Music diffuser: SACEM and SPRE, how much does it cost?

Hygiene & Regulation 5 min read 28 décembre 2025

Music is considered a commercial tool that enhances the atmosphere and sales.

You must pay SACEM (Copyright Fees) AND SPRE (Fair Compensation for Artists).

The price depends on the size of the city, the number of seats, and the number of broadcast devices (TVs, speakers). It often ranges between €500 and €2000 per year.

Public streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music) are prohibited for commercial use (see their terms of service), even if you pay SACEM. You must use professional services (Soundtrack Your Brand) or CDs/Radio.

Fines in case of a check are steep. Declare before opening to have a 20% discount.
