Both offer over 100 million songs, offline downloads, and personalized recommendations. The differences lie in price, audio quality, range of features, platform support, and extras beyond simply listening to music. This comparison shows which service is right for whom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice between Apple Music and Spotify was long a question of ecosystem: Apple device users chose Apple Music, everyone else Spotify. By 2026, the situation is more nuanced. Apple Music introduced new discovery features with iOS 26.4 and has offered lossless audio at no extra cost for years. Spotify finally added lossless audio in September 2025, but only up to 24-bit\/44.1 kHz \u2013 while Apple Music goes up to 24-bit\/192 kHz. At the same time, Spotify remains the first choice for many users with its free tier, vast podcast library, and superior music discovery algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price comparison (Germany, as of March 2026):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Plan<\/th><th>Apple Music<\/th><th>Spotify Premium<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Individual<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20ac10.99\/month<\/td><td>\u20ac12.99\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Family<\/strong> (up to 6 people)<\/td><td>\u20ac16.99\/month<\/td><td>\u20ac21.99\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Student<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20ac5.99\/month<\/td><td>\u20ac6.99\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Duo<\/strong> (2 people)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>\u20ac17.99\/month<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Free level<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes (with advertising)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Music is cheaper than Spotify Premium in every subscription model. The difference is \u20ac2 for the individual subscription and \u20ac5 for the family subscription \u2013 that adds up to \u20ac24 and \u20ac60 per year, respectively. Spotify, however, is the only one of the two services to offer a free, ad-supported tier and a duo subscription for two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audioqualitat\">Audio quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Music has a clear advantage here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Apple Music<\/th><th>Spotify Premium<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Standard quality<\/strong><\/td><td>AAC 256 kbit\/s<\/td><td>OGG Vorbis 160 kbit\/s (Web: AAC 128\/256 kbit\/s)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lossless Audio<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (ALAC, 16 bit\/44.1 kHz to 24 bit\/48 kHz)<\/td><td>Yes (FLAC, up to 24 bit\/44.1 kHz)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Hi-Res Lossless<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (up to 24-bit\/192 kHz)<\/td><td>No (max. 24 bit\/44.1 kHz)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>3D Audio \/ Dolby Atmos<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (no extra charge)<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Highest streaming quality<\/strong><\/td><td>24-bit\/192 kHz<\/td><td>24-bit\/44.1 kHz (FLAC)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2021, Apple Music has offered lossless and high-resolution lossless audio at no extra cost. It also includes 3D audio with Dolby Atmos for spatial sound \u2013 especially impressive with AirPods Pro or AirPods Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify finally delivered its long-awaited lossless feature in September 2025 \u2013 four years after its initial announcement. Spotify Premium users can now stream FLAC in up to 24-bit\/44.1 kHz at no extra cost. While this brings Spotify to lossless audio quality, it doesn&#039;t yet offer Hi-Res Lossless above 44.1 kHz. Apple Music goes significantly further with up to 24-bit\/192 kHz and also offers Dolby Atmos \u2013 both features that Spotify lacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Audio verdict:<\/strong> Apple Music continues to lead the pack in audio quality. Hi-Res Lossless up to 24-bit\/192 kHz and Dolby Atmos at no extra cost make for a compelling package \u2013 especially with the right headphones. Spotify has caught up with lossless FLAC, but doesn&#039;t reach the same maximum resolution and doesn&#039;t offer 3D audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-musikbibliothek-und-inhalte\">Music Library and Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Feature<\/th><th>Apple Music<\/th><th>Spotify<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Songs<\/strong><\/td><td>Over 100 million<\/td><td>Over 100 million<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Podcasts<\/strong><\/td><td>Via Apple Podcasts (separate app)<\/td><td>Integrated (over 6 million)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Audiobooks<\/strong><\/td><td>Via Apple Books (separate app)<\/td><td>15 hours\/month (Premium Individual)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Music videos<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes (clips and full videos in selected markets)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Live radio<\/strong><\/td><td>Apple Music Radio (6 stations)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Classical music<\/strong><\/td><td>Apple Music Classical (separate app, no extra charge)<\/td><td>Integrated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lyrics in real time<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Song lyrics translation<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (automatically into multiple languages)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Apple Music Sing<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (customizable vocals, iPhone as microphone)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AutoMix<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (DJ-style transitions with beat matching, subscription only)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Crossfade<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (manually adjustable, even without a subscription)<\/td><td>Yes (manually adjustable crossfade)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Music Haptics<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (haptic feedback when listening on iPhone)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ambient Music<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (Mood playlists: Sleep, Chill, Productivity, Wellbeing)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Pin to library<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (pin albums, artists, playlists to the top)<\/td><td>Yes (playlists, albums, artists, podcasts)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Collaborative Playlists<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (add songs, remove songs, emoji reactions)<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SharePlay \/ CarPlay DJ<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (share DJ function in the car)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Spotify DJ<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (AI DJ with voice commentary \u2013 not available in Germany)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Spotify Jam<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (real-time listening sessions with friends)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Daylist<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (mood-based, constantly changing playlist)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blend<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (shared playlists based on shared taste)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Spotify Connect<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (seamless playback switching between devices)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Equalizer<\/strong><\/td><td>About device EQ<\/td><td>Yes (integrated EQ in the app)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sleep Timer<\/strong><\/td><td>About device timers<\/td><td>Yes (integrated sleep timer)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Import local files<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (via iTunes\/Music app)<\/td><td>Yes (import your own MP3s into Spotify)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Taste Profile<\/strong><\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>Yes (Beta \u2013 only available in New Zealand)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The music library alone is equal: both offer over 100 million songs. The differences lie in the extras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify is the clear number one for podcasts. Over 6 million podcasts are integrated directly into the app, including numerous exclusive titles. Apple podcasts are housed in a separate app (Apple Podcasts) \u2013 functionally sound, but not integrated into the music experience. Spotify also offers some unique features: Spotify DJ is an AI-powered DJ with voice commentary that selects and explains personalized music \u2013 however, this feature is not yet available in Germany. Daylist is a mood-based playlist that automatically adapts to your current mood throughout the day. Blend allows you to create shared playlists with friends based on your tastes. With Spotify Jam, multiple people can listen to music together in real time and control playback. Spotify Connect allows you to seamlessly switch playback between different devices. And with the new Taste Profile (beta, currently only available in New Zealand), users can actively manage their taste and influence recommendations. Spotify also offers a built-in equalizer, a sleep timer, and the ability to manually adjust the transitions between songs with Crossfade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Apple Music offers live radio with six curated stations (Apple Music 1, Hits, Country, M\u00fasica Uno, Club, and Chill), a dedicated classical music app (Apple Music Classical), and Apple Music Sing\u2014a karaoke feature with customizable vocals and real-time lyrics, where the iPhone even acts as a microphone. New in iOS 26 is AutoMix, which seamlessly crossfades songs with DJ-style transitions, including beat matching and time stretching. AutoMix requires an Apple Music subscription, while Crossfade can be used without a subscription and is manually adjustable from 1 to 12 seconds.

And with SharePlay via CarPlay, the DJ function in the car can be shared with passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Content Summary:<\/strong> Both services offer strong, but different, extras. Spotify scores points with podcasts, Spotify DJ, Jam, Daylist, Blend, Connect, an integrated EQ, and a sleep timer.

id=\"h-apple-music-oder-spotify-was-lohnt-sich\">Apple Music or Spotify \u2013 which is worth it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For users within the Apple ecosystem, Apple Music will be the stronger choice in 2026. Its seamless integration with iPhone, Mac, AirPods, and HomePod, superior audio quality with lossless and Dolby Atmos, lower price, and improved data privacy make the overall package compelling. Furthermore, with Playlist Playground, Apple has significantly improved its biggest weakness \u2013 music discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify remains the better choice for those who use multiple platforms, want podcasts in their music app, and appreciate algorithmic music discovery. The free tier is an unbeatable entry point for anyone who wants to listen to music without paying. While Spotify has filled a significant gap with lossless audio since September 2025, it still doesn&#039;t reach the high-resolution quality of Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Ultimately, both services offer access to the same music library of over 100 million songs.

Spotify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886647643\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is cheaper \u2013 Apple Music or Spotify?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Apple Music is cheaper in every subscription model. The individual subscription costs \u20ac10.99 instead of \u20ac12.99 for Spotify Premium, and the family subscription costs \u20ac16.99 instead of \u20ac21.99. Only Spotify offers a free, ad-supported tier and a duo subscription for two people.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886731565\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which service has the better audio quality?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Apple Music offers Hi-Res Lossless up to 24-bit\/192 kHz and Dolby Atmos at no extra cost. Spotify added lossless FLAC in September 2025, but only up to 24-bit\/44.1 kHz \u2013 and without 3D audio. For audiophiles, Apple Music remains the better choice.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886757291\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use Spotify for free?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Spotify is the only one of the two services to offer a free, ad-supported tier. This allows you to stream all songs, but with ad interruptions, no offline downloads, and limited controls on your smartphone.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886777763\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Spotify DJ available in Germany?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. The AI-powered Spotify DJ with voice commentary is not yet available in Germany. In March 2026, the feature was expanded to other European markets such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium \u2013 but Germany is still not included.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886793173\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Apple One worth it for Apple Music users?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Those who already use Apple TV or iCloud+ save significantly with Apple One. The Individual bundle costs \u20ac19.95 \u2013 only \u20ac9 more than Apple Music alone \u2013 and additionally includes Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and 50 GB of iCloud+. The Premium bundle for \u20ac34.95 also offers Apple Fitness+ and 2 TB of iCloud+.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886823452\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I transfer my playlists from Spotify to Apple Music?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Apple offers a built-in transfer tool that allows you to transfer playlists and music collections directly from Spotify to Apple Music. The transfer takes only a few minutes via the Apple Music app.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774886838206\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which service is better for podcasts?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Spotify is the clear number one for podcasts. Over 6 million podcasts are integrated directly into the music app, including numerous exclusive titles. Apple Podcasts run through the separate Apple Podcasts app \u2013 functionally good, but not integrated into the music experience.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\" id=\"h-kennt-ihr-schon-unsere-amazon-storefront-dort-findet-ihr-eine-handverlesene-auswahl-von-diversen-produkten-f-r-euer-iphone-und-co-viel-spa-beim-st-bern\"><em>Have you already checked out our Amazon Storefront?
