There’s no such thing as one “best” music streaming service. Most of these apps are designed around the same principles and provide access to a huge music catalog. Pretty much none of them are paying artists properly, yet nearly all of them are steadily raising prices. If you’ve used one to build up a library over the years, that one is most likely to be in tune with your musical tastes.That said, if you’ve grown tired of whatever service you use today, we’ve spent months getting to know all of the major music streamers, feeding them similar data and taking note of how they adapt to our preferences over time.

Below, we’ve highlighted the best music streaming services on the whole and broken down where they excel and fall short.
