Another streaming service raises prices. This time, Amazon Music Unlimited is getting more expensive. Prime subscribers will pay $11 per month or $109 per year for an individual plan, up from $10 and $99 respectively. Non-Prime members will see their monthly rates change from $11 to $12 for the individual plan. The cost of the family plan has also increased from $17 to $20 per month and from $169 to $199 per year.
The new pricing structure went into effect for new subscribers on January 29. Current subscribers will receive the updated rates in the next billing cycle on or after March 5.
The FAQs detailing the price increase say that the changes will bring listeners “more content and features,” which was the same rationale given when Amazon Music Unlimited previously raised its rates in 2023. Since then, the service has added the ability to borrow Audible audiobooks and a personalized year in review, which is nice, but perhaps not as nice as paying less each month.
