TIDAL is a Norwegian subscription-based music, podcast and video streaming service that offers audio and music videos. Listen to music exactly as the artist intended in Hi-Fi, MQA, or immersive sound formsts like Dolby Atmos or 360 Reality Audio.
TIDAL is the first global music streaming service with high fidelity sound, hi-def video quality. Since January 2017, its £20 ($20) per month HiFi tier has granted access to hi-res (typically 24-bit/96kHz) Tidal Master streams, encoded using MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology. However, competition becamed fierce when Amazon announced that its hi-res-inclusive Music HD tier will now be free for all Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers and Apple Music offered subscribers lossless audio (and Spatial Audio) at no extra charge. On NOV 17, 2021, Tidal finally responded by launching a free tier and a new, less pricey hi-fi subscription.
Tidal is upgrading its standard paid plan to include lossless and high-resolution audio. Now known as Tidal HiFi, the $9.99-per-month tier offers the improved music quality (up to 1411kbps) and also adds “offline capabilities, access to features like Tidal Connect and My Activity, which provides individualized daily listening insights.”
Both of Tidal’s new HiFi tiers will be available internationally, while the free tier is exclusive to the USA. But the company plans to extend the free tier to other markets in the future. Even though TIDAL music launched free plan for US users, if you wish to listen to high-quality lossless sound quality, you will have to buy their subscription plan.

TIDAL has just announced its holiday season promotional offer - three-month HiFi subscription for just $1 (usually $9.99/month) and a HiFi Plus subscription for just $2 (usually $19.99/month). Promotional campaign runs until 2/1 for new TIDAL users only. The promotional campaign can only be used once. After the promotional period, you continue to listen for $9.99 / month for a HiFi subscription or $19.99 / month for a HiFi Plus subscription. TIDAL HiFi and HiFi Plus offer free trial, but only for 30 days. So the promotion is very worth it. Both the promotion and free trial requires new users, so you can only choose one.
