I use Apple Music, partly because I like the UI better (it feels less... pushy?) but mostly because it's included in whatever the all-you-can-eat subscription is called and I can share that with various "family members" so it works out very very cheap.
Early Spotify user here. I migrated to Apple Music at launch in 2015 because it arrived with a family plan, which, as a dad with young kids and a wife, it was the deal-maker because Spotify had no such plan. Before migrating, I emailed Spotify to ask if they would be planning to launch something similar, and got only radio silence in reply. Spotify gave zero effs about losing a long-term customer even though a 'yes we're working on it' would actually have kept me. So I jumped ship. No regrets.
If you have the Apple One service or whatever they call it, then it really makes sense to just stick with Apple ecosystem and apps.
I prefer Spotify because we can listen to many songs of different artists and musicians for free. Followers are also important to grow as an artists and make it to the global level. Famups, likeoid, sociallym are some sites you can look to buy Spotify followers
While Spotify has better playlists and social interaction, Lossless and High-Res Lossless are just awesome.
Spotify also works great with Apple devices. It works much better on my MacBook Air M1 than does Apple Music. Something sad and troubling about that...Spotify. Better interface, better discovery, and works great with non-Apple devices. It's okay to leave the Apple garden sometimes
Apple Music for me, but it badly needs a customisable EQ and / or a dynamic EQ for those who like to use EQ.
The factory presets are, at best, garbage. As is Sound Check.
