Both companies are constantly innovating so they can stay on top of the game. However, it seems as if Apple has bridged the competitive gap between the two businesses.

Apple decided to team up with Android and allow their users to access Apple Music. Here are some things you should know about this new development.

You can only sign up for an individual plan.
There is no family plan yet. As of now, you can only receive an individual monthly subscription, which is priced at $9.99 per month. You do receive a free month trial; however, you are automatically charged once that free month has expired.

You receive all the benefits that iPhone users receive with Apple Music.
Curated playlists, musical recommendations, radio — it’s all there. Don’t feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick just because you’re using an Apple app on an Android. Beats One is also included within the Apple Music package, so you can constantly listen to radio hits tailored to your interests 24/7.

You need an Apple Account to have access to Apple Music.
You might have an Apple ID without even knowing it. If you have ever purchased anything from iTunes, whether it be a song, album, TV show, etc., you have an Apple ID. If you have never used iTunes, then you will need to create an Apple ID. This can be done through the Apple Music application.

No voice control.
Sadly, our good friend Siri isn’t programmed within Android phones. Thus, you have no means to utilize voice control to play a song. On the iPhone, you can simply tell Siri to “play The Beatles” and she will immediately pull up the Apple Music app for you.

Android’s version of Apple Music is still in its beta stage.
As a result, the program is still being developed, and likely has significant errors that need to be accounted for prior to launching the product. So, if you decide to download Apple Music early, be patient if you experience technical difficulties with the app.

From an online service that selects music for you, to a device-transferable app that gives you access to artists’ complete oeuvre, the choices can feel a little overwhelming.  Here, we’ll compare three of today’s most popular streaming services so you can move forward with building a customized listening experience.

1. Spotify.

Free with ads; $10 for subscription; free app.

Spotify offers multiple ways to find and organize music. You can listen to nearly any artist, search by song or album, and create your own playlists along the way. Spotify can create personalized playlists based on the songs and type of music you regularly listen to, as well as offer ready-made playlists according to mood and genre. The subscription service, Spotify Premium, also allows users to download music directly onto their phones for listening offline.

2. Apple Music.

$9.99 per month for an individual subscription; $14.99 for a family subscription for up to six people; 3-month free trial; free app.

Apple started the music streaming revolution with iTunes back in 2003. Apple Music now has a catalog of over 30 million songs to choose from, and you can also browse new music curated by an in-house team. Like Spotify, Apple Music also serves up personalized recommendations, and lets users create their own playlists. Distinctive Apple Music features include radios stations for music and interviews, and a Connect features that lets you learn more about your favorite artists.

3. Pandora.

Free with ads; existing users $3.99 per month; new users $4.99 per month; free app.

Pandora is all about discovering artists you haven’t heard before. Pandora’s library is the result of the Music Genome Project, a comprehensive internal algorithm that matches artists and songs according to common characteristics (e.g. style, rhythm, gender of artist). Users first choose a song or artist, and the software then designs a unique playlist that will include your choice, along with similar music Pandora believes you will enjoy. And if you’re not quite sure what you’re in the mood for, the service also offers hundreds of genre stations for easy streaming.

Ready to start listening? Rely on PSafe Total to ensure your experience isn’t ruined by slow streaming. The software’s Memory Booster app helps you optimize your data and suggests how to free up storage space. The goal of PSafe Total is to speed up your phone altogether, so your music streaming experience is smooth, and seamless.
