Step 01
Clear commercial use
Play the Moodby catalogue for customers without turning music licensing into a staff task.
A Spotify alternative built for business
Personal Spotify accounts are not licensed for public playback. Moodby gives your venue curated music cleared for commercial use, plus a certificate of compliance.
No credit card Works with your speakers From A$20.25/month
Moodby is not affiliated with Spotify.

The personal playlist problem
Your team needs music that is ready for work.
A paid consumer subscription covers personal listening. Moodby covers the venue, the staff and the paperwork.
Step 02
Proof on demand
Download a compliance certificate from your account and keep it with your business records.
Step 03
No player to buy
Use a compatible phone, tablet or computer with the speakers already in your venue.
Built around a commercial space
Keep easy streaming. Change what sits behind it.
Moodby feels familiar to run, but the account, catalogue and controls are made for venues rather than one listener.
- 350+ stations curated by professional DJs
- Separate streams for locations and zones
- Staff access without sharing account control
- In-store messages included on annual plans

Straight answers
Before you switch.
Can I use my personal Spotify account in my business?
Spotify accounts are licensed for personal, non-commercial use. Playing music for customers is public playback, so a personal subscription does not cover the venue.
Is Moodby connected to Spotify?
No. Moodby is an independent background music service for commercial venues. It does not use the Spotify catalogue and is not affiliated with Spotify.
What music will I get?
You get a curated royalty-free catalogue organised into 350+ stations by venue type, genre, mood and time of day. Professional DJs update the selection regularly.
Do I need to buy a player?
No. Use a compatible phone, tablet or computer and connect it to the sound system already in your venue.
Do I need a OneMusic licence if I use Moodby?
Not for the music in Moodby's catalog. The tracks are royalty-free, so the licence Moodby provides covers what a OneMusic licence would otherwise be required for. If you play other music in your store, such as radio or live performances, you'd need to check separately whether a licence applies.
How do I show that the music is cleared for business use?
Your Moodby account generates a compliance certificate for the Moodby catalogue. Download it and keep it with your venue records.
