Nowadays, there are plenty of players in the music streaming industry, but Spotify and Apple Music are currently at the top of the heap. Both of them are similar for users to pay around $10 per month for listening to a virtually unlimited supply of full-length tracks, but there are still some differences to meet different needs for different users. For instance, Apple Music, known for its high-level exclusive releases and full integration into Apple's popular iOS ecosystem, often is preferred by some iDevice owners or some fans of those exclusive album's artist; Spotify offers Free tier to stream millions of ad-supported tracks, which is a great choice for casual listeners.
