Spotify vs. Apple Music
The battle of the top two music streaming services for college students. Personally, I prefer Spotify; however, there are some Apple Music perks I wish I had. So, for those of you still debating, here’s a comparison on the two:
1. Spotify Premium for Students
- $.99 for the first 3 months then $4.99/month
- Comes with Showtime and Hulu
- Can download music to listen offline
- NO ads
- Make and Share Playlists
2. Apple Music for Students
- 3 month free trial then $4.99/month
- Can download music to listen offline
- NO ads
- Original shows and concert exclusives
Spotify to me is better because I am the average college student….
I love the fact that I can get my music, Hulu, AND Showtime all included in one subscription. Yes, Apple Music gets music released slightly before Spotify does, but what you’re getting I think not being able to listen to an album or song an hour two after everyone else is worth it.
