Pricing

At launch you get full access to the complete catalogue and every feature, with no obligations. Place a pre-order now and you also get 2 months free.

Yes. With Spotify import you bring in your existing playlists in a few clicks. Our catalogue contains the same music, but fully licensed for business use.

Plans start from a fixed amount per month, billed yearly — see the pricing overview. No hidden costs. The Buma/Stemra and Sena licence for music in your business is separate and yours to arrange at mijnlicentie.nl; that is the case with every music service.

Yes. Every business that plays music to the public needs a public performance licence from Buma/Stemra (composers and lyricists) and Sena (artists and producers). You request it at mijnlicentie.nl and it is separate from your subscription — with BackSound Stream and with every other provider. Our subscription covers the rights to stream the music itself for business use.

Consumer services such as Spotify and Apple Music are licensed for private use only. Playing music in a business space is not covered and can lead to fines. BackSound Stream is fully licensed for commercial use.

A zone is a room. With us one player serves up to five zones: you switch between the rooms inside the player, and with its own amplifier per room each zone gets its own music and its own schedule. We supply and install those amplifiers ourselves. With services that have no multiroom, every zone is a separate player with a separate subscription.

It depends on how you pay. Paying monthly, you cancel month by month with one month's notice. Paying yearly, the contract runs for a year with three months' notice; if you do not cancel in time it runs for another year.

STREAM is made for switching on a ready-made playlist and leaving it be: 67,000+ playlists, one room, and you can take out a track that does not suit your business. Searching the catalogue, building your own playlists, the Remote and Request App, the scheduler and Spotify import come with STREAM PRO.

No. The scheduler comes with STREAM PRO and up. On STREAM you can add it for € 5 a month.

One subscription covers up to five rooms from a single player. If you have more, an extra playback point is added: € 12.50 a month on STREAM PRO and PRO + PC, € 5 on STREAM.

Yes. STREAM and STREAM PRO run on your own PC, laptop or tablet. The STREAM PRO + PC plan is for those who would rather receive a ready-to-use music computer that we come and connect.

The music computer belongs to the STREAM PRO + PC plan and stays ours for as long as it runs. Every three years we replace it with a faster one. Once the subscription has run for five years it becomes yours at no extra cost. Equipment you buy separately — a € 350 touchscreen, for instance — is yours straight away.

Installation is a one-off € 169. Place a pre-order now and choose the PC plan and we do it free of charge.

All hardware and the call-out charge. If something breaks we replace it — including a music computer that has become slow over time. With the STREAM PRO + PC plan the first year of service is free; after that, service and maintenance costs € 120 per year.
