Last month, Spotify announced<\/a> a new round of price increases for subscribers in the United States and other countries. As the price increases start to go into effect starting with February renewals, Apple Music is poking fun at Spotify\u2019s drama on social media.<\/p>\n Apple Music is also offering a free three-month trial right now<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a refresher, here are the price increases for Spotify\u2019s plans in the United States:<\/p>\n Spotify last increased<\/a> US prices in June 2024, when Spotify Premium went from $10.99 to $11.99 in the United States. In 2023, that price went<\/a> from $9.99 to $10.99, the service\u2019s first ever price increase.<\/p>\n Spotify says that the latest price increase will let it \u201ckeep delivering a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n As this latest Spotify price increase has started going into effect this month, Spotify Premium subscribers have taken to social media<\/a> to voice their frustration.<\/p>\n In a post<\/a> on social media today, Apple Music decided to poke a little fun: \u201cBTW, we\u2019re still the same price.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s a clear jab at Spotify and frustrated subscribers.<\/p>\n When Apple Music launched<\/a> in 2015, it was $9.99 per month. Apple implemented its first and only price increase<\/a> for Apple Music<\/a> in October 2022, bumping the individual plan to $10.99 per month. The price hasn\u2019t changed since then.<\/p>\n So Apple Music is $1 per month cheaper for individual subscribers, but the big difference is the $5 per month in family plans. Apple Music is also offering a free three-month trial right now<\/a>, available until February 24. <\/p>\n Apple Music is also included in the Apple One bundle plans<\/a>, which include other services like Apple TV, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and more.<\/p>\n Are you an Apple Music or Spotify subscriber?
