Apple Music has different rates in different countries of the world. Since every nine out of ten internet-faring individuals stream their favorite music on-demand, streaming trends have accelerated in 2020 drastically. This year, streaming trends has contributed about 20 billion to the industry. The infographic will reveal the Apple Music cost in various countries of the world and how much does it account for from the average wage of people in that particular country. Apple Music is undoubtedly one of the best music streaming apps as it contains everything one is looking for. Let’s figure out which countries get better deals for play music of their choice and which doesn’t.
Bermuda and Cayman Islands from the continent get the best ever deals from Apple Music, i.e., $6/month with an average monthly salary of $8 and $6, respectively. The USA gets Apple Music at a pretty affordable price of $10/month. This might not be very affordable for all Americans, but comparing to the monthly wage of $4k, it seems to be a fair deal. Central American countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador are unlucky with the Apple Music rates as they have to pay $6, which doesn’t seem to be much, but it actually is with a monthly paycheck that barely hits $200-300.
The cost for Apple Music in European countries ranges between $5-12. Countries with higher monthly salaries have to pay lesser money for the service; for example, Sweden, the home of Spotify, pays around $11 per month for it, which is as low as 0.3% of the $3,763 average wage. Some parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans spend massively on Apple Music, which is 5% of their average paycheck. Moldova has to pay 5% of their average $191.86 income for streaming. On the other hand, Russia gets a super affordable deal in just $2.36 out of their average $709.95 wage.
Brazil, one of the largest countries with a population of 211 million people, is offered the best value for Apple Music in the entire continent. Brazilians have to spend only $3.15 or 0.45% of their $699.76 average monthly income. Albeit, Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela also pay less than 0.5% of their paycheck. Bolivia and Suriname have to pay the most for Apple Music on the entire continent; hence, people prefer local streaming services rather than spending on expensive online music.
Most of the countries in this region don’t have Apple Music services available. However, the countries which have the access gets pretty affordable deals due to the higher average income. Qatar pays the least for the service, i.e., 0$4.94 or 0.12% of an average $3.994.42 wage. Turkey, on the other hand, gets a good value in just $2.04, which is only 0.28% of a $721 income. Even after having a lower average income in Jordon of up to $309.23, people there get the subscription for 1.16% of their salary.
This region shows a similar outlook; most of the markets here still don’t have the Apple Music services but, the countries that have it have pretty good deals. Due to the higher monthly incomes, Singapore and Macau get to pay the least in the region. Whereas China also pays super-low charges for a monthly subscription to Apple Music. In comparison, Vietnam and Indonesia pay the highest in the region, i.e., $3.36 and $2.55 respectively, which is not comparatively that expensive. India has the lowest subscription fees for Apple Music globally, i.e., $1.32 per month, but the low average wage ($139.87) of the country puts it midway in the global league table for the best values.
The top five expensive deals for Apple Music are from Africa, and the countries include Uganda, Niger, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Madagascar. Botswana, Mauritius, and South Africa get great subscription deals and have to pay less than 1% of their average monthly paycheck. Nigeria, unfortunately, has to pay 11.76% of their $25 wage, which makes it the worst deal in the world. Nigeria is the world’s poorest country, and we believe that Apple Music won’t be a priority for people there.
Bot services are a tough competition to each other; the infographic reveals which service is cheaper in the majority of the countries. The countries highlighted in red have cheaper Apple Music than Spotify whereas, countries highlighted in blue have cheaper Spotify.
