If you’re not swayed by Tidal’s promises of improved sound quality then there are plenty of other options. Qobuz is the more established of the two, and a recent price-drop has brought it down to £14.99/month for lossless CD-quality music and up to 24-bit 192KHz quality hi-res streaming – notably, Qobuz has abandoned MP3 completely, so every single track in its library is lossless CD-quality or better. Amazon Music HD is the cheapest of the lossless bunch, costing £12.99 a month for Prime members and £14.99 for everyone else. If lossless and hi-res audio streaming are what attracted you to Tidal, then there are alternatives: Amazon Music HD and Qobuz. ![]() Students can claim 50% off the cost of any monthly subscription and the Family accounts add £5 to the cost of each tier and allow up to six users. Tidal’s two tariffs – Premium (£10/month) and HiFi (£20/month) – are competitive with most of Tidal’s rivals. Tidal is also the darling of various hi-fi brands, so you’ll find native support for the streaming service in everything from affordable wireless speakers all the way through to audiophile music streamers which cost as much as a brand new family car.

There are also apps available for Apple TV, Android TV, select Samsung Smart TVs, and Roku media streamers. And yes, you can stream music through a desktop browser too if you need to. Tidal has native apps for Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS devices and there’s support for streaming via Chromecast and AirPlay on compatible devices. ![]()
