There’s also a $14.99/£14.99 family tier, and a single device plan which will cost just $4.99/£3.99 monthly. While there’s no free tier, Prime subscribers can subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited for $8.99/£7.99, which makes the service cheaper than Apple music (it levels up if you don’t take Prime). We rate Amazon Music Unlimited as good value. The latest addition to Apple’s subscription options is a Voice Plan, for $4.99/£4.99 a month, but you can only access it via voice and Siri on on iPhone. There’s also a University Student plan, which costs $4.99/£4.99 per month.

So in terms of content then, there’s not much between them. They also have a comparable number of high-fidelity encodes, with substantial 16-bit and 24-bit quality libraries. But its music curation engine could be better. It oddly labels CD and Hi-Res quality tracks as HD and UHD, and also offers a comprehensive range of Dolby Atmos albums. Undercutting rival Apple, but offering a comparable library, Apple Music Unlimited can be considered superior value if you already subscribe to Amazon Prime. Tracks labelled Hi-Res lossless and Apple Digital Master are about as good as it gets when it comes to streaming quality ( We Are Not Your Kind by Slipknot is a stunning example), but Apple reserves its best listening trick, Dynamic Head Tracking, exclusively for iPhone users. With a comprehensive catalogue of some 90 million songs, excellent genre reach and plenty of high-quality options, Apple Music is an excellent choice if you’re an Apple devotee.
