Still, Amazon Unlimited Music might be a better option for those who don't have Apple devices. Other popular music streaming services like Apple Music also provide access to high-quality audio at $10.99 per month. While writing this article, Amazon is running a promotional offer wherein it lets new users experience the service free for 30 days, with an option to cancel anytime. Nonetheless, the library and quality of audio tracks included with Amazon Prime membership should be enough for regular users. The subscription offers Prime Music and Prime Video for accessing audio and video content on demand, but it does not include Amazon Music Unlimited. Users might have to pay sales taxes in some states, which could increase the effective price of the subscription. On the other hand, students get the service at $7.49 per month and $69 a year. ".For the want of a nail the war was lost.Currently, Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year in the United States. I think Amazon Music is exhibiting Short Term Thinking, the mgrs are probably only looking at the daily revenue from Unlimited. Of course we seem to be living in a time when crazy ppl tell others to do something and the followers just say "OK" without thinking. They've been hammering on Music Unlimited for quite some time, so now they take what's in Music and shove it behind Unlimited, and create an app that drives ppl away rather than nurture solid customers. They seem to think if they lable something Unlimited you will all flock to spend another $180/year. Meanwhile, a student membership also includes a two-month free trial. These ppl are suppose to marketeers and they find impossible to create a product that people want and see willing to purchase. Prime Student members can also access the unlimited version of Amazon Music for just 5.99 a month for up to four years. What I wonder about is the oafs leading Amazon Music, they don't seem to have the mental agility to see that the loss in revenue to Amazon is much much more than the amount they will take-in considering your Prime membership plus what you now decide to purchase elsewhere. Or, get unlimited access with Amazon Music Unlimited and play any song, anytime, anywhere. They could probably afford to lose 2-3 prime subs for every additional unlimited subscriber and still have a net profit. Prime members can enjoy all the music + top podcasts ad-free. A prime sub is around the same price as an unlimited sub. In addition, Amazon has a 15.99 per month (or 159 per year) Family Plan that covers six people. Some people will pay for the unlimited so that’s growth of the revenue for the platform. No, Music Unlimited isn't included with a Prime membership. People who stop using a perk of the subscription are reducing overheads but revenue stays the same. Existing Prime subs aren’t going away in droves. I doubt anyone is going to give up the TV, Movies, free delivery, games access, over a music subscription change that was already limited to a subset of the service anyway. The number of people who will ditch prime completely over the music changes are insignificant. A slight bump in price would have had me fork over the extra to get the full experience.įrom a business perspective though it makes sense.Īn unlimited subscriber is worth additional revenue.Ī prime subscriber using a free tier is a cost I agree with you - from a consumer perspective. And so many existing customers will not commit some mass exodus from their service like they are now. If I am not mistaken here that will meet the current status quo, give them even more money as it encourages them to purchase prime (because prime has more benefits than just Amazon music unlimited). The free Spotify mobile version they made for the rest of us peasants can be for the people who want to use it but have no prime subscription. So the ultimate solution would be for amazon to give Amazon music unlimited to the existing prime members as an added perk of owning prime for only and I mean ONLY a SLIGHT increase in the subscription payment. The extra 9 dollars is enough to turn me off and most others from what I am seeing. There is no way they needed this change to "Increase value of unlimited". Prime is a monthly subscription so they are constantly making more and more and more and more money.
