Deezer vs. Spotify : a side-by-side comparison
Rude Baguette. December 2, 2013
“We like Deezer's light, clear and simple
design across both the web/desktop versions of the
service and the mobile/tablet versions, and think it's
easier to navigate than the dark, quite complex
interface of Spotify”
“Deezer has a cool feature called Hear This (…), a
music feed that's personalised for you (…) We prefer
Here This to Spotify's 'Discover' feature”
Deezer vs Spotify comparison: what is the best music streaming
service?
Tech Advisor. June 09, 2014
“The big difference between the two (Deezer and Spotify) is the
team Deezer has, they know about music”
Melomanos a la Obra
El Universal (Mexico’s largest newspaper). August 14, 2014
“Deezer arguably has the strongest editorial personality
of any of these services”
“Deezer often includes a little comment from the Deezer staff
member who is making these recommendations, and includes
their name, job title, and picture, giving it a strong human
touch”
Best Streaming service: which one to download?
Trusted reviews, August 14, 2014
“The Swedish population is clearly enjoying the unique
recommendation engine and Deezer’s approach to ensuring content is
localised”
“Deezer proudly topped the podium with nine out of ten points. Natives
Spotify took second place while Norwegian Wimp came in third position”
Deezer beats spotify

Access rather than ownership
Norway and Sweden that are most “saturated markets” are still growning. 17-24%Finland + Denmark + Baltics as the next big opportunity.
Revolution in US has just begoneThe downloads finally starting to decrease, while Streaming becoming significant
What’s happening in Sweden. We are happy to be riding a wave of success.
Super fast growth in Sweden. Both users converting from other services. And first time streamers via partners. 8x sweden + doubled in Denmark.Deezer is a significant part of that 17% - 24%
Spotify - take notes. Good to be a quick grower, but our priority is a actually something else.We are really focusing on those premium users that are so engaged they use the service every day
We are bout to solve the “curation” issue. Playlists, recommendations, new albums are nice but most of the users just want to have THE FREEDOM to press play and get just the right racks.
Our goal is to always license Local music!!
IDG - Swedish
Praising our recommendation engine and large catalogue are really paying off.
Just as we customize the service to every country and the services adapts to every user, we also make sure to customize our B2B strategy for every partner we work with
Share music assets.
