The big picture: Apple and Spotify’s stranglehold on the streaming music market isn’t as tight as perceived as a third competitor is right on their heels. Amazon has been able to make meaningful headway in the crowded streaming space thanks in part to its pricing structure.

Steve Boom, head of Amazon Music, told the Financial Times on Wednesday that the e-commerce giant’s music streaming service now has more than 55 million users. The figure encompasses six different price tiers, including an ad-supported free tier, although Amazon insists that “nearly all” of its users are paying subscribers.
For comparison, Apple said last summer that its Apple Music service had 60 million paying subscribers. As of last September, Spotify had 113 million paying subscribers and 248 million total listeners.

For $10 a month, you get access to roughly the same catalog of 50 million tracks that Apple and Spotify offer but if you’re a Prime subscriber, that rate drops to $8 per month. And if you listen exclusively on an Amazon Echo speaker, it goes down to just $4 a month.

I used Amazon Music Unlimited for a few months. I used 30 day trials, for both of my Amazon accounts and then used it for another month after I forgot to cancel one of the trial subscriptions. It's not something I want pay extra for. Even though the music library included with the standard Prime Music is very limited, Spotify and Pandora, both offer a very large music library free of charge.

You can get Amazon Music Unlimited free for three months

Amazon Music Unlimited has been around for a while now, but has since expanded its catalog of music from a measly 40 million tunes to over 50 million over the course of three years. Although Prime members already get the standard Amazon Music included with the subscription, that service only contains around two million songs and far fewer full albums.

Right now you can get Amazon Music Unlimited free for three months, after which it costs £/$7.99/month or £/$79/year for Prime members and £/$9.99/month without Prime. The best thing about this deal is that you can cancel anytime if it ends up being something you don't like.

Get 3 free months of Amazon Music Unlimited in the UK or in the US.
