While Apple Music has around 13 million subscribers, Spotify currently leads the way with more than 30 million paid users. Previously, Spotify’s $14.99 per month family plan allowed access for two users. Up to five family members could subscribe for a whopping $29.99 per month. A single user can subscribe for $9.99 monthly.
Spotify is available to access from an iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Changes ahead for Apple Music?
Originally launching last summer, Apple recently matched Spotify with a $4.99 per month deal for students.
The service has been dogged by more than a few complaints.
Along with issues with the general layout and confusing options, Apple confirmed that “an extremely small number” of Apple Music users have had music files removed from their computer without permission.
That problem was fixed with the introduction of iTunes 12.4.
Apple is also expected to unveil new changes to the service with iOS 10 and OS X 10.12 at WWDC next month.
