Spotify is Better Compared to Apple Music

Spotify has to offer.

While most songs can be found on both platforms, Spotify has a plethora of podcasts available within the app while Apple Music requires a separate streaming service for podcasts. Spotify’s podcast selection also allows users to upload unreleased songs in a special format that cannot be found on Apple Music, which I belive makes Spotify better.

Spotify is a better streaming platform for music than Apple Music.

There has been an ongoing debate between Spotify and Apple Music users about which platform is worth your while. I personally believe Spotify is the winner of this debate due to the wide variety of music, podcasts, and personally curated playlists

Another difference between Spotify and Apple Music is that Spotify allows users to collaborate with each other when creating playlists. This is beneficial for friends who want to share music with each other and for people working within an organization to collaborate music within a group. Senior Ellen Moonan said, “One reason I use Spotify is because you can share playlists with other people and it allows them to collaborate on it and add music of their own.” Moonan stated that Spotify has made it easy to create a collaborative music playlist for her sorority recruitment and invite parties. Both services offer a plan for students to stream music at a low cost, but Spotify’s student plan is $4.99 a month while Apple Music’s student plan is $5.99 a month. Additionally, Spotify allows free listening with advertisements, while Apple Music offers a one-month free trial only after you provide information for future payments. Although the difference in cost may seem small, it makes a big difference to students looking to save as much money as possible. However, some students would disagree. Senior Maddie Knightly said, “Apple Music allows my family and me to listen to music all under the same plan and was a cheaper option. It also has better sound quality than other platforms.”

Additionally, Spotify offers a unique feature called Spotify Wrapped, which allows users to view their listening history throughout the year. I believe, this gives Spotify the upper hand in terms of social media influence because Spotify Wrapped gets people talking want to join to see their results.
