This viewpoint is by Andrew Beckley Spotify reigns supreme At the end of the day, it’s all subjective to which app a person prefers to listen to their music on - even though Apple Music is and always will be better. It’s odd at first, but eventually, a person gets the hang of things and will either love it or hate it. It’s like when an Android user switches to an Apple device or vice versa. If a person were to spend an extended amount of time on Apple Music, they would still figure out all the features and how everything is organized on the app. However, I would counter by saying Spotify is hard to navigate. Some may think Apple Music is difficult to navigate, but I think this is a bad argument to make. On top of that, Apple Music also keeps track of how many times you listened to an album/song and gives you your most listened to songs of the year, which Spotify does, but they don’t list the exact number like Apple Music does. This is a blatant lie! Apple Music has been making a “Replay” playlist for me since 2014. There is a big misconception Apple Music doesn’t make an end of the year playlist for you.

Ultimately, this is a pretty good deal, because if you paid for those individually, it’d be $20.95 per month. This bundles Apple Music with Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 50 GB of iCloud storage in the individual membership for $14.95 per month. This is due to Apple having to make deals with other companies - for example, Apple One.

So, in that sense, Spotify takes the upper hand. The student version of Apple Music only gives you the same perks of the individual accounts, which is to be able to download as much music as you want and to be able to listen to it all offline.

With Spotify, you get Hulu, SHOWTIME, and the perks of Spotify Premium in the student package for $4.99 a month. To start, we must consider the price and the amenities that come with a subscription.
