What is Claap?

Claap is a music streaming and curation platform created by a French band. It focuses on original soundtracks and pick playlists designed for specific moods and activities, such as partying, relaxing with friends, travelling, or dancing. The service offers a freemium model, allowing users to listen to music without payment whilst offering premium features for subscribers. Rather than algorithmic recommendations alone, Claap emphasises hand-picked collections created with particular life moments in mind. The platform is straightforward to use and centres on enjoyment rather than complex discovery features.
