What sets Tracknack apart

Follow artists featured in album credits

Follow artists featured in album credits

While MusicButler tracks solo artists only, Tracknack is able to track producers, songwriters, composers or sound engineers that don’t even have a dedicated profile on Spotify.

Follow record labels

Follow record labels

If you enjoy following record labels that tend to put out music you like, with Tracknack you can get their latest releases automatically. MusicButler does not currently support this.

Automatic playlist updates

Both MusicButler and Tracknack send email notifications when new music is released, but Tracknack delivers all new releases straight to a custom playlist in your Spotify account.

Higher accuracy image

High accuracy

Tracknack is built from ground up to only notify you about releases from artists you actually follow. Since many artists share the same name, Tracknack has features to prevent adding unwanted tracks to your playlist.

Discover by musical connection

Discover by musical connection

Tracknack allows you to explore artists, labels or even tracks added to your playlist to find more artists and labels to follow.

Who should still use MusicButler?

MusicButler is free, well-established, and works for tracking solo artists. If you follow only Spotify artists and prefer email notifications over playlists, MusicButler is solid. Where it falls short is producers, labels, and automated playlist updates — that's where Tracknack fills the gap.
