Amazon Music Unlimited review

Amazon Music Unlimited is the full on-demand service, separate from the smaller music selection that comes with Prime. It offers 100 million songs ad-free, HD and Spatial Audio, and ad-free top podcasts, and Amazon now includes one Audible audiobook each month in the plan. After a 30-day trial it costs $12.99 a month, or $11.99 if you already pay for Prime, which makes it cheaper than Spotify for Prime households and competitive with Apple Music. It works well with Alexa speakers and Echo devices, which is where many people already use it. The tradeoffs are a less social app than Spotify, fewer collaborative and sharing features, and value that drops for anyone without Prime, since the full price matches Spotify's. Amazon also pushes users to its own devices and apps more than rivals do. If you shop on Amazon and listen through Alexa, it is an easy, sensible choice.
