Hey folks!<\/strong> I’m all about saving you some money, so this week’s full issue of Advisorator is 100% free<\/strong>, including the feature column up top and full deal list at the bottom. This is all made possible by Advisorator’s paid subscribers, so think about joining<\/a> if you value this content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While practically every streaming music service has raised prices over the past year, you still don’t have to pay full price for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like in the streaming TV world<\/a>, you can save on services like Spotify and Apple Music by looking in the right places. Extended trials, bundle deals, special discounts, and annual billing options can all help defray the cost of streaming music, and you can always consider cheaper tiers if your music needs are more minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of last week’s Spotify price hikes<\/a>, now’s a fine time to reassess your options. To make that easier, I’ve pulled every potential savings strategy into one big list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go with the lone holdout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

First, some credit where due: The only streaming music service that hasn’t raised prices yet is Pandora, whose unlimited, on-demand streaming plan still costs $10 per month for individuals and $15 for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will it last? I have no idea. But the slightly lower price\u2014and its still-excellent radio features<\/a>\u2014make it worth a fresh look for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bundle with other services<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
