Can I cancel this service?

Most music streaming subscriptions can be cancelled on a monthly basis, so you’re effectively always out of contract, and it’s generally easy to cancel them online.

Can I reduce this service?

With such a range of streaming services available (Spotify Premium is the most popular but there are competing offers from Amazon Music, Apple, Deezr, Tidal and more) many households have more than one provider due to free trials. So the first check is whether you can get from multiple music providers to just one.

How to save money

Next, it’s time to work out whether you have the right service tier for your chosen provider, and whether you pay for it in the cheapest way. Here’s a comparison of the most popular streaming services and their monthly prices.
