The higher price of Amazon Music Unlimited for Prime members comes after increases by major rivals. However, Prime members listening on Amazon Music who don’t subscribe to an unlimited plan are now mostly limited to shuffle-play mode, based on artist, album or playlist. That includes the full catalog of 100 million tracks, plus added hundreds of thousands of podcast episodes ad-free (including the entire slate of Wondery’s shows).
There’s still a version of Amazon Music available to Prime members for no extra cost. In May 2022, the company had raised the price of the Amazon Music Unlimited individual plan for Prime members from $7.99 to $8.99 per month.
