Comparison of Amazon Music and YouTube Music
Before comparing Amazon Music and YouTube Music, Amazon Music has many plans when compared to other services, and we need to introduce them first.
About three types of music services of Amazon Music
Actually, there are three types of services, even if you say Amazon Music.
- Amazon Music Free
- Prime Music
- Amazon Music Unlimited
there is. Each is a free, prime member, and full-fledged music service, and you can use it properly depending on how you use it.
Amazon Music vs YouTube Music Comparison List
Let's look at the overall list first.
| YouTube music | Amazon Music Free | Prime Music | Amazon Music Unlimited | |
| Fee (basic) | 980 yen per month | free | Free for Prime members | 980 yen (780 yen for Prime members) |
| Free range | Video playback first month free | free. However, song selection is not possible. | 2 million songs available for download | none |
| Download / offline playback | Possible | Impossible | Possible | Possible |
| Compatible terminals | Smartphone PC Android TV Chromecast Google Home | Smartphone PC Alexa-equipped terminal Fire TV / Fire tablet | ||
| Sound quality | 256kbps | 256kbps | ||
Are you an Amazon Prime member or a heavy YouTube user?
As a point to the question "Which one do you use?"
- Whether you are an Amazon Prime member
- Whether you are a heavy YouTube user
There is a fork in.
If you are an Amazon Prime member, the monthly fee for "Amazon Music Unlimited" will be 780 yen, which is 200 yen cheaper than usual, and you can use it at the lowest price among music subscription services .
If you are a heavy YouTube user, you will have the option of using "YouTube Premium" . YouTube Premium is the "upper version" of YouTube Music , and in addition to being able to use YouTube Music as much as you want, it is the strongest course that allows you to download YouTube without ads and videos .
If you use YouTube quite heavily on a regular basis, you may want to consider YouTube Premium.
Free service comparison between Amazon Music and YouTube Music
YouTube Music is just a "music version YouTube app" if you do not register
In the case of YouTube Music, it seems that you can use everything from downloading the application to using it at first glance, but since you can not play only the audio or save the download without paying registration, you are using the music version of the normal YouTube application. It just looks like this.
In addition, since background playback is not possible, the specifications are such that playback with the screen closed, so-called "commuting to school playback," cannot be performed with the free version.
Amazon Music has different free parts depending on the service
Amazon Music is a bit complicated.
Free range of Amazon Music Free
First of all, Amazon Music Free is free to use, but you can't listen to any song due to the insertion of ads along the way. It's exactly the same as Spotify's free plan.
Free range of Prime Music
And Prime Music is a service that allows you to listen to 2 million songs for free if you are a Prime member. There is an opinion that "I don't know how much 2 million songs are limited", but when it comes to skin feeling, "I can hear one or two representative songs on an album released by a famous Japanese music artist , and I can't listen to anything else." It feels like. So, Amazon Music Free may be more convenient for listening.
Free range of Amazon Music Unlimited
The paid version of Unlimited is basically paid, but a 30-day free period is offered as a trial period. However, this free period can be 30 days, 90 days, or 0 days. As it changes from time to time like a campaign, it is necessary to check the display on the site before using it.
Amazon Music and YouTube Music pricing plan comparison
Next, I will explain the most important "fee".
▼ List Click here for the comparison.
| Plan name (monthly) | YouTube music | YouTube Music (AppStore) | Amazon Music Free | Prime Music | Amazon Music Unlimited |
| Personal plan | 980 yen | 1,280 yen | 0 Yen | Free for Prime members | 980 yen (Prime member: 780 yen) |
| Student discount | 480 yen | - | none | none | 480 yen |
| Family discount | 1,480 yen / 6 people | 1,950 yen | none | none | 1,480 yen / 6 people |
| Annual payment | - | - | none | none | Individual & Prime member: 7,800 yen Family plan: 14,800 yen |
YouTube Music paid version and Unlimited are at the same level
YouTube Music and Amazon Music Unlimited are listed as regular paid plans, but if you are not a Prime member, the amount will be exactly the same .
YouTube Music is a general price range, but be careful about "where to register"
If you look at the YouTube Music section, there is an item called YouTube Music (App Store) .
In the case of iPhone, if you register from within the app, you will be registered via Apple's App Store, so the monthly fee will be added by the amount of Apple's fee (30%). In that case, the amount will increase by 300 yen a month, so when you register for YouTube Music monthly, be sure to register for billing from the Web .
▼ For details, please see "YouTube Music payment method" in this article!
Registration from the Web is almost the same as a general music subscription fee.
The key to Amazon Music is whether it is a "prime member"
For Amazon Music, "whether or not you are a prime member" is related to the price.
With Prime Music, you can use it for free, and with Unlimited, you can save about 200 yen per month. Whether or not you can pay annually also depends on whether you are a Prime member or not.
If you are already a Prime member, you can save 2,400 yen a year
In this way, the difference of 200 yen per month for Amazon Music creates a merit of 2,400 yen when converted to a year.
Compare Amazon Music and YouTube Music Downloads and Offlines
An important issue for users who are concerned about traffic, "download and offline playback" .
▼ We compared each.
| YouTube music | Amazon Music Free | Prime Music | Amazon Music Unlimited | |
| Download and save | Possible | Impossible | Possible | Possible |
| Offline playback | Possible | Impossible | Possible | Possible |
By registering for a fee, both download and offline playback will be possible.
YouTube Music can also be "saved as video" and "played only by audio"
After all, the strength of YouTube Music is that it has abundant "videos (MV)" . In the case of Apple Music, although the songs and MV have been clearly divided, the case of YouTube Music, since the majority if the new songs will be present at MV, "and stored in the video enjoy the sound" can be said that increase.
Compare the artists on Amazon Music and YouTube Music
When comparing Amazon Music and YouTube Music, the most peculiar point is the "delivery artist".
Normal music subscription services including Amazon Music will start to be distributed all at once when the subscribe NG artist lifts the ban, but in the case of YouTube Music, even if the subscribe NG artist has MV or PV on YouTube, download and save it. -You can play offline.
▼ If you have subscribed to YouTube Music for a fee, you can download and play offline songs of "B'z" that have not been subscribed yet .
"Kenshi Yonezu" has lifted the ban on subscription the other day, but until then, he could only listen to YouTube Music.
However, the distribution artist is basically the same
Although there is a difference that the MV can be downloaded, the songs and albums of the artists displayed and hit in the search are the same for all music subscription services.
Many certists will unsubscribe in 2020
Many artists have lifted the ban on subscriptions this year, when the music industry was forced to make a major shift in its business model due to the influence of the new Corona, which made it impossible for the music industry to hold events.
For example, a well-known artist
- Kenshi YONEZU
- Radwimps
- aiko
- Hi-STANDARD
- storm
Well-known artists who lead the whole music sales, such as, are "subscribing" one after another.
Is it a rule of the music industry to lift the ban all at once?
When an artist who was a subscription NG in this way lifts the ban, basically all services are provided at the same time. I think this is an industry practice of releasing all at once, rather than complimenting any particular distributor.
Comparing "compatible devices" of Amazon Music and YouTube Music
▼ Click here for a list of terminals that can be used as a playback environment for each service.
| YouTube music | Amazon Music Free | Prime Music | Amazon Music Unlimited | |
| Compatible terminals | Smartphone PC Android TV Chromecast Google Home | Smartphone PC Alexa-equipped terminal Fire TV / Fire tablet | ||
Playback environment with our own products for both Amazon Music and YouTube Music
As shown in the table above, both Amazon and Google, the originator of YouTube Music, sell a large number of devices, Amazon can be used with existing products such as Alexa, YouTube Music can be used with Android TV, Chromecast, etc.
"Android TV" is installed on TVs of domestic manufacturers, and you can watch YouTube on TV
The number of built-in "Android TV" has increased across TVs made by domestic manufacturers .
This means that the TV will be equipped with the Android OS and the functions of the smartphone can be realized on the TV, making it very easy to watch YouTube and Netflix on the TV.
And since this Android TV is implemented on domestic TVs, you can watch MV on YouTube Music on your home TV, so compared to Apple Music, "living room with TV" has an opportunity to use YouTube Music. It is expected to increase.
Compare the "sound quality" of Amazon Music and YouTube Music
Next, let's compare the quality of service, "sound quality."
| Sound quality setting name | YouTube music | Prime Music | Amazon Music Unlimited |
| Best | 256kbps | 256kbps | |
| High | - | - | |
| During ~ | 128kbps | 190kbps | |
| Low | - | 90kbps | |
Both services have a maximum of 256 kbps, which is the same level as the "highest sound quality", but other music subscription services have the highest sound quality of 320 kbps, so traffic is prioritized here. There may be.

In addition, inserting a Fire TV into the TV and already using Alexa are likely to help you choose Amazon Music.
