Deezer entered the U.S. market today with a standard $9.99 per month with a 30 day trial music offering. While the French based music streamer has 3 million paid and 23 million free users globally, until today, it only offered limited availability in the U.S., including Deezer Elite, a higher quality $19.99 per month service. Deezer enters a crowded U.S. market dominated by established players including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Rhapsody, Google, YouTube and Slacker. Amazon and Pandora are readying similar offerings, as well.**U.S. Launch Comes Without Deezer's Popular Free Tier**
