Notably, there’s no free ad-based tier available, as is the case with Spotify. Alternatively, you can pay $14.99 / £14.99 / AU$17.99 per month for a family subscription, which is the same as a standard subscription, but up to six people can listen at once, and each family member gets a personal account. With these two subscriptions, you can only listen to Apple Music on one device at any one time. Subscription then costs $9.99 / $9.99 / AU$11.99 per month for a standard user and $4.99 / £4.99 / AU$5.99 for students. You can start listening to Apple Music straight away with a free trial, which lasts one month - it used to be three months, but Apple recently cut it back. A standard subscription costs $9.99 / $9.99 / AU$11.99 per month.While these additions might not shake things up completely, users like services that give them the most bang for their buck. And it will provide better quality than Spotify – we know Spotify HiFi is on its way, but we don’t know when or how much extra it is likely to cost users.

Notable improvements include an upgraded design to the iOS app and a recent announcement that Apple Music will get Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos and the ability to listen to over 75 million tracks in Lossless Audio from June 2021. But Apple Music doesn’t necessarily need to try to get more subscribers than Spotify it already has dedicated fans.Īpple Music has constantly been improving and adding new features since 2015, which is refreshing and necessary in such a competitive space. However, as of March 2021, Spotify has 158 million subscribers, which is a significant difference. By June 2020, that figure was estimated to be 72 million. The last time the company revealed official details about the total number of Apple Music subscribers was way back in 2019, when it hit 60 million.
Apple wants Apple Music to be more a “cultural platform” than a music streaming service. However, you can also add music you may have ripped from a CD or bought via iTunes, and watch videos. Launched in 2015, Apple Music primarily focuses on the music you can stream. (Image credit: Apple) What is Apple Music?Īpple Music is a music streaming service from Apple.
