This one needed an actual update because the streaming-service math changed.
So, is Amazon Music Unlimited worth it in 2026? It can be — especially if you already have Prime — but this is not the giant price gap it used to be.
How much is Amazon Music Unlimited right now?
Amazon currently lists Music Unlimited at $12.99 a month for non-Prime customers and $11.99 a month for Prime members.
The service includes on-demand access to more than 100 million songs, ad-free music, and higher-quality audio options including HD, Ultra HD, and Spatial Audio.
That one-dollar Prime discount is still nice. It just is not the huge undercut older comparisons made it look like.
How does Amazon Music Unlimited compare with Spotify?
Spotify says its current individual Premium plan is $12.99 a month.
- Amazon Music Unlimited: $12.99/month
- Amazon Music Unlimited for Prime members: $11.99/month
- Spotify Premium Individual: $12.99/month
If you already pay for Prime, Amazon is currently one dollar less per month than Spotify Premium Individual. Without Prime, the monthly price is the same.
Does Spotify have lossless audio now?
Yes. Spotify Premium now supports lossless streaming up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC on supported devices.
That matters because one of the old reasons to pick Amazon Music Unlimited was that Amazon offered lossless audio while Spotify did not. That comparison is no longer current.
So when does Amazon Music Unlimited make sense?
If you already have Prime, the lower member price gives Amazon a small advantage. And if you already use Amazon devices and services all the time, keeping your music in the same ecosystem may be the easiest option.
That is a better reason to choose it than pretending the price difference is massive.
When would I stay with Spotify?
If your playlists, recommendations, and listening history already live in Spotify, saving one dollar a month as a Prime member may not be enough reason to move everything.
Especially now that lossless audio is part of Spotify Premium too.
Is Amazon Music Unlimited worth it?
For Prime members, it can still be a solid value. The current Prime-member price is slightly below Spotify Premium Individual, the catalog is huge, and Amazon includes high-resolution audio options.
But it is not an automatic bargain anymore. The two services are close enough in price and core features that I would choose based on the app, devices, recommendations, and library setup you actually want to use every day.
