Amazon Music Unlimited is getting another price hike, and this one affects people who pay for the music service and Amazon’s Prime subscription.

The cost of Amazon Music Unlimited’s individual plan for Prime members will go up from $8.99 to $9.99 per month, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. The price of the family plan for Prime members is going up, too, increasing from $15.99 to $16.99 per month.

The costs of the annual plans for individuals and families that are Prime subscribers are increasing as well, each by $10, THR says. That means the annual individual plan will now cost $99 per year, while the family plan will cost $169 per year.

The price increases are supposed to kick in immediately for new customers and on September 19th for current subscribers, THR reports. I’m still seeing the old $8.99 price on this Amazon Music Unlimited page, but I suspect that will roll over sometime soon. Amazon didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

The company increased the cost of Amazon Music Unlimited for people who don’t subscribe to Prime earlier this year. Many music services have gotten higher prices over the past several months, including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Premium, and Tidal.

Amazon last raised the annual price of Amazon Prime in February 2022.
