Strive FM vs OpenWav

Play music for engaged audiences in our rideshare-based music network. Users listen to a mix of their OWN familiar playlists + new music from rising Strive artists tailored to their musical preferences via our AI—ditching radio’s boring music and ads! Artists reach new fans and grow organic Spotify traffic from our re-imagined radio in rideshares. For Artists: 1. Select up to 5 songs per ad-campaign from your discography that you want to advertise on Strive. 2. Sit back and enjoy our platform's exposure of up to 100,000K+ monthly listeners on our rideshare based Network—with direct growth in monthly listeners from users and rideshare passenger fans. 3. We accelerate organic growth via QR-code remotes for passengers to interact with your music while providing deep insights from your new fans to help you understand how your music is performing over time. For Rideshare Drivers: If you use Strive while driving rideshare, rideshare passengers can join the fun by scanning the in-vehicle QR tags (shipped to drivers for free) to control music within the rideshare via Strive’s music remote control website (no additional download needed). They can see what songs played and recommend music genres for next songs within the drivers' Strive music playlist’s scope. After passengers exit the vehicle, they lose access and the music reverts to the driver’s listening preferences. Strive helps improve drivers’ tips, ratings, and in-car passenger interactions.
