Currently, Spotify is still the music streaming service provider with the largest number of subscribers, amounting to 71 million, for its premium services.
Apple first launched Apple Music on June 30, 2015, seven years after Spotify was released on October 7, 2008. Unlike Spotify, Apple offers a free trial period of three months, before customers have to pay a subscription fee of US $ 9.99 per month.
Meanwhile, family packages require users to pay a subscription fee of US $ 14.99 per month for six users. Spotify offers a free package with advertising support that comes in the middle of the song playback.
