Wired Magazine has the success story of the Anti-Spotify, AKA, Qobuz.

Qobuz now has 1.2 million active monthly users, and its streaming revenue shot up 45.7 percent in 2025, compared to 8.8 percent growth in overall paid music streaming. Around a third of its revenue now comes from the US, its biggest market. Those are still teeny numbers next to Spotify (293 million paid subscribers) and Apple Music (more than 100 million).

People who have Qobuz typically have little but good things to say about it.

The newest differentiator is the refusal by Qobuz to provide AI slop on their platform. While Spotify has become inundated with AI music and even impersonators, Qobuz has taken a firm stance against it.

If anyone is interested, I have two free months of Qobuz studio to give away.
