How to Get Amazon Music for Cheaper or for Free

1. Switch Your Amazon Music Unlimited Subscription Plan

Amazon offers three Music Unlimited subscription plans – the Unlimited Individual Plan, Family Plan, and Single Device Plan. The differences between these plans are highlighted in the table below.

For example, if you’re currently on the Amazon Individual plan paying $9.99 per month as a non-Prime customer, you can move to the Single Device Plan for $3.99 per month. With the Single Device plan, you get all the benefits of Amazon Music Unlimited to use on your Echo device at a lower price.

Also, you can switch to the Amazon Unlimited Family Plan and split the bill with five other people, costing you only $2.50 per month.

You can learn how to switch your Amazon Music Unlimited plans based on the plan you’re switching to and from on this page.

2. Downgrade Your Amazon Music Plan

You can get Amazon Music Premium at no additional cost if you’re a Prime member. As you can see from the table, Amazon Music Premium offers fewer features than the Unlimited subscription. However, you still will have access to over 2 million titles. 

If you’re currently on one of the Amazon Music Unlimited subscription plans, first follow the steps above to cancel your Unlimited membership. Then, as a Prime member, you will automatically have access to  Amazon Music Premium.

Alternatively, everyone can stream music for free on Amazon. With the Free plan, you will have access to thousands of stations and top playlists. The small price you have to pay is the interruption of ads from time to time. 

To downgrade to the Free plan, you first need to cancel your paid Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. Then, head to Amazon Music Free to start streaming for free.

3. Take Advantage of the Student Plan

If you are enrolled at an accredited college or university, you might qualify for the Amazon Music Student Plan at only $0.99 per month.
