Bringing More Content and Features, Reason Behind Price Updates
“To help us bring you even more content and features, we’re updating the prices of select Amazon Music Unlimited plans,” the company wrote on its website.
Savings for Prime Members Compared to Non-Prime Members
The changes come as Amazon increased the price of the Amazon Music Unlimited Individual Plan from $9.99 to $10.99 per month earlier this year for non-Prime members. With these new changes announced this week, Prime members still save $1 on the service when compared to non-Prime members.
