In June 2015 iTunes launched its subscription music streaming service "Apple Music". Apple Music is available in the same territories as the iTunes Store and is currently the most successful subscription streaming service in the US, ahead of Spotify. Aside from its vast catalog, the service offers curated playlists and user-specific listening recommendations to its subscribers. Apple Music allows unlimited on-demand streaming and subscriptions are available from 9.99 USD/EURO/GBP per month in the US, EU, and the UK. Apple does not operate an advertisement-funded streaming service, like for example Deezer or Spotify, which allows users to access music for free.

US-based but India-focussed ad-funded and subscription streaming
service has acquired a total of 104 million active users. The service is
particularly popular among users in India and Indian expats across the
globe.
JioSaavn features a catalog of more than 45 million tracks and is
available in 15 different languages. JioSaavn’s core features include
various hand-curated radio stations, phonetic search, dynamic bitrate
streaming and an extensive blog dedicated to artists and new
releases.

The owner of the JioSaavn service is Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). RIL
is the second largest company in India and owns businesses in
energy, petrochemicals, textiles, retail, and telecommunications. The
telco part of the company is called Jio. Jio has made it its mission to
make the internet available to as many people as possible, which
resulted in the lowest-priced data plans in the world. In 2018 RIL
announced a strategic transaction between Jio and Saavn to form a
large platform for music, media, and artists. The 270 million
subscribers of Jio are able to start a JioSaavn subscription with an
extended free trial of 3 months. This gives JioSaavn the possibility to
grow into the largest music service in India.

Napster, formerly known as Rhapsody, is one of the most
long-standing streaming services in the world. Rhapsody launched in
2001 as Listen.com. It was the first streaming subscription service

and is one of the few subscription streaming platforms that is turning
a profit. Napster only offers paid subscription tiers and no freemium
ad-supported tier.
Besides operating its own ‘Napster’ music service, the company also
operates various B2C as well as B2B white labelled versions of its
platform on behalf of third parties (called “Powered by Napster”).

Hofer Life music.
