Spotify Jam is Spotify's own real-time listening session; Roomzic is a separate app built specifically around suggestion, approval, and voting across multiple music platforms.
Spotify Jam lets a group add tracks to the same real-time Spotify session, with a host who can control what guests are allowed to change. It works well for a quick, spontaneous listening session, entirely inside the Spotify app.
Roomzic solves a related but different problem: rooms built for events (parties, weddings, get-togethers) where guests suggest songs from their own phone, a host (or the room, via voting) reviews them, and the room itself has moderators, access codes, and the ability to remove disruptive guests — across Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and other platforms, not just one.

Everyone in the group already has Spotify, you want to start a session instantly without setting anything up, and you don't need a review/approval step before tracks play.
You want guests to suggest songs without needing Spotify Premium themselves, you need moderation (removing or banning a disruptive guest), or your group's music lives across more than one platform.
Spotify Jam is a feature of Spotify itself, scoped to Spotify's own catalog and session model. Roomzic is a separate, platform-agnostic layer built around suggestion, approval, and moderation — designed for hosting an event, not just joining a live session.
