In seven years of operation, Apple Music has gone from releasing 30 million songs to over 100 million songs with 20,000 added every day. This compares favorably to Spotify’s 80 million songs and podcasts (and everybody She seems to have a podcast these days.) While most of the commercially successful artists are on both platforms, this can make it easier to find the next indie band to brag about to your Apple friends.
Apart from this title number, there are plenty of reasons why you should consider switching from Spotify to Apple Music to find the best music app. Spotify’s free service (with ads) isn’t something Apple can offer, but if you’re looking to sign up for the streaming service, both are at $9.99 a month. In fact, the six-account monthly family plan is a bit cheaper on Apple Music ($14.99 to $15.99).
This small financial difference may not be enough to justify users saying goodbye to their perfect playlists on Spotify, but music fans should note that there is a huge disparity between the services when it comes to audio quality.
A subscription to Apple Music includes access to 24bit/48kHz real-time audio and spatial audio at no additional cost, something Spotify simply can’t compete with (no word on Spotify HiFi coming soon). Not only will your ears thank you, but also your favorite artists, Apple Music It pays artists a lot more per stream from Spotify, although Tidal is still better.
In terms of extra features, Spotify’s availability across all consoles is great (Apple Music is currently PS5 only) but Apple CarPlay mode is undisputed and connecting to Apple TV 4K is much easier.
Spotify’s recent investment in podcasts and audiobooks may now force some to stay. But Apple has its own separate platforms for this media, leaving Apple Music to focus on hitting the right notes when it comes to songs. There are of course many other competitors, and neither Spotify nor Apple Music may be right for you, so check out our roundup of the best music streaming services.
