Deezer folds lossless into its regular Premium plan. Its plan page describes listening to FLAC music in High Fidelity sound, and its features page calls High Fidelity a top benefit for paying subscribers. Unlike Qobuz, Tidal, Apple Music and Amazon, Deezer does not describe a hi-res tier above that on the pages we checked, so we scored its audio features below the 24-bit services. Where Deezer stands out is the app: Flow builds an infinite personal mix, a transfer tool imports playlists from other services, and Deezer labels tracks it detects as AI-generated. It also uses an Artist-Centric Payment System for royalties. Premium comes with a one-month free trial and Deezer reminds you seven days before it ends. Our check from Poland showed zloty prices only, so the USD price is pending and we scored value conservatively. Deezer suits listeners who want lossless and good recommendations more than maximum resolution. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
