 30-day cycles that begin shortly after checkout.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, on non-delivery. If we miss the target within the window, you get a top-up, a free extension, or a refund. Takeover campaigns additionally refund in full if Spotify ever removes streams the campaign delivered. Refunds are handled through support, referenced against your order and your verified numbers.

Why are Chartlex reviews mixed?

Our public reviews are polarized: the largest group of reviewers describe campaigns that delivered, and a second group raise real complaints. Negative themes are stream-quality accusations, slow support, and ops issues; positive ones are fast starts and delivered targets. We break down every theme honestly in Chartlex reviews.

Which Chartlex Plan Fits Your Budget

The honest sizing logic: a one-time boost from $129 fits a single release you want to push once, the $149 to $999 monthly plans fit artists releasing consistently, and Takeover or the Growth System fit release cycles that deserve label treatment. Every price on this page is the whole price, with the target, window, and refund terms attached.
