Apple offers a whopping 50 million songs, while Prime has just two million. Apple Music beats Amazon Prime Music in this department, and by a long shot too. One of the most important selling points for a music streaming service is the selection of songs. Students can get a discount, just like on Apple Music, with the monthly cost coming to £4.99/$4.99.

You can even sign up for that through the device itself by saying “Alexa, try Amazon Music Unlimited”. If your budget won’t stretch that far, there’s a single-device plan that allows access on a solitary Amazon Echo or Fire TV but costs just £3.99/$3.99 a month. If you’re not a Prime member it’ll cost £9.99/$9.99 a month.Īs with Apple Music there’s a family plan: it too costs £14.99/$14.99 a month (or £149/$149 a year) and gives access for up to six people. If you’re a Prime member, it’ll cost you a further £79/$79 per year or £7.99/$7.99 per month to sign up for the Music Unlimited standard package (one user, multiple devices).
