   Deezer

    470 likes

   Deezer is an excellent option since its user experience is quite similar to Spotify, but it also has approximately 70 million songs available, about 30 million more than its competitor. It also has a feature similar to the Shazam called SongCatcher, which you can use to identify the name of the songs that are playing. Flow is another cool feature missing on Spotify, with recommendations created exclusively for you and songs that you no longer remember so you can enjoy long hours of music. The free version of Deezer works similar to Spotify (although with less advertising between songs), but you can always get the premium version from $10 USD.

   Deezer roughly pays the artists 40% more money per stream than Spotify ($0.0064 instead of $0.00437, according to dittomusic.com). It doesn't seem like much, but to me it's an fairly important point, which led me to use Deezer over Spotify.

   With Deezer you can only listen to 30 seconds of a song unless you pay.

   YouTube Music

   YouTube Music has an important advantage over Spotify, in addition to its extensive music catalog, it includes millions of videos and uses the extremely intelligent and powerful YouTube search engine, which means that you just have to type or say some word that identifies a song or part of the lyrics and you will surely find it.

   Its interface is really easy and familiar to navigate, on its main page you will find different playlists according to your mood. Thus, if you need more energy, need to focus, or need to relax or cheer up, you can use them to forget about looking for specific genres or songs.

   But beyond the content, there are two main advantages: you can have your music offline or watch videos without having to be connected to WiFi or mobile data. In addition, you can have YouTube videos in the background and continue using other applications without the music being cut until you decide. You can purchase YouTube Music Premium from $10 USD.

   YouTube music is good but you can't listen to it if you are on some other app or your phone is off, unless you pay.

   I have found this easier to use than Spotify, but it has plenty of drawbacks. I recommend digging up an older APK for it, though, because it got overall laggier and buggier in 2025. I believe mine is from Oct, 2024. Playlists don't have good tools to manage and won't load in their entirety without a lot of scrolling – and then their UI gets laggy once hundreds of tracks are shown. It doesn't come up often, but if you need to delete something from the end of a long playlist, expect it to take at least several minutes. Shuffle play works fine as long as you remember to actually "Shuffle Play" rather than hitting play and turning shuffle on, although in some circumstances involving stopping and restarting a shuffled playlist it can un-shuffle. Ethically, it looks like YTM pays out a similar amount to Spotify (very little), and then of course there's the fact that it's owned by Alphabet. Does that make it worse than Spotify? I don't know, but they're in similar territory, IMO.

   Apple Music

    164 likes

   Apple Music leads over Spotify with a catalog of just over 50 million songs. If you are within the apple ecosystem, you will find Apple Music really interesting due to its integration with the OS without the need for third party apps. In addition to its well balanced user interface design, you have the option to dive through recommended lists, hits, genres or personalized and updated playlists. It's also possible to follow artists, as well as compare and comment on songs, a significant advantage over Spotify.

   You can use the service not only on devices with MacOS or iOS, but also on Android and Windows, but keep in mind that it doesn't give you the possibility of listening to music with advertising, you can only use the service by paying a $10 USD membership.

   TIDAL

    83 likes

   Tidal is a great alternative to Spotify if what you are most interested in is audio quality, as it has standard sound options but also HiFi quality ($19 USD/month). It also has support for official videos in a big part of its catalog. In addition, it offers you the option to select your playlists from other platforms and transfer them to Tidal, which is a great advantage if you want to change your usual streaming music app and try Tidal without losing your music. On the other hand, on many occasions you will be able to access exclusive events with artists and buy tickets for their shows before they go on sale to the general public.

   TIDAL is the only serious music streaming service that offers Hi-Fi sound quality (FLAC, 1440 kbps, rather than Spotify's 320 kbps). This makes it a uniques and valuable service, particularly if you're an audiophile who genuinely appreciates the difference. However, TIDAL has: no playlist sharing and no Linux client.

   TIDAL does have playlist sharing and a linux client now! They still pay their artists far more than Spotify. They still have a competitive library. And their prices are typically about the same as Spotify premium’s. I absolutely recommend TIDAL over Spotify. Why not let more of your money go to the people actually making the music?

   Less cluttered and bloated interface, almost the exact same library with few exceptions, much better payments to artists

   Bandcamp

    197 likes

   It is an excellent option for independent musicians that combines many features from a social network where you can display your music, with an ecommerce function that lets you sell your merchandise. Unlike Spotify, Bandcamp allows users to stream your music or buy your discography in physical or digital formats (with a commission of 10 to 15%). 

   If you are a musician, the premium version offers you several extra benefits such as: Sending private messages to your fans, seeing the location of your buyers and how they have reached you, batch uploading audio to the platform, adding videos to your music and related merchandise, sending VIP songs through private links, the ability to configure a custom domain, connecting your profile with Google Analytics, and disable some songs so that cannot be listened for whatever reason.

   Bandcamp allows you to support artists directly and without having to use an app and with less fees. It has a lower barrier to entry than Spotify so you'll find more independent artists. The merch feature is great and allows you to buy merch (digital/physical) and music all in one place.

   Allows you to actually own the songs you pay for. Vast majority (if not all) of the money you pay goes directly to the artist. It also supports Lossless audio. And you can also order some cool merch

   Probably the best music streaming platform. Way better ethics and musician remuneration than Spotify. The platform also refuses AI-generated songs and features unique editorial albums and playlists. The interface is more minimal and the audio quality is the best.
