One of the newer music streaming options in the marketplace is YouTube Music, which much like Spotify is offered in both ad-supported “freemium” and premium packages.

In solidarity with the scientific and medical communities, Neil Young and Joni Mitchellfrom Spotify this week, over concerns of the impact of misinformation shared on “The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.” Immediately, Twitter and other social platforms were flooded with calls to #CancelSpotify or #DeleteSpotify.

If you can’t stop “Rockin’ in the Free World,” you may be considering alternatives to Spotify’s Premium music service. This analysis will compare functionality between both services and will help you decide if YouTube Music is right for you. YouTube Music’s Premium tier costs $9.99 per month, aligning with the subscription fee of other streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.

But what many do not know is that YouTube Music’s Premium tier included in YouTube’s $11.99 Premium service. YouTube Premium offers ad-free video viewing across the entire YouTube platform. Premium also allows users to listen to videos in the background on a mobile device with the display turned off. The price difference is only $2, which makes it a pretty killer deal for both commercial-free YouTube and unlimited, ad-free music listening.

Keep in mind, YouTube does offer a one year Music Premium subscription for $99.99, a family plan for $14.99, for up to 5 users, and a student plan, for $4.99 per month. That price is bumped up to $119.99, $17.99 and $6.99, respectively, for YouTube Premium. Both services also offer a free one-month trial.
