BoomPlay is one of Africa’s biggest music streaming platforms. It is in competition for market share on the continent with music streaming giants like YouTube Music, Spotify, and Apple Music, but somehow, Boomplay has been a strong competitor and has been successful to an extent – the app has been downloaded over 100 million times on Google Play Store alone. This may or may not have been influenced by the fact that the streaming app is owned by smartphone giant, Transsion, and is installed on all of its smartphone brands.
BoomPlay has a free subscription plan which allows users access to an ad-supported version of the service for free, as well as a paid ad-free premium plan which allows users to stream and download songs and videos.
