Google Play Music Subscription Launched in India at Rs. 89 Per Month

We have a few music subscription services in India, including the Apple Music. The latest addition is Google Play Music, debuted on 06/04/17 here.

When we have many services of the same category, we may ask why the new one. Given that the latest one is from Google, we have a lot to hope for.

Google Launches Play Music Subscription in India

Google introduce the subscription based Play Music back in September. But it took some time to bring the same to India. Maybe, they were analyzing the scope of a streaming service in India (which is known for slow networks).

Quoting a report by a research firm Delloite, more than 273 million Indians will subscribe for streaming services by 2020. So, Google might think it’s better late than never.

As stated earlier, the streaming field India is quite competitive. We already have Saavn, Gaana, Wynk, Airtel Music, Hungama, Apple Music, and even Amazon is going to join the bandwagon soon.

So, how does Google grab a fair market share? Well, they have made the pricing cheaper. While Apple Music costs Rs. 120 per month and other major competitors Rs. 99, Google has kept the pricing only Rs. 89. And, you can grab a trial period of 30 days.
