Amazon Music Unlimited is the latest streaming service to raise its subscription prices. Despite the fact that many of these streaming services make a lot of money, they raise prices almost every year, some even twice a year.

Earlier this week, Amazon announced that it was raising the price of both the individual and family plans of its music service. The former didn't go up much, but the latter now costs $3 more.
If you're not an Amazon Music Unlimited customer but are considering subscribing to the service, then you'll have to pay $10.99 per month (down from $9.99 per month) for the individual plan or $20 per month (down from $17 per month) for the family plan.
Those looking to save a little money can do so by paying $109 per year (down from $99 per year) for the individual plan or $199 per year (down from $169 per year) for the family plan. Note that if you don't have Prime, the individual plan price becomes $11.99 per month (down from $10.99 per month).

Amazon has already announced that new customers signing up for its Music Unlimited streaming service will have to pay the new prices. However, for existing customers, the updated prices will take effect with their next monthly renewal bill, on or after March 5, 2025.
Customers on a free trial will continue to receive the discount for the remainder of their offer period. Amazon confirmed that it will honor the original subscription price, plus applicable taxes, for the first full-price billing cycle. The new pricing, plus applicable taxes, will go into effect on your bill after that.
