RomanianStartups lists Bucharest, Romania as Hickery’s city and address location.
What it is
Hickery is a web service that creates music playlists from natural-language prompts and listening preferences. Users can combine artists, songs, genres, moods, activities, sounds, and extra instructions to describe what they want. Recommendations can draw on liked songs or a selected playlist, and users can choose three to five artists or genres to shape a taste profile. Visitors can generate a playlist without signing up. Signing in adds playlist saving, song likes, and personalized recommendations. The Free plan costs nothing and includes basic playlist management, standard recommendations, 10 AI-generated playlists per month, and 100 song likes per month. PRO offers 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 on YouTube, and says it does not host or distribute copyrighted material. Free and paid use remain subject to fair-use limits, and subscription fees are non-refundable.
