Apple Music cuts down subscription price, individual plan now starts at Rs 99/month

After JioSaavn and Gaana recently **reduced their subscription prices** by a whopping 70 percent, Apple Music has now followed suit as well. While Indian Express reported this first, we also confirmed it on the Apple Music website in India, the prices of the Individual subscription plan in India seems to have been slashed. After cutting the priced of the Apple iPhone XR, this is the second instance of Apple reducing prices on its products/services within days of each other. Apple is generally not known to officially cut prices of its products/services that often.

Per their revised prices, JioSaavn’s year-long subscription now costs only Rs 299, down from Rs 999 per year. Gaana too brought the costs of its premium subscription from Rs 1,198 to Rs 299. Competing with Apple Music’s individual plan is Saavn and Gaana’s monthly subscription, which has also been brought down to Rs 99. In comparison, Spotify’s annual subscription for the premium version now looks expensive; it costs Rs 1,189 for a year. Monthly subscription costs Rs 129 on Spotify and Rs 99 for YouTube Music. In fact, YouTube Music only has monthly subscription plans. Meanwhile, if this price cut has you confused all over again, here’s our comparison of all the music streaming services in India.
