For this coming fall we will have the best music streaming services from the palm of your hand from our beloved Android. Google Play Music, Apple Music and Spotify will be there waiting for us from the Play Store so that we finally decide on one and thus access the best musical offer of the moment.
Now, let's compare the three services to find out about their paid offers, since the free one goes through Google Play Music with 50.000 free songs to upload or on Spotify with this option with advertising between songs when we play one of our favorite playlists. Quite a confrontation that we will be present for in the coming months, since Spotify and Play Music will surely make a move before the final arrival of Apple Music on Android.
The price of Apple Music, Google Play Music and Spotify
After letting us be fooled by the musical offer From some music streaming service, we went to see the price with which it arrives and this is the thing at this time: Spotify Premium for $ 9,99 and Google Play Music All Access for $ 9,99 per month also. All three have a free trial period, 60 days for Spotify, 30 days for Google and Apple with three months and a price as well, like the other two of $ 9,99. I am referring to the prices in dollars because at the moment we do not know the exchange rate in euros for the Apple Music service.
Apple Music has a $ 14,99 family plan while Spotify has it too for this price. The Play Music offer is unlimited.
The availability of each
Counting on Apple Music to be available in the fall, we can access your music offer from Android and iOS devices, and from desktop apps on Windows and Mac.
Google Play Music here suffers in what are the exclusive apps for the two platforms for computers such as Windows and Mac, since we can only access its repertoire from a web interface. In what are their apps for mobile devices for both iOS and Android.
Spotify if you have apps for Windows, Mac and Linux, and for mobile devices even Windows Phone without forgetting iOS and Android.
We also highlight that all three have offline modes In order to download songs and save a few megabytes when it comes to not spending what we have from the monthly data plan.
Catalog quality of the three
Spotify and Play Music count with more than 30 million songs and streaming quality of 320Kbps. Apple iTunes has 26 million songs, but through Apple Music you can access content that is not yet included in iTunes.
One detail that differentiates Play Music is that with its All Access it offers YouTube Key free of charge that allows access to all the videos on YouTube without the happy advertising, so its offer is advantageous in this regard, apart from other features such as playing in the background.
Comparison table with which to deduce which service is better
The three of us make it quite difficult And deciding which is the best, it will be a matter of time, since by the time Apple Music is available on Android, in the long run we will know how users are opting for one or the other. A comparison table can help us in this case.

Google Play Music is not only web, and the Android app what?
I mean that on Mac and Windows you can only access Play Music from the web interface. Spotify has its own app for these two systems: =)
From the comparative table I was struck by the video content, what does this consist of, since I have used google play music since it was released for invitations, and I did not know that this was an option, or is this something for those who pay the monthly service?
Youtube Music Key is included in All Access
Well, I've had Play Music all access since it came out and I even pay a promotional price. I have never had YouTube key and therefore I cannot watch videos, I understand that this service was only available in the US or is it already in other markets as well? Because here in Mexico not yet.
Regarding the fact that it does not have free access, that I know if it has and for you to upload your music collection and listen to it wherever you want (I started using it that way).
I have already updated the post, I was wrong about Play Music, which has a free version! Greetings
Spotify lets you listen to whatever you want in random mode for free. End of battle
Play Music too.
If you download the mod from spotify, you can listen to everything you want without random mode and for free! End of the battle.
