About Deezer
Deezer is a music streaming service from Paris that is popular in France, Brazil and other parts of Europe and Latin America. It offers more than 120 million tracks, a free ad-supported tier, and Premium, Duo, Family and Student plans that remove ads and add offline listening and lossless FLAC audio. Its signature feature is Flow, an endless personalised mix that adapts to your taste and mood, and it includes lyrics with translations, song recognition and a playlist transfer tool for moving your library from another service. Deezer has also taken a public stance on AI-generated music, labelling it in the app and offering a free detector to scan your playlists. It pays artists under an artist-centric model that weights professional artists more heavily. Compared with Spotify, its podcast selection is thinner and its apps are less widespread on connected devices. It runs on the web, iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, plus many TVs and speakers.
Best for: Listeners who want a free tier and lossless audio, especially in Europe and Latin America.
