Amazon Music Unlimited Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

Amazon Music Unlimited is Amazon's paid music streaming tier. It lets you play any song on demand, download music for offline listening, and stream in high-quality and spatial audio formats. It is separate from the music that comes with an Amazon Prime membership, which has a more limited listening experience.

What you pay depends on your plan and on whether you already pay for Prime, because Prime members get a lower rate. The prices on this page come from a news report by Music Business Worldwide about Amazon's 2026 price increase, checked on Oct 11, 2026. Amazon changes its pricing from time to time, so confirm the current rate on Amazon's official Music Unlimited page before you subscribe.

The table shows the monthly price of each plan in our data after the 2026 increase.

Individual Plan

The individual plan covers one listener. Prime members pay $11.99/mo, while everyone else pays $12.99/mo. If you already have Prime for shipping or Prime Video, the member rate brings Music Unlimited slightly below the non-member price. If you do not have Prime, compare the Prime membership fee with the discount before joining Prime for this reason alone.

Family Plan

The family plan costs $21.99/mo and gives separate accounts to several people in one household. Each member gets their own recommendations and playlists. For two or more regular listeners, it usually costs less than paying for individual plans side by side.

Other Plans

Amazon has also offered other versions of Music Unlimited, such as a single-device plan tied to one Echo speaker or Fire TV, a student plan, and annual billing for some plans. We do not have verified current prices for those options, so check the official page if one of them fits you.

Every Prime membership includes Amazon Music Prime at no extra cost. It gives access to a large catalog, but with listening limits; for most songs, you cannot pick and play any track you want at any time the way you can with Unlimited. Amazon has changed the Prime music features over the years, so check the current comparison on Amazon's site.

Music Unlimited removes those limits and adds on-demand playback of the full catalog, offline downloads, and high-quality audio. If you mostly listen to playlists and stations in the background, Prime's included music may be enough. If you want to pick specific songs and albums, Unlimited is the paid upgrade.

Amazon raised Music Unlimited prices in the US in early 2026. According to Music Business Worldwide, the new prices applied to existing US subscribers on or after March 5, 2026.

Before the increase, the family plan cost $19.99/mo; it now costs $21.99/mo. The Prime member individual rate, previously $10.99/mo, is now $11.99/mo. The same report notes that this was Amazon's second Music Unlimited increase within about a year. Existing subscribers can check their current renewal price in their Amazon account under memberships and subscriptions.

Sales tax may be added depending on your state. If you subscribe through an Apple or Google app store, the price and billing terms may be different from subscribing on Amazon's website.

A few ways to keep the cost down:

• Use the Prime rate: if you already pay for Prime, make sure your subscription is billed at the member price.
• Share a family plan: if several people in your home listen regularly, one family plan usually costs less than separate individual plans.
• Watch for promotions: Amazon sometimes offers free or discounted months to new subscribers. Terms vary and are not part of our data.
