The current standard Music Unlimited offer for existing Prime members begins with a 3-months free trial and then requires a $8.99/month fee. Not a Prime member? You can sign up for a 30-day trial (opens in new tab) and cancel before your trial runs out.
How are Music Unlimited and Prime Music the same?
What does Music Unlimited have that Prime Music doesn’t?
If you love to chat with Alexa, you’ll also prefer Music Unlimited, which allows for a stronger set of voice commands. For example, if a friend told me that Lorde’s latest record is amazing (it is), I could just say “Alexa, play Lorde’s Pure Heroine album,” to hear it. If your needs are less specific, just ask the assistant to play music by an artist (“Alexa, play Run The Jewels”) to get a playlist of that musician’s most popular tracks. Music Unlimited also unlocks Alexa’s ability to name the song that’s stuck in your head. If you say “Alexa, play the song that goes, ‘You see what I mean?, USDA certified lean,’” it will recognize the tune as “The Man” by The Killers. You can also ask Alexa to pull up songs from a specific decade, mood or genre. More: Get more from Alexa with these 30 best Alexa skills.
How much more does Music Unlimited cost?
Music Unlimited costs an extra $8.99 per month for Prime members, which costs $14.99 per month per month, though you can save $40 with its $139 per year annual billing. Without Prime, you’ll spend $9.99 per month for Music Unlimited, though if you only want to use Music Unlimited on an Echo, Echo Dot or Tap speaker, that costs just $4.99 per month.
Who is Music Unlimited best for?
If you’re a Prime subscriber, especially if you’ve got Alexa-enabled devices, you should seriously consider Music Unlimited. Not only will you save a few dollars per month over Spotify Premium or Apple Music, but you’ll be using a service that’s made for the speakers you’ve peppered your home with.
