How to choose your plan

Decide whether personalized radio is enough or whether you want to choose individual songs on demand. Compare a family subscription with the number of paid individual accounts you actually need, and check the billing channel before subscribing.

Write down the subscriptions you already have, the content you want and how many months you expect to watch or listen. Compare the same period and the same features. Our streaming budget calculator adds monthly plans across services.
