Amazon Music Unlimited is raising its prices, here’s what you need to know about the new rates and features.

Amazon has officially announced a price increase for its Music Unlimited streaming service, which will affect users in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The new pricing structure takes effect for new subscribers starting January 29, 2025, while existing customers will see the updated rates applied to their next renewal date on or after March 5, 2025.

This marks the second price hike in less than two years, following an earlier increase in August 2023. As competition intensifies in the music streaming space, Amazon is adjusting its rates to keep up with industry trends and expand its content offerings.

New pricing

For individual subscribers:

Prime Members:
- Monthly price increasing from $9.99 to $10.99
- Annual plan rising from $99 to $109
Non-Prime Members:
- Monthly price increasing from $10.99 to $11.99

For families (Up to 6 Users):

Monthly price rising from $16.99 to $19.99
Annual plan increasing from $169 to $199

Amazon has not yet announced changes to its discounted student plans, which currently stand at $5.99 per month. However, adjustments could be made in the near future.
