Did you know that when Apple introduced the iTunes Store in 2003, it single-handedly turned the digital music sector on its head? The iTunes Store has since grown into Apple Music, a music streaming service that competes with Spotify, Tidal, and other music streaming services. There’s a lot to take in whether you’re new to Apple Music or have been a subscriber since the beginning. This takes us to the focus of this guide. Below, we will take a look at how much Apple Music cost, its plans, and how to cancel an Apple Music subscription. So, without much further ado, let’s get started.
How Much Does Apple Music Cost?
Before we get into the different Apple Music membership plans, keep in mind that each one includes the same ad-free content, offline listening, Apple Music 1 live and on-demand radio shows, and exclusive releases.
When you sign up, you’ll get access to over 75 million songs as well as special playlists and live radio that you can listen to across all of your devices. For most new users, Apple Music offers a free 3-month trial. Meanwhile, if you cancel within the trial period, you will not be eligible for another free trial. The basic pricing options are listed below.
