However, some essential differences set them apart: Free plan Option to download songs for offline listening.Full access to the entire content library.Here’s how they compare and differ:īoth platforms offer similar Premium plan features, such as: Spotify, however, does have some additional offerings. Unlike Apple Music, Spotify comes with a free, ad-supported plan. With this, you can listen to everything in Spotify’s content library. On-demand playback is somewhat restricted though. This means that you can only listen to some playlists only on shuffle mode. While Apple Music doesn’t have a free tier, users can take advantage of the 3-month free trial. This allows more than enough time to get a sense of whether their Premium plan is worth it or not. Library limitĪpple Music limits users to a maximum of 100,000 songs in their music libraries. Spotify previously also had a similar restriction that limited users to 10,000 songs in their Library. That limit has since been removed, allowing users to “like” an unlimited amount of songs. Because of its recent update, Apple Music now offers lossless audio quality of up to 24-bit/192 kHz as well as spatial audio with Dolby Atmos.Īudio streaming qualityĪudio streaming quality is where Apple Music completely supersedes Spotify. ![]() ![]() This update allows them to stream music in audiophile-grade qualities, compared to Spotify’s highest setting of up to 320kbps bitrate. Different Family plan requirementsīoth apps offer Family plans, though the eligibility requirements differ. The merge offers users both services for a combined price of 12.99 US a month for regular users and 4.99 US for students - a steal when you think about how much each individual service costs users on their own. Those who wish to sign up for a Spotify Family Premium plan need to reside at the same address. However with the Canadian price for Spotify Premium being 9.99 and Premium Student being 4.99 we figured there had to be a catch.
