The Apple Music free trial gives new subscribers a month of music before the first charge. The plan then renews until you cancel, so the sensible approach is to know the price, set a reminder and decide in time. This page explains how the Apple Music free trial works in the UK, what it costs afterwards and the catches to check.
How the Apple Music free trial works
At the time we checked, Apple’s UK Apple Music page advertised “1 month free” for new subscribers on its Individual and Family plans, and one month free for students too. Apple says there is no commitment, you can cancel anytime, and the plan renews automatically until you cancel.
What does Apple Music cost after the free month?
- Individual: £11.99 a month.
- Family: £19.99 a month.
- Student: £5.99 a month, with verification that you are a university student.
Prices change, so check the plan and the amount on Apple’s page before you confirm.
Who can get the Apple Music free trial?
- It is for new subscribers only.
- The Student plan needs verification and is limited to verified university students.
- You need an Apple Account.
- Apple also advertises a separate “3 months free” offer for people who buy an eligible new device. That is a different promotion with its own terms, so check it if it applies to you.
The catches with the Apple Music free trial
- It renews automatically. After the free month you are charged each month until you cancel.
- Payment details. Expect to give them when you sign up, because the plan renews on its own.
- New subscribers only. If you have subscribed before, you may not get the trial.
- Prices and offers change. Always read the current terms on the sign-up page.
How to cancel the Apple Music free trial
- Open the settings on your Apple device, or the Apple Music or Apple TV app, and go to your account and subscriptions.
- Find Apple Music in the list of subscriptions.
- Choose the option to cancel and follow the steps. Apple says you can cancel anytime.
- Keep the confirmation and check your next statement.

Is the Apple Music free trial worth it?
It is worth it if you will use it and you set a reminder to decide before the first charge. It is not worth it if you already pay for another music service you are happy with. Work out what it costs over a year with our yearly subscription cost guide, then decide. If you already have a music subscription you like, compare the monthly prices and the features you actually use before you switch. A free month is only a saving if the service replaces something you would otherwise pay for, or gives you something you really want.
Apple Music free trial UK: quick questions
Will I be charged during the free month?

Can I use the free trial more than once?
Apple says it is for new subscribers only.
Where do I check Apple’s own terms?
Apple sets out the plans and prices on its own site, for example Apple Music UK. Its terms are the final word.
