However, LiveOne makes up for it by offering a free-listening tier, which Apple Music lacks. We like seeing Apple Music and other streaming music services adopt family plans, which is something that LiveOne still lacks. The $10.99 per month Single Membership and the $16.99 Family Membership (for up to six people using iCloud Family Sharing) grant ad-free music listening, ad-free video watching, offline listening, and access to Apple Music radio (Apple's three human-curated, 24/7 channels). After that, you must sign up for a subscription plan to continue using the service.

Apple Music offers a one-month trial, which is a decent amount of time to try before you subscribe (you'll still need to supply credit or debit card info, though).
