YouTube Music Vs Apple Music: Full comparison

Getting to know the differences between YouTube Music and Apple Music is quite interesting.

So if you are wanting to know the best music streaming application in 2021, then these two comparisons will let you decide wish is best for you and reasons why you should choose the best.

Youtube music abbreviated YTmusic formerly known to be GooglePlay music is a new music streaming service from Google that was announced in 2018. While Apple Music on the other hand was announced on June 8, 2015 and launched June 30, 2015.

In YouTube Music, you can listen to official songs, albums, playlist, remixes and live versions of songs. If you don’t mind the adverts (ads), it is a free service. While Apple Music focuses so heavily on recommending music to users than allowing them search for their type of music or play from their device. 

The only disadvantage I could find in the YT Music is that you can’t watch ad-free videos. Meaning the expectation of ads is imminent while watching video on the YT music app for ios and Android.

In YouTube Music, a comprehensive detailed information of what you are to expect while downloading or wanting to use YouTube music… For those Migrating from the GooglePlay Music, your expectations are as follows!

• It is based around three tabs; Home, Explore and Library. 
• The home is a mixture of everything. Explore allows you to easily find new music while the Library serves as the playlist as you can find imported music from Google Play music there and music already on your device.
• Apple Music has a clean white interface with five tabs along the bottom which are the library, playlist, radio, search and browse tab.
• Youtube music app has a video-based experience, like Youtube, as you can choose to watch the video of a music or play the music directly. 
• You can also like or dislike music as this will help Google tune the selection of music that you are recommended but Apple music lacks organization and curation within the music library and also lacks tags and filters where you can specify the characteristics of what you want to listen to. Also, in Apple music, there’s no star rating that allows user choose what they love.
• In YouTube Music, signing in into the app is not mandatory. You can access the music on your device and it will play in the background even when the screen is off but it doesn’t work that way on Apple Music.

Youtube music is available as a free ad-supported tier, but there is a catch for the mobile app because you can not use it to play music in the background. So, subscribing is going to provide the best experience. If you are a new user, you can get free months just by clicking around and you will be offered free trials for a stated period of time.

Apple music subscription options; 1 Month – $4.99 but new subscribers get a six month free trial period before it requires a monthly subscription.

Following above comparisons, obviously you can decide which option is best for you to ride on.
