Smart officially launched Deezer in the country

Today, Smart Communications Inc. has formally announced their exclusive partnership with Deezer; a web-based music streaming service which originated from Paris, France.

Smart and Deezer entered a “strategic and exclusive partnership” agreement which both companies signed back in the latter part of March. According to the official press release, Smart will benefit from Deezer’s expansive music catalogue which will then solidify their place as a “formidable player in the entire mobile ecosystem.”

    Comparison of monthly plans:

    Deezer Premium
    – P250.00
    – 100MB Deezer data allocation
    – 250 SMS

    Spotify Premium (via GoSurf 299)
    – P299.00
    – 700MB data allocation
    – 1GB Spotify data allocation
    – 0 SMS

    Spotify Premium
    – P129.00
    – Stand-alone premium access

    The GoSurf 299 offer is bang for the buck, especially if you’re on prepaid/do not have a data plan. The Spotify Premium (P129.00) would be the best offer if you have an unlimited data plan, or if you’re on Smart.

    100 mb for one month? Saka 250 sms? Bakit naman ganyan package nila. Parang hindi naman swak para sa service.

    Sana discount na lang from the regular 250 to let’s say 129 (ahem spotify ahem)

    Spotify has more curated playlists than Deezer. They don’t differ that much on song selection. I just hope Smart can still provide high-quality streaming without buffering once your speeds get throttled.
