Playfre is a freemium music streaming service focused on African listeners, with a paid plan called Playfre Pro. It launched in May 2019 and is linked to a Lagos, Nigeria office address, with operations associated with Nigeria and Kenya; it was founded by Chika Nwaogu (also co-founder of Publiseer). People usually look for apps like Playfre for a few practical reasons: they want a confirmed mobile app experience instead of web-only access, they prefer a service with clearer availability across more African countries, or they are choosing between listening and distribution and would rather use a specialist for each job.
