What Hickery is
Hickery is a web service for creating music playlists from prompts and listening preferences. A prompt can combine artists, songs, genres, moods, activities, sounds, and other instructions to describe what a user wants to hear. Recommendations can also start from liked songs or a selected playlist, and the site invites users to choose three to five artists or genres to shape a taste profile. Visitors can try playlist creation without signing up. Signing in adds playlist saving, song likes, and personalized recommendations. The Free plan costs nothing and includes basic playlist creation and management, standard recommendations, 10 AI-generated playlists per month, and 100 song likes per month. PRO adds unlimited playlists and likes, advanced recommendations, priority generation and support, ad-free use, and export to Spotify and other platforms; its recurring monthly fee is specified at purchase. Hickery links to third-party content, primarily hosted on YouTube, and says it does not host, upload, or distribute copyrighted material itself. Some PRO functions may depend on third-party services. The service collects prompts and usage and device information, and may share information with providers such as YouTube.
