Horra vs Deezer
Deezer is a hugely popular streaming app, and plenty of business owners just play it straight from their phone. The catch: a Deezer account is a personal contract whose terms prohibit commercial use.
Here's a straight look at what Deezer does well, what it doesn't cover for a venue open to the public, and where a solution built for businesses takes over.
Let us be fair
Deezer is a genuinely good consumer app with a large catalogue. The issue isn't its quality, it's that it's neither designed nor licensed to play in a business.
Our verdict
For listening at home, Deezer works well. For soundtracking a venue that welcomes the public while staying compliant, you need a source licensed for commercial use. That's what Horra brings, plus scheduling, audio messages, and guidance on public performance royalties.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to play Deezer in a business?
No. Deezer's terms of use reserve the service for personal, non-commercial use. Playing a personal account in a venue open to the public breaches that contract, and it doesn't put you in good standing on public performance royalties either, which remain due regardless.
Does Deezer offer a plan for businesses?
The Deezer plans you know (Free, Premium, Family) are all personal. To soundtrack a venue, you need a B2B solution licensed for playback in public venues, like Horra.
