Pandora makes it easy to navigate genres, though the design isn't that nice-looking. Spotify's clean user interface puts your content at the forefront before giving you recommendations.

Offline listening - Pandora plus has a limited number of offline listening, while Premium has unlimited listening and the ability to play songs on-demand. Playlist sharing - With Pandora Premium, you can create and share playlists with other users, while Pandora plus users can only create but not share playlists.

Pandora Stations has more functionality than Spotify Radio At its heart, Pandora is a music discovery service. Pandora algorithmically creates Stations for every artist, song, and genre. Once a Station is made, you can customize it by renaming it and adding other artists and songs to base the algorithm off of.

Discovery: This mode is geared towards helping you find artists and tracks that wouldn't usually play on that station. Deep Cuts: This mode plays less popular tracks by artists or genres that usually play on your station. Newly Released: The newest songs by artists who help make up the playlist of your station.

Pandora allows advertisers to reach their target demographic efficiently and with a guarantee of impressions directly to your demographic. This provides a considerable advantage in the audio and video advertising market.

Ad-supported Pandora: As a free listener, you can create stations based off of your favorite artists, songs, and genres. Give feedback on what you like and don't like by using thumbs and we'll curate the music for you. You can also enjoy Podcasts, as well as unlock skips and Premium access by listening to ads.
