In this comprehensive deals guide, we've found the best music app subscription deals in 2023, from Spotify to YouTube Premium. To help you find the best prices, we've compared all music apps below and included free trial information and money-off for up to 3 months.

Music subscription services have completely transformed the way music is listened to, released and accessed. Long gone are the days of CDs and cassette tapes (sadly) and music apps and subscriptions have happily taken their place.

Music subscriptions unlock a wide selection of songs, albums, podcasts and new releases. While you can find many music apps for free, the majority of users pay per month or annually to avoid ads, listen offline, skip through playlists and extra features.

Due to the cost of living crisis, many subscription services are taking a hit with people cancelling them in favour of saving extra money per month. Alongside streaming services and fitness apps, music subscriptions have also been experiencing a drop in numbers but if you don’t want to give up your services, we’ve found some of the best deals on music subscriptions for this month, including Spotify, Amazon Music and SoundCloud.

Are there any free music subscription services?

Yes! All of the music subscriptions that we’ve mentioned above (Amazon Music Free, Apple Music, Deezer Free, Spotify Free, SoundCloud, Tidal Free and YouTube Music) offer a free subscription plan so you don’t have to pay for any of them if you don’t want to. This is a great way to save some extra money and if you’re more of a casual listener, you can enjoy music whenever you want to without worrying about not getting your money’s worth.

However, there are a few drawbacks to not paying for these services. With a free plan, your listening will be interrupted by ads, you’ll have a limited amount of skips and you won’t have many features like downloading and listening offline. If you’re on a tight budget, you can always cancel or pause your subscription and come back to it when you want to.
