Every station is free, 15 minutes a day. £1.99 for 7 days, £4.99 for 30 days or £29 for a year — a single payment, no auto-renew, nothing stored — lifts the limit and unlocks playlists, unlimited favourites, every sleep-timer length and a listening history 100 plays deep instead of 20.
Every station in every country, browsing by country, genre and mood, the collections, and a player with no ads and no advertising trackers. A free account syncs your favourites across devices.
£1.99 for 7 days, £4.99 for 30 days or £29 for 365 days (£2.42 a month). One payment through PayPal, no auto-renew, nothing to cancel — and a seven-day money-back guarantee. Checkout asks for a free account first, so Premium is attached to it the moment you pay.
The radio is free — every station on 72FM is a public broadcast and none of them is ever locked. What is limited is how long the free tier plays: 15 minutes a day, then it resets at midnight. £29 a year removes that clock and adds the things a daily listener wants — your own playlists, unlimited favourites, every sleep-timer length and your last 100 plays instead of your last 20. If 15 minutes a day covers you, stay on free; we would rather you did that than pay for something you do not need.
Because someone has to pay for the servers, and the alternatives are worse. We could run ads, but the whole point of this player is that it does not. We could ask for an account before you press play, but then you could not just arrive and listen. 15 minutes a day is enough to find stations you like and use the site properly; if radio ends up on in the background all day, that is the point at which it costs us real money and the point at which we ask.
No. 72FM has no auto-renew and no recurring billing. You make a single payment, you get access for 30 days or 365 days, and then it simply stops. We never take money from you again unless you deliberately come back and buy again. There is no subscription to cancel and nothing to remember to turn off.
Yes — 7 days, no questions asked. Email us within a week of paying and we refund you in full. Because there's no auto-renew, that's the only refund window you'd ever need.
No. 72FM is a directory and player built on the open Radio Browser database. Every stream belongs to the broadcaster that runs it, and all rights stay with them. We don't re-encode, store or resell anyone's audio — clicking play passes the broadcaster's own stream through our stream relay unchanged, exactly as they publish it.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. If a station plays commercials on air, you'll hear them — that's the broadcaster's programming. What we can promise, on both tiers, is that the 72FM player itself adds no ads and no advertising trackers.
Whatever the broadcaster transmits. Each station publishes its own bitrate and we show it on the station card so you can pick the higher-quality streams. 72FM passes the stream through untouched — we don't upscale it and we don't degrade it on the free tier.
Yes. 72FM runs in any modern browser — iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop. Sign in and your favourites and history follow you across every device automatically.
By debit or credit card, or with PayPal — you do not need a PayPal account. Choose the card option in the payment window. Your card details go to PayPal directly and never touch our servers.
