Who Is Bigger Pandora or Spotify?

In the world of streaming music, there are two giants that stand above the rest – Pandora and Spotify. While both offer a massive library of songs and albums, as well as personalized recommendations, there are several key differences between them. Let’s take a closer look at who is bigger and why.

Pandora is an internet radio station that uses an algorithm to select songs based on user’s preferences. This means that each time you listen to a song, the next one is chosen based on your likes and dislikes.

It also offers features like custom radio stations, music discovery tools, and recommendations. However, it does not offer on-demand streaming like Spotify.

Spotify is an on-demand streaming service that allows users to search for any song they want and listen to it instantly. It has a wide selection of music from major labels as well as independent artists.

It also offers curated playlists for different genres, moods, and activities. In addition to this, Spotify also has social features such as following friends’ listening habits.

When it comes to size, Spotify is clearly bigger than Pandora with over 75 million subscribers compared to Pandora’s 80 million users (as of January 2017). When it comes to revenue, Spotify generated $3 billion in 2016 compared to Pandora’s $1 billion.

When it comes to features, both services offer something unique but Spotify clearly edges out Pandora with its on-demand streaming capabilities and social features. However, Pandora still has its advantage in terms of recommendation algorithms which can be useful for discovering new music.

Conclusion: When it comes down to it, Spotify is clearly bigger than Pandora in terms of size and revenue. However, both services have unique features that make them appealing in their own way; so the decision really comes down to personal preference.
