Amazon Music’s pricing system appears complex due to the various subscription options and discounts available. Whether you already have an Amazon Prime membership or are looking for a standalone streaming plan, here’s a complete guide to Amazon Music Unlimited pricing, features, and subscription options to help you choose the best plan.
Amazon Music Prime is included with the Prime membership, meaning that Prime members have access to the Amazon Music Prime tier at no additional cost. Amazon Music Prime has the same music catalog as Amazon Music Unlimited, but with limited features: shuffle-only playback, no offline playback (except for “All-Access” playlists), no HD or spatial audio, and limited skips on mobile.
Amazon Music Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year with a 30-day free trial. For college students and anyone aged 18 to 24, it comes with a 6-month free trial and then auto-renews at $7.49 per month or $69 per year. Qualifying government assistance recipients and income-verified customers can get Prime Access for $6.99 per month.
With Amazon Prime, you will get:
Amazon Music Unlimited is the top tier of Amazon Music with HD and spatial audio, offline playback and unlimited skips. It requires a separate subscription and offers several pricing options, including Individual, Family, Single Device, and Student. Amazon Music Unlimited prices differ between Amazon Prime members and non-Prime members.
Visit amazon.com/music/settings in your browser, log in to your Amazon account, and you will see the price.
Monthly discounts and annual plans are available only to Prime members. Non-Prime members can’t get the annual discount.
| Amazon Music Unlimited Prices | Prime Members | Non-Prime Member |
| Individual | $11.99/month or $119.00/year | $12.99/month |
| Family (up to six members) | $21.99/month or $219.00/year | $21.99/month |
| Single Device (Echo or Fire TV) | $5.99/month | $5.99/month |
| Student | $5.99/month | $5.99/month |
As you can see in the table above, Amazon Music Unlimited is not included with an Amazon Prime membership. Prime members also need to pay for Amazon Music Unlimited, but at a discounted price.
Amazon Music Prime is included for free with an Amazon Prime membership, while you need to pay extra for Amazon Music Unlimited plans.
Both Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited users listen to music in the same Amazon Music app or web player and access the entire catalog of over 100 million songs.
Amazon Music Prime users can only shuffle-play artists, albums, or playlists, except for a selection of personalized All-Access playlists, which they can play on demand and download for offline listening. While Amazon Music Unlimited users get on-demand music, unlimited skips, HD and spatial audio, and the ability to download music for offline playback.
| Individual | Annual | Family | Student | |
| YouTube Premium (YouTube Music Premium included) | $15.99/month | $159.99 | $26.99/month | $8.99/month |
| YouTube Music Premium | $11.99/month | $119.99 | $18.99/month | $5.99/month |
| Spotify* | $12.99/month | $21.99/month | $6.99/month | |
| Apple Music | $10.99/month | $109 | $16.99/month | $5.99/month |

Amazon Music Unlimited is definitely worth it if you are a Prime member, considering the price and annual discount. However, if you don’t have Amazon Prime, there seem to be many other good options. Like YouTube Premium, for $15.99/month, you will get ad-free YouTube and YouTube Music, as well as the ability to download movies and music for offline playback. You no longer need free online or third party tools to download videos or songs from YouTube.
If you don’t want to pay for music, the Spotify free tier is a perfect choice. Amazon Music also has a free tier, but only offers a limited catalog – thousands of stations and top playlists.
Ultimately, the value of Amazon Music Unlimited depends on how much you enjoy and prioritize music streaming, the size and diversity of your music preferences, and your willingness to pay for an expanded music library and additional features. You can also consider trying out the service during any free trial periods to assess if it meets your expectations and complements your music listening habits.
One significant difference between Amazon Music Prime and Amazon Music Unlimited is the offline download feature. Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can download songs, albums, and playlists for offline listening when there is no internet connection. This allows you to enjoy your music even when you don’t have a stable internet connection, such as on flights, during road trips, or in areas with limited connectivity.
On the other hand, Amazon Music Prime, which is included with an Amazon Prime membership, can only download All-Access playlists to listen offline.
If offline listening and the convenience of having your music available without an internet connection are important to you, then Amazon Music Unlimited’s offline download feature may be worth considering. It offers the flexibility to enjoy your music library on the go, regardless of network availability.
