I just got an email saying the price is increasing. Again!
I don't like this. I know everything is getting more expensive, but inflation is already making things more expensive. So it is actually getting double as expensive, while wages stagnate.
I'm thinking of swapping back to free, as music streaming is ballooning to become a bigger part of my yearly budget.
A year ago, when Deezer doubled its prices in Israel, I left Deezer and switch my family to Spotify, and I’m very happy with the move - there are some things I liked better in Deezer, but most of the things are equal or better in Spotify, and most importantly: The price I pay Spotify ($9.8 for a family subscription) is half what Deezer charges today ($18).
Does Deezer pay $8 a month per month per subscriber to artists more than Spotify does? If not, I don’t see how this is a valid excuse for your prices. If you do pay a lot more to artists, and have data to prove it, please show it and let subscribers decide for themselves if they want to join your service for this specific reason. Because at double prices, there is simply no good reason left to be on Deezer. This used to make me sad - I was on Deezer for several years and tried to convince other people to try it too - but I’m no longer sad: I’m enjoying Spotify for half the price, and not looking back (except when I get notifications from the DeezerCommunity site :-)).
