Qobuz ranks #2 in the US among fastest-growing online companies

Web analytics expert Similarweb has recognized Qobuz as an annual Digital 100 winner for its huge growth in 2025. In particular, Qobuz ranked #2 in the US and #3 in the UK for Media & Entertainment app downloads. Similarweb’s report reveals that Qobuz grew its US mobile app audience by 202% from 2024 to 2025.

Responding to the report, Qobuz’s managing director, Dan Mackta, stated that “Last year was a pivotal one for Qobuz, highlighted by the launch and strong adoption of Qobuz Connect, which has broadened how our listeners enjoy high‑resolution music across hi‑fi devices. We’re grateful to our team and our community for driving this momentum as we look ahead to what’s next.”

Similarweb’s founder and CEO, Or Offer, said, “Any company that can sustain growth by double digits or more over the course of a year deserves immense respect, and the Digital 100 is our way of recognising those companies… Measuring websites and apps according to common metrics is a great way of recognizing excellence and providing inspiration to all.”

For context, winners do not apply or lobby for these awards. Instead, rankings are powered by the company’s objective analysis of billions of digital signals across more than 100 million companies. The Digital 100 ranks the current 12 months of web domain and mobile app performance against the previous 12 months. Mobile apps are then ranked by growth in estimated monthly active users for iOS and Android.

Qobuz’s result is a major win for human-curated music playlisting and editorial-recommended content. It also follows the company’s introduction of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) and Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) audio formats. More recently, Qobuz has partnered with indie music magazine Drowned in Sound, added record label filtering, and demonstrated that it pays more per stream than its rivals. This comes at a time when Spotify is under intense pressure for AI slop on its platform. The company’s former CEO, Daniel Ek, also reported investments in the AI military company Helsing. This resulted in acts, such as Massive Attack, removing their entire catalog from the platform. For those curious about Quboz, now might be the time to make the switch.
