Melodial vs MoodBy
MoodBy charges per zone, so a café with a dining area and a terrace pays for two. Melodial Basic is £4.99 per month for one zone, with AI voice ads, scheduling and offline playback included, already less than MoodBy. Need a second zone? Melodial Plus is £9.99 per zone.

Cheaper than MoodBy, with more included
MoodBy's per-zone model means costs multiply with every area you add, and so does Melodial's once you need a second zone. The difference is the rate, and what comes with it.
Melodial Basic is £4.99 per zone per month, already less than MoodBy's £25, and includes AI voice ads, scheduling and offline playback that MoodBy does not offer. Need a second zone? Melodial Plus is £9.99 per zone, still cheaper than MoodBy.
