Amazon
Why you should subscribe: Amazon’s fully realized streaming music services provides an intriguing alternative to the many competing products on the market, especially for Echo device owners.
Who’s it best for: Amazon Prime members
How much will it cost: Prime Music is included with Amazon Prime, which costs $13 per month or $119 per year. Amazon Music Unlimited costs $8 per month for Prime members or $10 per month for non-Prime members. A three-month trial of Music Unlimited costs 99 cents. A family plan is also available.
Pros: Both are ad-free, on-demand services. Amazon Music Unlimited gives you access to tens of millions of songs, thousands of hand-curated playlists, and personalized stations. If you have an Amazon speaker, you can summon songs using Alexa and also get some added content, such as commentary from selected artists.
Cons: Dual music plans can be confusing; Prime Music has more than 2 million songs, but that’s still a thinner selection than other services offer.
