> Spotify is still the only big streaming service with native platform-level scrobbling.

That's not true. It's missing from Apple Music but present in Tidal, Deezer, and Quobuz. It also works well with Plex.

A large list from them: https://support.last.fm/t/more-ways-to-scrobble/192

These integrations are lacking compared to Spotify. For example in Tidal you have to set it for each device where you install the app, and it doesn't work with things like casting. It's easy to forget to set it up which can cause gaps in your history.

The Plex integration gets pretty close to native, but it only scrobbles after a track is done, it doesn't have 'Now Playing' support.

As for Deezer and Quobuz I'm not sure. Afaik Spotify still stands alone by being set-and-forget, working on any device and having full feature support.

Qobuz works the same way. Set and forget. Don’t know about deezer.

Deezer is the same: set it and forget it once at a platform level.
