Key points 📌

• ‍AudioHiFi: With Deezer, HiFi quality (FLAC) is included in the standard subscription, which is a big plus for those who are demanding about sound.‍

• Individual subscription: Spotify remains slightly cheaper for the standard plan.‍

• Duo and family : Spotify's rates are more competitive, especially for shareable subscriptions.‍

• Trial period: Deezer sometimes offers up to two months free, while Spotify often offers a one-month trial.

By using Spliiit, you can share your subscriptions with others to reduce the cost of your subscriptions and save money on them. By sharing Spotify and Deezer on Spliiit, you can enjoy these subscriptions at much more attractive prices: and with the best rates and options! 

Audio quality 

• ‍Deezer integrates HiFi quality directly into its standard subscription, offering an uncompromising sound experience right from the lowest price. ‍

• Spotify, despite announcements, has still not launched its HiFi option. The sound remains at 320 kbps, which is fine for many users, but unfortunately not on a par with Deezer in this respect.

‍/ 🥁Verdict: If you're looking for the best sound quality, Deezer wins hands down. For more traditional use, Spotify remains satisfactory and still very decent!

‍/ 👤 Who's it for? If you have a good sound system and quality matters more than anything, Deezer is for you. For everyday listening with standard headphones, Spotify is more than sufficient for the price.

Catalogs and content availability 

The content offered by these platforms is an essential factor in choosing one or the other. The catalog is one of the first criteria to consider when choosing a streaming platform 🕵️

Key differences 🔍

• Deezer has a particularly extensive and rich library, with highly localized content or live radio. If you like regional artists and niche musical genres, Deezer is an excellent choice.

• Spotify is far more advanced when it comes to podcasts, with exclusives and other popular shows. Spotify also offers filmed podcasts, which Deezer does not.

/ 🥁Verdict: Prefer Deezer if you're passionate about pure music, especially local or niche genres. Opt for Spotify, for all the tracks available, but especially if you're more of a fan of podcasts and more diverse content.

/ 👤 Who's it for? For this category, we're going to say Deezer for music purists, and Spotify for those who like to diversify their audio content with podcasts and videos in addition to daily tunes. But both platforms offer enough richness to satisfy all musical tastes: hard to decide here!‍

User experience and interface

The interface plays a major role in the pleasure we derive from using an application. Let's see how Deezer and Spotify fare.

• Spotify: Known for its fluid, intuitive interface, navigation is straightforward and sections are well structured. Recommendations are easily accessible and the algorithm is top-notch.‍

• Deezer: Offers a more customizable interface. The emphasis is on the Flow option, which lets you create a unique mix based on your tastes. The home page can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Device compatibility

• Spotify works with just about every device imaginable: smartphones, computers, games consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), connected speakers, and more. You can even control it via Google Assistant or Alexa.‍

• Deezer is also available on most devices, but integration is a little less extensive, especially for games consoles and certain connected devices.

/ 🥁Verdict: For a smooth, universal user experience, Spotify is slightly ahead! But if you're looking for bespoke control over your interface, Deezer may be better suited.

/ 👤For whom? For those who like optimization and personalization, Deezer is perfect. For those who want a turnkey experience with no headaches, Spotify remains the leader in terms of interface and is really very user-friendly. 

Musical discovery

Discovering new music is one of the great pleasures of music streaming. Here's what Spotify and Deezer have to offer for discovering new tracks:

• Deezer Flow : It's a continuous mix based on your listening habits. Launch Flow and let yourself be surprised. Ideal for alternating between favorites and unexpected discoveries.

• ‍SpotifyDiscover Weekly (⭐our darling): Spotify takes discovery to another level with powerful algorithms. "Discover Weekly", "Release Radar", and "Daily Mix" are playlists tailored specifically to your tastes and updated every week.

The benefits 🧐

• ‍Deezer: Flow is highly intuitive and requires zero effort. You can listen to your favorite tracks while discovering new nuggets without interruption.

• Spotify: Spotify's weekly suggestions are based on a huge user database. These recommendations are often highly relevant, especially for discovering new genres and improving playlists. 

‍/ 🥁Verdict: For passive, enjoyable music discovery, Deezer is the way to go!

/ 👤For whom? For the curious and music lovers who like to get out of their comfort zone, Spotify is perfect. Deezer will appeal to those who want to maintain continuity while discovering new tracks from time to time...

Accounting and collaboration

• Spotify: Seeing what your friends are listening to in real time, creating playlists together, and sharing tracks has never been easier. The community aspect is clearly at the heart of the Spotify experience.‍

• Deezer: Offers sharing features, but these are less prominent and a little lacking in social integration compared to Spotify.

‍/ 🥁Verdict: For a shared experience, Spotify is clearly ahead!

‍/ 👤Who is it for? Spotify is ideal for users who like the social aspect of music and sharing their activity with friends. Deezer is more suited to those who listen to their music more privately: but there's nothing to stop sharing! ‍

Additional features and benefits

• Lyrics: Both platforms integrate song lyrics. On Spotify, they're powered by Musixmatch, offering an ideal karaoke experience. 🎤 Deezer also has lyrics, but they're a little more interactive with karaoke capability + essential for your best buddy nights: blind tests 👀

• Fade out : Present on both platforms, for smooth transitions between tracks, ideal for parties.

• Sleep timer: both services have sleep timers, handy for listening to music in bed. Deezer and Spotify also offer audio equalizers, allowing you to customize sound quality.‍
