Pick a vibe, fill the room, and put your own words on the screen. SoftWork Beats is original, ad-free instrumental music for the places you work — and it's licensed so you can play it in public. Twelve genres, one tap: • Lo-Fi Jazz • Chill Electronic • Deep Focus • Energetic Focus • Classical Focus • Acoustic Mornings • Cinematic • Island Time • Retro Drive • Game Mode • Lullabies • Pop WHAT IT DOES • Put your words on the screen — curated trivia for your type of business, plus your own notes between tracks: hours, specials, Wi-Fi, whatever the room should know • Opens and closes with you — set a start and stop time and the music keeps your hours on its own • Hands free — "Hey Siri, play Deep Focus on SoftWork Beats." Every control is a Siri phrase and a Shortcuts action • One room or twenty — add a seat per room and each plays on its own • Original music, no ads — every track is ours, instrumental, with no vocals to talk over and new albums every week • On every screen you own — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch, plus the web player and CarPlay • Speaks your team's language — the whole app in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Japanese, Hindi and Chinese LICENSED FOR PUBLIC PERFORMANCE This is the part most music apps can't offer. Consumer streaming services are licensed for personal listening only — playing them in your business isn't covered. SoftWork Beats is different: your subscription includes a public performance license for your place of business. That means you can play it out loud, in public, wherever you work — reception, waiting rooms, lobbies, treatment rooms, salons, cafés, gyms and studios. No PRO fees. No per-song royalties. No paperwork to file. Hear a track you love? Tap "Listen on Apple Music" to find it. Great for: offices and coworking spaces, dental and medical waiting rooms, therapy and chiropractic clinics, salons and spas, cafés, gyms — and focus sessions at home. Start listening free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FLOW Mix at none against SoftWork Beats's 5. SoftWork Beats's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
