In their own words
Amazon Music
Amazon Music streams music and podcasts, with free listening that does not require a credit card. Prime members get ad-free music and top podcasts, and can shuffle-play artists, albums, or playlists. Amazon Music Unlimited adds on-demand access to 100 million songs and thousands of programmed playlists and stations. Its catalog includes lossless HD and Ultra HD tracks, plus spatial audio including Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio. Unlimited subscribers can download songs or playlists for offline listening, but those downloads are accessible only in the Amazon Music app; Prime downloads are limited to All-Access Playlists. Alexa voice controls let listeners request music on compatible Alexa-enabled devices, and app casting works to Alexa-enabled devices except Fire TVs. Apps and web access are listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Unlimited Individual costs $11.99 a month, or $99 a year for Prime members; Family costs $19.99 a month, or $159 a year for Prime members. Free and other paid options are also listed.
Deezer
Deezer is a music streaming service from a company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Paris, France. Its free plan costs nothing and provides ad-supported streaming with access to over 120 million songs. Deezer also lists a 30-day trial. The service supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with offline listening and lossless audio available. Paid plan entries are organized by account count: Premium and Premium Annual cover one account, Duo and Duo Annual cover two, and Family and Family Annual cover six. A Student plan is also listed. Deezer is therefore presented as a freemium service with free listening and several account-based paid options. Listeners can use it across browsers, computers, and mobile devices, and can choose plans that match individual, student, two-account, or six-account use.
