Which one do you prefer?

I am seeing plenty of mixed opinions about both Spotify and Tidal. Some are saying Spotify is the best, others say it’s bloated, others think it’s annoying it’s also an app for podcasts. Some people really like Tidal, but I have mostly seen negative opinions about it - worse song recommendations, no difference in audio, too expensive.

As someone who doesn’t care very much for song recommendations I can’t decide which one is ideal for me personally. Tidal seems to pay artists better, but the criticism it receives makes me unsure. What do y’all think?

I love my Tidal, me and my partner both use it. I generally really like the track radio and the mixes it serves up for me.

I found that spotify improved when using the desktop Bluetooth to speaker (no ads). Switched to spotube on my mobile.

I used both Spotify and Tidal, I have upper mid range headphones and I couldn't tell the difference in quality.

I'm now using YouTube Music because it costs the same as Spotify (around $4 in my country) but I also get YT Premium, so no YT ads on mobile either. On desktop I'm using an ad blocker, so by having premium I can support the creators that I watch without wasting my time with ads.
