Does Amazon Music’s free trial auto-renew into a paid subscription?
Yes. After your 90-day free trial has expired, Amazon won’t ask you whether you’d like to continue your subscription. Unless you’ve unsubscribed prior to the trial end date, you will be charged for the next month. This is why Amazon requires entering your payment information before the 90-day trial.

Do I need Amazon Music if I have Amazon Prime?
With your Amazon Prime membership, you get a free Amazon Music Prime subscription.

Amazon Music HD brings all the benefits of the Unlimited subscription to the table, plus more premium quality music and access to CD-quality playback.
Is Spotify better than Amazon Music?
Although they are both music streaming services, Spotify and Amazon Music are very different, and not just in terms of in-app aesthetics. Amazon Music has more subscription pricing options than Spotify.
However, Spotify still remains at the top of the music streaming services food chain, owing to its brilliant recommendation algorithm. Spotify, however, can’t be regarded as “better” than Amazon Music – it all boils down to personal preference.
Is Amazon Prime worth the money?
Although you can get all Amazon Music subscriptions without Amazon Prime, this membership brings a ton of benefits to the table. For the yearly fee of around $120, not only do you get free access to Amazon Music, but also various discounts and benefits on Amazon. When you think about it, for just $10 per month, you get access to Amazon Music and various other benefits.
Canceling Amazon Music Subscriptions
Whatever Amazon Music plan you’re subscribed to, you can cancel it in a variety of ways, using different devices. All in all, however, with the Amazon Prime membership, you get a full package of benefits, including the regular Amazon Music subscription, for free.
Granted, the Ultimate and HD plans bring significant improvement to the table, but you may not need these. If you’re feeling like you’re spending too much on Amazon, cancel the Ultimate/HD plans, and keep using the default Amazon Music subscription.
