✅ Easy to cancel. Your playlists survive — you revert to the free tier with ads. Transfer playlists to another service before canceling if switching.
Deezer is a French music streaming service with 90+ million tracks — essentially the same catalog as Spotify and Apple Music. At $10.99/month, it is the same price as competitors. If you are switching services or cutting costs, here is how to cancel and keep your music library.
Before You Cancel: Transfer Your Playlists
Do not lose years of curated playlists. These free tools transfer between services:
TuneMyMusic.com: Free for up to 500 songs per transfer. Supports Deezer → Spotify/Apple/YouTube/Tidal.
Soundiiz: Free tier transfers one playlist at a time. Premium ($4.50 one-time) does unlimited.
FreeYourMusic: Free tier transfers 100 songs. One-time purchase for unlimited.
You revert to Deezer Free at the end of your billing period
iPhone / iPad
Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Deezer → Cancel
Android
Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Deezer → Cancel
What Deezer Free Gets You
After canceling Premium, your account reverts to Free:
✅ Same 90M+ song catalog
✅ Your playlists and favorites preserved
❌ Ads between songs
❌ Shuffle-only on mobile (cannot pick specific songs)
❌ Lower audio quality (128 kbps vs 320 kbps or lossless)
❌ No offline downloads
Alternatives
Spotify Free: Shuffle-only on mobile, ads, but the same concept as Deezer Free
YouTube Music Free: Ad-supported, background play requires Premium
Spotify Premium ($10.99/month): Largest user base, best algorithm for discovery
Apple Music ($10.99/month): Lossless audio included at no extra cost, better for Apple ecosystem
YouTube Music Premium ($10.99/month): Includes YouTube Premium (no ads on YouTube videos)
Tidal ($10.99/month): Artist-focused, HiFi audio, best payouts to musicians
💡 Best value switch: YouTube Music Premium ($10.99) includes ad-free YouTube videos — effectively two services for the price of one. If you watch YouTube regularly, this is the best deal in music streaming.
