There are probably many more platforms to add to this list but we’ve picked the most popular ones in Canada as of late.
It’s good to pick a music platform that suits your needs. For instance, if you’re a university/college student, save a few dollars by going for Student subscriptions that provide a premium experience for a fraction of the price. If you live with a partner or friend, Spotify Duo might be a great option because it’s a few dollars less than 2 individual accounts and much less than a family plan. You get the gist of it!
Keep track of your subscriptions!
Cancel subscriptions that you don’t use anymore! The worst thing is to under-utilize your subscription whilst continuing to make payments. It’s like you’re making donations to the streaming platform! Save more by keeping track of payments, cancelling those you don’t need and making adjustments to those you might not use as much but still want to keep.
