An honest comparison
In short: DJfy is built for hosts who want to enjoy their own party. Your guests request and vote from their phones, and the favourite plays automatically through your Spotify Premium – with your own party URL, the Barview and personal support, for a one-off €29 per party.
All apps at a glance
Each of these apps has its strengths. What matters is who’s celebrating, how many guests are coming and how much you want to run things yourself.

What makes DJfy different
DJfy takes care of the music without you giving up control. These are the differences that count at a real party.
Your guests don’t have to type in a cryptic code: you choose your own address – for example anna-and-max.djfy.eu. It looks great on invitations, table cards and posters, or in your guest group chat. There’s a QR code as well.
Every song is a round: a countdown shows everyone how long voting stays open. Shortly before the song ends, the winner is decided and lands in your Spotify queue automatically – for a smooth transition.
Nobody has to approve requests. Without a favourite, your playlist simply keeps playing.
Current song, live ranking and a QR code to join in – on the big screen.
Every guest can use DJfy in their own language – perfect for international weddings.
Everyone sees the wish list, but nobody sees who requested what.
Nobody has to wonder whether anyone needs to buy anything. Every vote counts the same.
DJfy runs on servers in the EU. From your guests, we only store their song requests – no names, no accounts.
Via WhatsApp, from real people. You get your access 24 hours before the party, so you can test everything in peace.
€29 per party. No subscription, no credits, no ads.
Honestly
We’ll be honest – not every party needs DJfy.
Spotify Jam is ready to go straight away and included in Premium.
Then take a look at mixody. DJfy currently only works with Spotify – we’re already working on an Apple Music integration.
DJ tools like Rekwest are built for that.
DJfy shines when lots of guests join in and you, the host, don’t want to play DJ – weddings, milestone birthdays, company parties or the hours after the band or DJ has finished.
Spotify Jam or DJfy? A head-to-head comparisonFAQ
You can try DJfy free for 30 minutes. For your party, the Party Pass costs a one-off €29, with no subscription.
No. Only you as the host need Spotify Premium. Guests simply open your party URL.
Not at the same time: both control the same queue. Use Jam for small groups and DJfy when lots of guests should have a say.
It’s best to order 24 hours in advance. That gives you time to test, and everything’s ready to go.
No. The Party Pass covers everything – there are no tokens, credits or power votes. Every vote counts the same.
Test DJfy free for 30 minutes – or get the Party Pass for your party right away.
