Amazon Music Unlimited just got more expensive for customers with and without a Prime membership.
Amazon on Wednesday increased the price of the music streaming service's Individual and Family plans. Individual went from $11 to $12 per month for non-Prime members and from $10 to $11 per month (or $99 per year to $109) for Prime customers. Family plans jumped from $17 to $20 per month or $169.00 to $199.00 per year. Amazon last hiked the price of these plans in 2023.
The new prices go into effect for existing customers on or after March 5, according to Amazon's FAQ site. Amazon Music Unlimited includes songs, podcasts and more recently, audiobooks from Audible, and differs from Amazon Music Prime, which comes as a free perk with a Prime membership. That version also includes ad-free songs and podcasts, but you have skip limits and can't download or pick and play any song you want unless you have Unlimited.
With the hike, Amazon's Individual plan (without the Prime discount) costs as much as Spotify's, and Apple Music's Individual price is $1 less at $11. For more on each service, here are our picks for the best music streamers.
