How does this compare to Music Butler? It recently went to a paid model. I did find the service very useful for the 3ish years I used it, but I didn't jump to premium, and kinda stopped using it. Curiously, what makes this service different and how will you ensure "100% perpetually free with no strings attached"? https://www.musicbutler.io/ https://www.musicbutler.io/

Music Butler focuses on either artists you follow on Spotify (just like Spotify itself), or your Spotify Library. Brew.fm shows you new releases per playlist. Here's a demo of how I use Brew.fm to keep my 2 most used playlists up to date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2Ognb4PgU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2Ognb4PgU. I have no plans to monetize the tool. I'm scratching my own itch here and am very much at the mercy of Spotify. I'm hoping to keep this one a hobby project.

MusicButler dev here. Even though you didn't sign up for the paid plan, I appreciate the mention and the compliments! And to /u/bartproost - good luck with your new adventure! Your note on monetization reminds of myself 4 years ago when I'd just started with MusicButler. Luckily I didn't make any promises about it being free forever because, well, hobby projects have associated costs too.

  I was curious about the service (I'm not against paying for stuff and MusicButler supports Apple Music) but nowhere on the website does it tell me how much it costs.

    I agree with this. I don't mind paying a fair price, but I need to know what the price is before I invest any time bothering.

    You’re both right of course. Things have been quite hectic for me. I’ll be sure to update this very soon.

This is cool! How/where does it get the new releases data from? Would be nice to have a service like this for books
