SAVE UP TO $32.97: As of June 27, anyone who hasn’t signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited(opens in a new tab) can get three months of the service for free. That’s a savings of $10.99 per month, or $8.99 per month if you’re a Prime member.
It’s Prime Day season, and that means Amazon is back on its BS of touting its own products and subscription services harder than usual.
In the realm of music streaming, Amazon is bribing listeners to switch their platform loyalty to Amazon Music Unlimited. How? By offering three months of the service to new subscribers for free(opens in a new tab), regardless of whether you’re a Prime member or not.
Pausing your current music subscription in favor of Amazon’s free offering for just those few months could save you between $26.97 and $32.97. (Total savings depend on Prime membership: Amazon Music Unlimited typically costs Prime members $8.99 per month and non-Prime members $10.99 per month.) If you still want to return to your old faithful streaming service after your free trial, you could put that $30-ish you just saved toward a few months of Spotify or Apple Music.
No, Amazon Music Unlimited isn’t the same as the Amazon Music Prime that comes with a Prime membership. The difference is the Unlimited library’s 90 million songs compared to the Prime library’s two million. Amazon Music Unlimited also offers HD and Ultra HD playback for music purists. (Spotify HiFi is said to offer the same thing, but a launch date hasn’t been confirmed.)
All songs are ad-free and skippable whenever, and there are millions of ad-free podcast options, too.
