Trying 30 days of Amazon Music Unlimited now. Advantages are you can upload some tracks to the cloud (to fill the gaps in their library, similar to Google Music), seamless integration with Echo/Alexa, and only $7.99/month or $79.99/year for Prime members.

I think it's even cheaper if you pay up front, like $68 for the year. I've been hesitant to pay for a streaming service, but I think I'll try out the Amazon too.

Yeah, it's $79/year for Prime members. Makes it $6 and change per month. I'm not sure it beats Spotify for features, but if you don't care about the Daily Mixes and Discover Weekly stuff, Amazon probably has you covered. Also, you can upload up to 250 songs to the cloud for free (can't match Google's 50,000, but still nice for uploading those essential songs that aren't in their library).
Plus, if you own an Echo/Alexa device, the integration with that is on point.
