In the US, for individuals, Spotify comes in two flavours: Spotify Free and Spotify Premium. Spotify Free is the audio company’s ad-supported music streaming model, while for a monthly subscription Spotify Premium gives listeners all the features they need.įor this comparison we’ll be looking at Amazon Music Unlimited, as this most closely competes with Spotify Premium.īoth streaming services offer the same basic features such as ad-free listening, offline and on-demand playback, letting you listen to any song, anywhere, with unlimited skips. While both streaming services offer the streaming of lossy MP3 files at up to 320 kbps, Amazon Music HD recently brought the previously $12.99/month hi-fi streaming feature to regular Amazon Music Unlimited memberships at no additional cost.

Amazon Music HD gives users access to music in ultra HD, at up to 24-bit/192 kHz, as well as exclusive ultra HD remastered albums.
