A few months ago we told you Pandora was getting into the streaming game to compete with Spotify and Apple Music and today is when the race starts with Pandora Premium.
The only problem so far? The on-demand music service was on an invite-only basis. Now, the company announces it’s available on Android and iOS to all users for $10 dollars a month.
If you’re a Pandora Plus subscriber, you will get a free six-month trial to start out with.
Pandora’s catalog is just as big as the competing platforms and considering it has data on their subscribers, the playlists that it cooks up are better served for your own tastes. All those years of thumbs down and thumbs up are being put to good use. Just don’t expect exclusives or a desktop app — for now. Also, no music discovery or “New Music Friday” playlists as of yet.
You can always try it out if you already have Pandora and see how it goes, though.
