Deezer is a French music-streaming service and one of Spotify's longest-standing European rivals. Deezer offers a catalogue of well over 90 million tracks with high-fidelity audio options, and it is known for strong localised content and partnerships with local artists across Europe and beyond.
Available in more than 180 countries, it has leaned into being more artist-friendly than some rivals, including work on fairer royalty models and tools to flag AI-generated tracks. In 2025 it reported its first ever full year of profit, a notable milestone for a European challenger in a market dominated by American platforms.
