Tidal vs spotify samsung1/13/2024 It looks like there's something of a trend here: Tidal costs 10.99 per month. This is TIDAL’s top tier, while Spotify’s most expensive plan is 14.99. Tidal started out as an artist-owned service but in March 2021 was purchased by Block (known at the time as Square) for nearly $300 million. How much it costs for standard music streaming plans as of mid-2023. Especially if you go with TIDAL HIFI which will cost you 19.90 per month. It closed the first quarter of 2023 with some 210 million premium subscribers and a total of 515 million subscribers overall. Spotify is the only of the major services to officially release usage numbers. Spotify and YouTube Music come in at the most frugal by one whole dollar. The price increase brings Tidal in line with the likes of Apple Music and Amazon Music for individual plans. Whether any of that will actually make a difference to your ears is very much open to dispute, but at least it’s an option. Tidal mostly offers music from big names. Where the two mostly differ in terms of music catalog is the artists and the genres that you can listen to. Both Tidal and Spotify boast expansive music catalogs Tidal has more than 70 million tracks available, and Spotify comes close to over 60 million. It’s also what you’ll need if you want to listen to anything in Dolby Atmos or Sono’s 360 Reality Audio format. Tidal vs Spotify: Music Catalog Photo from Tidal. There’s also the high-end HiFi Plus plan - whose price apparently is not changing - which ramps quality up to a whopping 9216kbps thanks to the MQA protocol. The Family plan gets you all that for up to six accounts on a single plan. The HiFi plan tops out at 1411 kbps, is ad-free, allows for offline listening, has live events, and lets you listen on supported high-end devices from Lumin, KEF, and the like. Tidal’s free plan pipes in songs at up to 160kbps and supports itself with advertising. What it lacks in market share - it’s far behind the likes of Spotify and Apple Music - Tidal makes up for in terms of options for those who want higher bitrates and (theoretically, anyway), better-sounding streaming music.
