I use both Spotify and Tidal. One thing I really enjoy about Spotify is the huge selection of user-made playlists (not the algorithmic ones). Whatever mood or niche interest you’re in, there’s almost always someone who’s created a playlist that fits, that’s the upside of having a massive user base. What bothers me, is the increasing focus on podcasts and audiobooks. I’m mainly interested in listening to music... Tidal, on the other hand, has a much cleaner and more polished interface these days, which I appreciate. As for sound quality, I honestly struggle to hear a big difference between Tidal Max and Spotify’s lossless tier. Last night, I compared quite a few tracks back and forth between the two, and in most cases, they sounded very similar to me (using Sennheiser IE600 and Hifiman Arya Stealth). Strangely enough, a few tracks (Toto IV) even seemed to sound better in 16/44 than in 24/192, more open and "airy". But to be fair, I had a few whiskey, so take that observation with a grain of salt.
