\n\tApp<\/a>le Music is raised its prices by $1, the streaming service confirmed on Friday, marking its first price hike since 2022. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs a result of rising licensing costs, Apple Music is increasing its\u00a0subscription price beginning today,\u201d Apple said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\n\tA standard premium subscription will now cost $11.99 per month, according to Apple\u2019s website, while the family plan is up $3 from $16.99 to $19.99. Its student plan has gone up a dollar to $6.99 per month. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe new price still puts Apple Music at $1 less per month than its chief rival Spotify, whose cheapest premium plan goes for $12.99. Spotify confirmed a price hike of its own back in January as well. Spotify\u2019s premium subscription, though, also includes 15 hours per month of audiobooks. (That audiobooks offering has been controversial in the music publishing industry, as the bundle allows Spotify to pay out a lesser royalty rate to songwriters.)<\/p>\n

\n\tPrice hikes of course frustrate consumers, and today\u2019s change will likely be no different. Still, industry stakeholders including the major record labels have been advocating for streaming services to charge more for years, both to account for inflation and to close the gap with what they argue is still an undervalued product as what amounts to the cost of one CD now gives customers access to hundreds of millions of songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tApple last raised its price on Apple Music in October 22, also raising Apple TV+\u2019s price at the time. Apple similarly attributed the 2022 music price hike to rising licensing costs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
