Hey
If you're seriously expecting an in-depth qobuz vs deezer comparison here, you'll be disappointed. In an operator-led forum something like this is not welcomed.
Or do you also ask in the BMW forum how people like Mercedes or whether it is worth switching from the one-series BMW to the A-Class?
I think you should check out the subchannels(*) on Reddit and start a discussion there.

It is response like this that make me not wan to post here anymore i mean love Deezer but i came here mostly for flow and the community aspect but if we cant even compare and contrast without being attacked it is pretty bad.

I have no idea why you feel attacked. I was just pointing out that you won't be able to get a discussion going here in the deezer community that is ultimately about qobuz...
it was the unwarted reactionary rone

Understood. You are obviously very sensitive.

👍
If I was a little too rough, that wasn't my intention.
Such comparisons between streaming services are often very subjective, as each user has different preferences (like everything else in life).
Nevertheless, I want to give you a first comparison (as a peace offering), since I am also a qobuz user myself.
Clear plus at deezer:
Flow
recommendation algorithm
General use of the smartphone app: Simple and intuitive
Clear plus at qobuz:
Many songs are available in HiRes. Especially if you have the right devices for it (DAC) and good speakers or wired headphones, a real pleasure.
Neutral - related to deezer and qobuz alike:
no connect function (like Spotify has)

I appreciate this thread. My system can supposedly handle very well a high res environment so I am interested in the Qobuz offering although I understand Airplay does not support hi res. I can use the apps native in Kef Connect but they are not as familiar or user friendly as the original (Deezer at least, I am not familiar with the Qobuz offering). Playing tunes through Kef Connect seems to offer a better sound environment, but that could be my expectation bias. The big one for me is the playlist limit. Apparently Qobuz has a 2000 song limit as does Deezer, which I absolutely hate, except in favourites. I have well over 5000 songs currently in my favs which is my most used playlist, and this might be a Qobuz deal breaker for me. Qobuz would have to sound WAY better for me to get over the playlist limit.
