Spotify, the (Western) world's most popular streaming service hardly
needs an introduction. The music streaming service is available in 92
countries mainly in Europe, North and South America and has
managed to amass more than 299m monthly active users and 138m
paying subscribers.
Spotify offers an ad-funded semi-interactive streaming service as
well as an on-demand subscription streaming service. The service
offers a wide variety of playlists, both curated by humans as well as
by smart algorithms.

approximately 16 million monthly active users, and 7 million paid
subscribers as of February 2020. With 7m paying users and 16m

paid-freemium ratio. The service is available for Web, Android, iOS,

Tidal is the name of the audio and audiovisual streaming service that
was launched in 2014. The company was acquired by Project
Panther, a year later, a company owned by superstar rapper Jay Z. In
2021 Tidal was acquired by Financial Services company Square.
To distinguish itself from other streaming services, it started to work
with big stars in the music industry like Beyoncé and Kanye West
putting their new music exclusively on Tidal. Also providing its
content in lossless format, as much as possible, is a specific key
characteristic for the service.

US-based but India-focussed ad-funded and subscription streaming
service has acquired a total of 104 million active users. The service is
particularly popular among users in India and Indian expats across the
globe.
JioSaavn features a catalog of more than 45 million tracks and is
available in 15 different languages. JioSaavn’s core features include
various hand-curated radio stations, phonetic search, dynamic bitrate
streaming and an extensive blog dedicated to artists and new
releases.

The owner of the JioSaavn service is Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). RIL
is the second largest company in India and owns businesses in
energy, petrochemicals, textiles, retail, and telecommunications. The
telco part of the company is called Jio. Jio has made it its mission to
make the internet available to as many people as possible, which
resulted in the lowest-priced data plans in the world. In 2018 RIL
announced a strategic transaction between Jio and Saavn to form a
large platform for music, media, and artists. The 270 million
subscribers of Jio are able to start a JioSaavn subscription with an
extended free trial of 3 months. This gives JioSaavn the possibility to
grow into the largest music service in India.

* YouTube (Content ID Agreement):
Google-owned YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users
can upload, view and share (music) videos. Most of the content on
YouTube is user-generated, but professional media companies and
content owners also offer their content on the site. By delivering
your content to YouTube via the FUGA Aggregation Service labels
are able to monetize each and every view of a video on YouTube
containing their content or a snippet thereof. Labels delivering
content directly to YouTube will have access to YouTube’s Content
Management System (“CMS”), allowing them to manage their
content on YouTube. All content delivered to YouTube via FUGA’s
Aggregation Service will automatically become part of YouTube’s
audio-fingerprinting system/ CMS system, which automatically
detects and provides the option to monetize videos that contain the
label’s content. FUGA Aggregation Services is an Official YouTube
Partner. Further to this, aggregation clients are also able to have their channels added to FUGA's YouTube Multi Channel Network
(MCN), so videos are able to be claimed as music videos, which are
monetized at a slightly higher rate than standard UGC.

In June 2015 iTunes launched its subscription music streaming
service "Apple Music". Apple Music is available in the same
territories as the iTunes Store and is currently the most successful
subscription streaming service in the US, ahead of Spotify. Aside
from its vast catalog, the service offers curated playlists and user-specific listening recommendations to its subscribers. Apple Music
allows unlimited on-demand streaming and subscriptions are
available from 9.99 USD/EURO/GBP per month in the US, EU, and
the UK. Apple does not operate an advertisement-funded streaming
service, like for example Deezer or Spotify, which allows users to
access music for free.
