Deezer generally pays an estimated average of $5.00 to $6.40 per 1,000 streams for premium subscription playback, placing it slightly higher on a per-stream basis than many competing mainstream music platforms. Under Deezer's unique Artist-Centric Payment System, professional artists who cross specific thresholds—such as generating at least 1,000 monthly streams from 500 unique listeners—can qualify for boosted royalty weightings, while gross per-stream rates vary depending on the listener's geographic territory and subscription tier.
