You are a Deezer free plan user, the music platform for streaming? So the bad news is that the free modality of the service will cease to exist within a month. Or what’s the same, you have a month to decide whether to subscribe to one of their plans or instead go to an alternative that continues to offer the same without breaking the bank.

there will be another April 18, 2014, when Deezer Free will cease to exist, so free music ended for those who enjoyed it that way. Until then – and almost certainly after, although this point was not specified – it is possible to download the data for migration to another service, an option found in this section of the service’s preferences, although the method used is the backup tool. third side.

As the platform communicates with users of its free plan, at least as far as its Spanish users are concerned:

We appreciate you being part of the Deezer Free community. However, sometimes good things come to an end. Deezer Free will no longer be available in your country on 18/04/2024.

Don’t want to stop listening to your music? This doesn’t have to be the end! Upgrade to Deezer Premium today and get 3 months of unlimited ad-free music for the price of 1.

In this case, it is not possible to just leave Deezer. Existing Deezer Free users will receive the above offer, three months for the price of one, while each new subscriber can choose between payment plans: Premium, for one user for €11.99/month; Duo for two users for €15.99/month; and Family, for up to six users for €19.99 per month. In all cases, you get one month free, and if you opt for an annual subscription instead of an annual subscription, you’ll get a 25% discount.

Does no mean no? So the most likely escape routes are the direct competition of the French service, read Spotify or YouTube Music, as both are two great alternatives in the sector that still offer free access supported by advertising. Be that as it may, remember to migrate your data on time. A tool that Deezer recommends by the way is TuneMyMusic and here’s how to do it if you need it.

The question now is why does Deezer do this? It’s worth noting that already at the end of last year, the service raised its prices above those of its leading competitor and sector benchmark, Spotify, an inexplicable move that will become even more complicated with the end of free accounts. In short, all this does not seem to be a sign that the platform is having a good time.
