Quick answer

Playlist submission is usually the act of sending a track to a playlist or curator. Playlist pitching is a broader process that includes track context, fit review, outreach, package scope, and follow-up.

Why it matters

Artists often need more than a link submission. A useful campaign brief includes genre, mood, release timing, similar artists, target markets, and the exact Spotify track.

Which is better?

Submission can be enough for public forms and direct curator contacts. Pitching is better when you want a structured campaign workflow and order-attached campaign data.
