What To Get A Free Music Trial Easily With a Virtual Credit Card

Dueling banjos? More like dueling providers. With the wealth of options you have for getting your musical needs met, it can be hard to differentiate between competitors. One platform may let you download music so you can listen without an internet connection, while another may have an exclusive artist or podcast deal. The basic features are the same, but if you want to know exactly what you're getting, a free trial is the best way to do it. If you're interested in getting a free trial of a music service, DoNotPay can help.

How to Get a Free Trial on Music Platforms

Market research has identified the top five music platforms in the world, based on recent revenue data:

1. Spotify
2. Apple Music
3. Amazon Music
4. YouTube Music
5. Pandora

These five music services have over 80% of the market share between them.

Spotify

Spotify does have a free offering, but there are some limitations or annoyances that you don't see in Spotify Premium:

• Ads between songs
• Limits on the number of tracks you can skip
• Limits on the songs you can listen to
• No download capabilities

You can always try Spotify Premium for one month at no charge. There may be additional seasonal promotions or pricing based on your payment method.

Apple Music

Apple Music does not offer any free listening options. You can try the service free for three months, much longer than some competitors. You may even get the service for free if you buy an Apple audio device.

Amazon Music

Amazon has several different music offerings. You can get free music in two ways:

1. Amazon Music Free
2. Amazon Music Unlimited Free Trial

You do not need an Amazon Prime account for Amazon Music Free. You have access to a smaller library with advertisements and no personalized music stations. In the Amazon Music Unlimited trial, you have access to over 75 million songs for 30 days. The trial may be longer with the purchase or activation of a device. You can download music for offline listening.

YouTube Music

YouTube has both a free ad-supported option and a premium tier. As with other services, the free offering has some limitations:

• Advertisements between songs
• No offline listening
• No videos to accompany songs

There is a 30-day trial of the premium tier available for any subscription type.

Pandora

Pandora does have a free tier with access to music and podcasts. Users cannot make playlists and must listen to ads to skip songs or search for a particular song. There are also 30-day free trials of Pandora Plus and 60-day free trials of Pandora Premium available.

Switching to the Paid Service

Auto-Renewal

These services do automatically renew at the end of your free trial unless you cancel the service, but if you cancel before the end of your promotional period, you may lose access to your music.

Can I Still Use the Paid Service if I Cancel During the Promotional Period

• Spotify - No
• Apple Music - No
• Amazon Music - No
• YouTube Music - Yes
• Pandora - Yes

You can avoid being charged at the end of your free trial with DoNotPay's virtual credit card service. The service will generate credit card information to insert for your free trial without any real account information behind it, so you won't be surprised by a charge on your next statement.
