The short version

  • Only Deezer has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Deezer pricing and currency are region-locked - the vendor page serves localized pricing rather than a single global figure; Netflix the entry plan caps video at 720p and allows one simultaneous stream and one download device
  • They diverge on capability: Deezer covers Music streaming, Netflix covers Video streaming.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Deezer

  • Pricing and currency are region-locked - the vendor page serves localized pricing rather than a single global figure
  • Free tier excludes ad-free listening, offline downloads, and high-fidelity/lossless audio
  • Multiple similarly named tiers (Premium, Duo, Family) differentiated mainly by account count

Netflix

  • The entry plan caps video at 720p and allows one simultaneous stream and one download device
  • 1080p and two simultaneous streams require the Standard plan
  • 4K Ultra HD, HDR and spatial audio are restricted to the Premium plan, which allows 4 streams and 6 download devices
  • Netflix states an account is for people who live together in a single household, so viewers outside the home need a paid extra member slot
  • Plan prices and availability differ by country and change when Netflix is bought through a partner package or add-on
