Apple Music: how to switch from Individual to Family plan, and vice versa? Apple Music is Apple’s streaming music service, a direct competitor to Spotify. It offers different plans, from the Voice one for 4.99 euros to the Family plan for 16.99 euros per month. In between are the Student season tickets at 5.99 euros, or the Individual one at 9.99 euros. Although the Family one is the most expensive, in some cases it could be the most convenient, since it allows up to 6 people to listen to Music at the same time.
