Apple Music, released in 2015, was, according to The Guardian, created to compete with Spotify and other market leaders.

Another option is YouTube Music, Google’s streaming service. Like Spotify, as mentioned in the Verge, YouTube Music offers a free version with ads and a $10 per month premium subscription.
