That sounds like a clear win for Amazon, but numbers don’t tell the full story: those 20 million tracks could be so obscure that nobody listens for all we know. Spotify is a bit more opaque about the size of its library, but back in February 2021, the company boasted of a library containing “ more than 70 million tracks.” While Amazon Music Free and Prime have pretty small libraries (“2 million hand-curated songs” according to the company), Amazon Music Unlimited builds on this considerably with 90 million tracks. That’s $12.99 a month for couples that live together, and not only grants each a Premium subscription, but curates a charming shared playlist of each partner’s favorite tracks. While Spotify can’t compete with all that, it does offer a rather neat option for couples called Spotify Duo. ![]() Note that this only works on a single device, and it can’t be transferred, so if you have an Echo in every room, you’ll want a full Unlimited subscription regardless. This Prime-included plan doesn’t work with Amazon’s Echo smart speakers, which requires an Unlimited account, but Amazon does have a cheap alternative: for $3.99 per month, you can get an Echo-only subscription. Prime members also get an ad-free service called Amazon Prime Music included in their subscription free of charge: it doesn’t have the library of Unlimited, but it may be enough for casual listeners. ![]() For starters, if you’re a member of Amazon Prime, the price of Music Unlimited automatically drops to $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year (~$6.67 per month.) However, Amazon is a bit more flexible here.
