Quick answer
The Apple Music free trial runs 30 days, then bills $10.99/month for the Individual plan. A credit card is required to start. Cancelling is easy - about 2 minutes. Our take: The standard trial is one free month - solid, but not the headline.

Our take
The standard trial is one free month - solid, but not the headline. If you've bought (or are about to buy) AirPods, Beats, or a HomePod, activating the device unlocks three months free, and up to six with a qualifying AirPods or Beats purchase - no code, it just applies at pairing. Deepest if you already live in Apple's world; the Android app works, but you may drift before the bill lands, so set the reminder.

“Spotify keeps the exit simple. You cancel from your account page in a few clicks. It's framed as a downgrade to the free tier and sits at the bottom of the plan list, but there's no phone gate and no retention wall. If you signed up through Apple or Google, cancel there instead.”
