Melodial vs Moodby
Moodby charges per zone — meaning a café with a dining area and a terrace pays twice. Melodial covers your entire location for one flat monthly fee, and includes AI voice announcements and offline playback that Moodby simply doesn't offer.
Pricing — one location, two areas
Moodby charges per zone. Two areas means two subscriptions. With Melodial, one subscription covers every speaker in your location.

One subscription. Your whole location.
Moodby's per-zone model means costs multiply fast. A restaurant with a dining room, bar, and terrace pays Moodby three times over.
Melodial covers every room, every speaker, every area — for one flat monthly fee. No per-zone charges, no surprise bills as your business grows.

AI Voice Announcements — a feature Moodby doesn't have
Melodial's built-in AI voice tool lets you inject promotional messages, daily specials, or custom branding directly into your music stream — automatically, at scheduled times, in a natural-sounding voice.
Promote your specials while the music plays.
Set up voice announcements in minutes. No extra hardware, no extra cost. Moodby has no equivalent feature.
Offline playback — music that never stops
Moodby streams over the internet. If your connection drops, the music stops. Melodial caches playlists locally so playback continues regardless.
With Moodby, a dropped internet connection means silence in front of your customers. Melodial keeps playing — always.
