Start a one month free trial at Apple Music<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For more music streaming comparisons, check out Amazon Music vs Spotify<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Spotify offers a free entry-level subscription. You pay absolutely nothing, however, you\u2019ll be met with adverts every approximately three songs, have six skips per hour, and the audio quality is worse than Spotify Premium.<\/p>\n Individual Spotify Premium will set you back \u00a39.99 per month, and this gets you ad-free music, the ability to listen offline \u2014 it lets Premium users download and save up to 10,000 songs at any one time on up to five different devices \u2014 and unlimited skips.<\/p>\n The other Spotify Premium options include: Duo, a \u00a313.99 per month service for two people living under the same roof; Family, a \u00a316.99 per month subscription which has six Premium accounts and gives parents the ability to block explicit music; and Student, a discounted \u00a35.99 per month service which still has the same benefits.<\/p>\n Apple Music doesn\u2019t offer a free entry-level subscription. So, if you\u2019d already mentally planned to not spend a single penny, head over to Spotify.<\/p>\n However, Apple Music\u2019s paid packages are brilliant value for money. There\u2019s the Apple Music Voice plan, which is \u00a34.99 per month and is designed to only play music by using Siri; the \u00a35.99 Student plan; the \u00a310.99 Individual package; and the \u00a316.99 Family plan.<\/p>\n The Spotify and Apple Music packages essentially offer the same things: ad-free, skippable listening, but you\u2019ll probably have noticed the popular Individual plan is \u00a31 extra on Apple Music. So now for the big question: is it worth the extra quid?<\/p>\n As well as the expected devices like phones, tablets, PCs and Macs, Spotify can be played on games consoles, such as the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. It also works on smartwatches, such as Fitbit, Samsung, Google and Garmin models.<\/p>\n Apple Music, unsurprisingly, can be played on Apple devices like the Apple HomePod and HomePod Mini, Apple TV 4K, and Apple smartwatches. It\u2019s also supported on Sonos, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, PS5 (not PS4), Roku and even Android smartphones.<\/p>\n Start a three month free trial at Spotify Premium<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Start a one month free trial at Apple Music<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Do you enjoy live music? Stay up to date with our Going Out<\/a> section for the latest releases like Red Hot Chili Peppers tickets<\/a>, Duran Duran tickets<\/a> and McFly tickets<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s get down to the nitty gritty. In the red corner is Spotify with over 80 million songs, and in the blue corner is Apple Music with over 100 million songs.<\/p>\n Ding ding ding. What about podcasts? Spotify boasts 4.7 million podcast titles, whereas Apple Music doesn\u2019t have any. Instead, there is a separate service called Apple Podcasts.<\/p>\n Next round is streaming quality. Last year, Apple Music updated its entire catalogue to give it high-res audio quality (24-bit\/192kHz). Spotify streams songs at three different rates: 96kbps, 160kbps and 320kbps, all in the OGG Vorbis audio format. The highest rate is exclusive to Spotify Premium subscribers.<\/p>\n Apple Music continues to offer lossless streaming and spatial audio support as standard. If crystal-clear audio quality is important to you, opt for Apple Music.<\/p>\n Start a three month free trial at Spotify Premium<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Start a one month free trial at Apple Music<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Like we said earlier, if you\u2019d rather not pay to stream music, Spotify is the way forward. The adverts are tedious but not diabolical, and the lesser audio quality is noticeable but not unenjoyable.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re going to spend money on a music streaming service, we\u2019d recommend subscribing to Apple Music. The audio advantage is worth the extra quid for the Individual plan, however, if you opt for the Family or Student package, you\u2019re paying no more money than you would be for Spotify, except the listening experience will be better.<\/p>\n Spotify Wrapped is a huge part of the music experience: it\u2019s an annual round-up of your top artists, songs and genres, as well as how many minutes you\u2019ve spent enjoying listening to music and what new things you\u2019ve discovered. If you\u2019re swapping from Spotify to Apple Music, you\u2019ll be pleased to know Apple Music offers Apple Music Replay which is essentially the same thing as Spotify Wrapped.<\/p>\n Start a three month free trial at Spotify Premium<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Start a one month free trial at Apple Music<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Spotify is offering three months of free music on its Individual plans up until 8th March next year.
