What makes Qobuz better compared to Deezer?

I am asking because I had already a trial month one Qobuz and was missing some Metal compared to Tidal.

Qobuz plus points for me were:
- the reduced non-poppy UI
- the higher payment to artists
- the possibility to buy albums I enjoy

For the catalogue: I'm fine with mine, but since also albums I enjoyed on other platforms disappeared on those, I'm more into owning my favourite music again.

I also had some unsatisfied support conversation during my trial with deezer and never felt home there.
