But in May 2021, Amazon scrapped the charge, which makes it even more appealing, and an even closer rival for Apple Music, which has upped its own game by introducing higher-quality streams to its customers at no additional cost. Previously, if you wanted to access Amazon Music HD, the company’s CD-quality and high-res audio tier, you’d need to pay an additional £5 ($5, AU$5) per month. You can also sign up for a £4.99/$4.99/AU$5.99 per month tier that lets you use the service on a single Amazon Echo or Echo Dot wireless speaker.īut the competitive pricing doesn’t stop there.

Its £15/$15/AU$18-per-month family tier (for up to six people) is par for the course too although, from the 8th November 2022, the price of this plan will increase to £16.99/$15.99/AU$18.99.įollowing an April 2022 price rise, an individual membership is now £8.99/$8.99/AU$8.99 per month for Prime members, which is a mild incentive for the millions of Prime subscribers.

£9.99/$9.99/AU$9.99 per month seems to be the going rate for individual streaming memberships and Amazon Music Unlimited follows suit. Amazon regularly offers free trials that can run from 30 days to three months during some promotions so potential subscribers can always try before they buy. If you want to drill down into the catalogue or want to access higher-quality tracks, then you need Music Unlimited. This stripped-down version of Amazon Music Unlimited does give you ad-free access to Amazon's entire music catalogue but only in SD quality and you can only play via shuffling artists, albums, or playlists.
