Klára Jelínková Popular streaming service Spotify still beats Apple Music in terms of paying users. According to the official report, in the second quarter of this year, Spotify reached a total of 180 million subscribers, of which 83 million pay for a Premium account. Competing Apple Music boasts 40 million subscribers, more than twice as many.
The numbers surprised even the analysts themselves, who predicted an increase to 82 million, which Spotify successfully surpassed by a million. For less than €6 per month, you get a Premium account that is unlimited and offers many other special features. However, the company says that subscriber growth is more important to them than profit as such.
However, Apple Music is also on the right track and has one huge advantage over Spotify. It has a huge fan base, especially in the US market. The latest news is that Apple Music is even bigger than Spotify in the US. Both companies have more than 20 million subscribers in the United States, but Apple is a hair's breadth ahead of its biggest competitor.
