We took the Spotify Premium free trial for a spin to see if it really delivers on playlists, discovery, and podcasts. With 100+ million tracks, 5M+ podcasts, and flagship playlists like RapCaviar and Today’s Top Hits, it’s an easy trial to recommend for music-first listeners.
We took the Tidal HiFi free trial for a spin to hear its lossless FLAC quality and explore its artist-first approach. Expect a catalog that has featured historic exclusives from Jay‑Z and Beyoncé, hi‑res masters like Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” and discovery via Tidal Rising.
We took a look at the YouTube Premium free trial and found it delivers ad‑free YouTube plus YouTube Music with offline viewing and background play. Expect everything from official albums (like Doja Cat’s “Scarlet”) to fan uploads, live performances, music videos, and YouTube Originals.
We took the Luminary free trial for a spin to sample its exclusive podcasts, including headline projects like The Midnight Miracle, Under the Skin with Russell Brand, and Spooked. If you want big-name shows outside Spotify or Apple, this trial is an easy way to gauge the catalog.
We took a fresh look at the Wondery+ free trial, a premium podcast network subscription from Amazon with early, ad-free access to hits like Dr. Death, Business Wars, Even the Rich, and American History Tellers.
We took a fresh look at the Apple Music free trial and found plenty to explore: 100+ million songs, curated playlists, Spatial Audio albums like The Weeknd’s Dawn FM in Dolby Atmos, Apple Music 1 with Zane Lowe, and the occasional early release from top artists. It’s a low-friction way to see if the sound and curation click with you.
