There's also a 50 percent discount for students who sign up to Tidal, as well as discounts for people serving in the military and first responders in the US. And there's a family version of HiFi Plus, which offers the same extras for 5 more accounts for $29.99 / £29.99 / AU$35.99. Family HiFi is $14.99 / £14.99 / AU$17.99 a month, which includes up to 5 additional family members with the same 1411 Kbps of sound quality as regular HiFi. Like Spotify, there are also family-friendly options here, too. This is $19.99 / £19.99 / AU$23.99 for lossless High Fidelity sound quality (also at 1411 Kbps), as well as Master Quality audio (up to 9216 Kbps), and immersive audio, that's 360 Reality Audio and Dolby Atmos Music. This tier is called Tidal HiFi, and it costs $9.99 / £9.99 / AU$11.99, and offers streams at a bitrate of 1411 Kbps. It used to offer a cheaper premium tier with quality aligned with Spotify's, but now the lowest tier includes Hi-Res Audio.

There are a number of Tidal price points and they all come with a month-long Tidal free trial. Ideal for couples, it's the same as the Family account, but only for two of you. There's now also a Premium Duo account option, too. This tier costs $15.99 / £16.99 / AU$17.99, and requires all members to live under the same roof. If there are a few people in your household that want to use Spotify, you can save money by signing up to a Spotify Premium for Family account, which allows up to six people to connect to Spotify at one time (if you try to do this with a regular account, you’ll get bumped off the service as soon as another user plays a song). Students get Headspace access as part of their Premium package.

The cheapest paid Spotify plan is Spotify Premium, which costs $9.99 / £9.99 / AU$11.99 per month, and gives you unlimited access to its 80 million-plus track library on your laptop, phone, and tablet.
