Deezer
A French founded music and podcast streaming service with a strong footprint in Europe, Latin America, and parts of Africa.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
Deezer is a music and podcast streaming service that started in France and has built particularly strong market share there and in several other countries where it competes closely with Spotify, unlike in the US where it's a much smaller player.
Podcasters with a French speaking audience, or listeners in markets like Brazil where Deezer has real traction, should treat this as a meaningful distribution target, not an afterthought.
For an English language show aimed at US or UK listeners, Deezer will likely represent a small fraction of total downloads, submitting your feed is easy and free but expect modest returns.
Worth checking Deezer's current market strength in your specific target country before deciding how much attention to give it beyond the basic feed submission.
