When it comes to music streaming platforms, Apple Music and Spotify are the biggest rivals, but ultimately Spotify comes out on top. 

A unique factor that sets Spotify apart from Apple Music is that it has a personalized playlist, like Discover Weekly and a DJ feature, which makes a playlist of all your most listened to songs. 

Spotify offers a free ad supported plan, while Apple Music only offers a free month trial, and then you have to start paying $6 a month.

Because of the unlimited ad-supported Spotify plan for free, it makes it a way more highly-streamed platform and accessible to everyone, versus Apple Music.

Kaitlyn Poe ‘27, a Spotify user says, “Although the Spotify subscription is around the same price, I prefer it over Apple Music because of the easy accessibility and how easy it is to work the app.”

With millions of users from all over the world, Spotify continues to dominate the music streaming platform.

In the end, while both platforms offer lots of music options, Spotify’s combination of customization and accessibility makes it the more preferred choice for most listeners.
