![]() ![]() The main difference here is that Apple’s higher quality music is available within one subscription, whereas with Tidal you have to pay extra to get higher quality audio with its Hi-Fi Plus tier. Tidal can offer music in quality up to 24-bit/192kHz (or as it describes it, 9216 kbps), and Apple Music matches that with its Hi-Res Lossless library. Featuresīoth Tidal and Apple Music claim to offer over 100 million tracks in their library, and both are quite similar in terms of the bit-rates they offer on their platforms. If there’s a specific point of difference to note, it’s that Apple offers voice integration with specific playlists that are designed to work with Siri. Otherwise they’re similar enough in the content they offer with curated content, personalised playlists, new music, top 100 charts, and so on. Like Apple Music, they’re located at the bottom of the page. Tidal separates its content into five tabs: Home, Videos, Search, My Activity and My Collection. Depending on how you feel about white or black backgrounds, you may find it easier to read text on Tidal, but both work effectively. Tidal, at least in a visual sense, is the opposite with its black background. Main sections in the app include ‘Listen Now’ for recently played music and recommendations, ‘Browse’, ‘Library’, ‘Search’ and a separate ‘Radio’ button to access the various radio stations the service offers. In terms of appearance, Apple Music uses a clean, white user interface that feels very much within the Apple aesthetic. New users get the chance of a one-month free trial, there’s a Family Plan that costs $14.99 / £14.99 / €14.99 a month, as well as a Student Plan which offers 50% off Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi Plus subscriptions. Hi-Fi Plus takes that a step further with access to High-Res audio, MQA and spatial audio for the price of £19.99 / £19.99 / €19.99 a month. ![]() Hi-Fi costs $9.99 / £9.99 / €9.99 a month and offers the entire library up to CD quality and ad-free. Tidal doesn’t offer as many plans and takes a different approach by splitting its pricing into two main tiers: Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi Plus. For those looking to save some cash there is the Voice plan for $4.99 / £4.99 / €4.99 a month that plays music through the Siri voice assistant only. There are plenty of options in getting a subscription to Apple Music. There’s no free version of Apple Music but there is a one-month free trial for new users, and with certain Apple devices it’s also possible to get six-month free subscription. The service also offers a $16.99 / £16.99 / €16.99 a month Family plan for up to six people and an all-in-one subscription to multiple Apple services starting at $16.95 / £16.95 / €16.95 a month with Apple One. Apple Music costs $10.99 / £10.99 / €10.99 a month for an individual membership, or $5.99 / £5.99 / €5.99 a month for students.
