When it comes to mainstream music service provider, Spotify and Apple Music, perhaps Amazon Music as well, that should be ranked at the top three music streaming service, but YouTube Music has grown up very rapidly in recent years. You must be curious about the things like how it works, what is the difference between YouTube Music and YouTube video, and how can it be compared with other streaming services like Spotify. Right on! This article will tell you everything you need to know about YouTube Music.
YouTube Music is a music streaming service developed by YouTube; it provides a similar interface with YouTube page, allowing users to browse through songs and music videos on YouTube based on genres, playlists, and recommendations. The service also offers a premium tier, which enables ad-free playback, audio-only background playback, and downloading songs for offline streaming. Besides, these subscription benefits are also offered to subscribers of Google Play Music and YouTube Premium, which makes it more flexible.
YouTube Music and YouTube Music Premium are essentially the same as the YouTube Music Premium. YouTube Premium is Google’s new paid ad-free service. It costs $13.99 a month and includes ad-free video. For YouTube Music Premium, it is included in YouTube Premium but can also be purchased as a stand-alone subscription for $10.99 a month. For the 10.99 plan, it includes music playlists, music videos, remixes and live versions of songs.
YouTube Music Premium is also $10.99/month for individuals and $16.99/month for the family plan (up to 6 members over 13 years of age with a Google account). According to the subscription plans from Spotify and Apple Music, the price is the same with these two services. However, there is one advantage for YouTube Music over Spotify and Apple Music, you can listen to a lot of music with videos for FREE. With YouTube Music subscription, users can access the ad-free content and offline playback, plus a $2/month extra to get YouTube Premium for ad-free videos from YouTube as well, plus the access to Google Play Music, and vice versa. But if you simply want to listen to your favorite songs without other requirements, YouTube Music must be a great choice for you. See the detailed comparison for YouTube Music vs Spotify/Apple Music.
