ReutersThe streaming music service of Apple Inc. has outpaced its competitor Spotify Technology SA in terms of paying subscribers in the United States, said Tuesday a person familiar with the matter.
The Apple service had 28 million subscribers at the end of February, compared to the 26 million paid subscribers of Spotify, added the same person.
Both companies charge $ 9.99 per month for subscriptions, although Spotify still has more US listeners than Apple, thanks to a free service level funded by advertising with fewer features. Analysts also believe that Spotify has a stronger subscriber position than Apple outside the United States. Neither Apple nor Spotify disclose country-level auditor data and both companies declined to comment. Speech
