Massive catalog. Great desktop application (and they have a web app too, but I don't use it).

Pandora is still free on desktop with ads as well.

Tidal and Apple (as far as I know) have no free option at all.

The downside is when you don't have service

You can still have tons of music "saved" on your device for when you don't.

Seriously. It doesn't include as many as spotify, apple or google play, but it has pretty much everything I want.

Amazon has (by far) the smallest catalog of the available streaming services.

True, if you love exploring all sorts of new and new old music, prime may not be the best
