Why Spotify doesn't work in your business

  • Personal license only

    Spotify's terms of service explicitly restrict use to non-commercial, personal listening.

  • No PRO coverage

    Spotify does not pay the public performance royalties required when music is played to an audience.

  • Legal exposure

    Playing Spotify in a commercial venue risks fines from PROs like GEMA (Germany), SACEM (France), or ASCAP (US).

Everything Spotify for Business would have been — and more

Soundsuit is a licensed B2B music streaming service, built specifically for commercial spaces in 50+ countries.

  • 100M+ tracks, commercially licensed

    The same catalog depth you love on Spotify — legally cleared for shops, restaurants, hotels, gyms, and offices.

  • Multi-zone scheduling

    Set different music for different spaces and times of day from one central dashboard. Your lobby, gym floor, and café can each play something different — automatically.

  • Spotify playlist import

    Already curated your perfect sound on Spotify? Import your playlists directly into Soundsuit on the Professional plan. Tracks are matched automatically against our commercial catalog.

  • Explicit content filter

    Strict filtering available — essential for retail, gyms, schools, and any venue where you control who's listening.

  • Native Sonos & Loxone integration

    Soundsuit is a certified Sonos partner. Works natively with your existing Sonos system — no workarounds, no alarm hacks.

  • No new hardware required

    Works on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Also connects via streaming URL to most network audio players. Use what you already have.

  • AI-powered station creation

    Tell Soundsuit your venue type and mood — it builds and updates your stations automatically.

  • Business invoice included

    Every subscription includes a proper business invoice. Spotify doesn't offer this for personal accounts.

Your music programme, on autopilot

Spotify has a play button. Soundsuit lets you run your venue's music the way a music director would — without hiring one.

Set different music for different times of day and days of the week — automatically. Morning service sounds different from dinner service. Monday feels different from Friday night. Soundsuit handles it without anyone touching the app.

Build unlimited named schedules and activate them when the season arrives. A Christmas schedule. A Black Friday programme. A Summer Terrace station. Set them up once — reuse them every year.

Once your schedule is set, your music programme runs itself. No staff intervention, no manual switching, no forgetting to change the mood.
