Not only do these cut back on piracy, but also let you listen to your favorite songs, without much effort or cost. Here’s presenting some members of this family with their pros and cons, to make it easier for you to decide which music streaming app is best for you:
Gaana.com
One of the most famous music streaming App in the country, this one offers a 14-day trial period of the Gaana+ service which promises an advertisement-free HD audio experience.
Other than that, the App has an easy on the eye interface and its monthly subscription priced at a lowly Rs. 99. The site can also be made free by discontinuing various services, such as the offline saving.
One thing that the site offers better than its contemporaries is the ability to list the song(s) that the user’s friends are listening to, something which adds to the user experience.
Pros:
- Nice Interface
- Easy Access
Cons:
- Inconsistent Music Library
- Gaana+ Not Really Required
Wynk Music
The app, provided by Airtel, is one of the top players in the country and also ranks amongst the most used here. It offers unlimited music streaming services for Airtel users free of cost, but if you’re not an Airtel user, you’ll have to pay for it or otherwise have access to a limited number of songs per month.
Wynk’s plus point lies in the fact that its homepage is much more user-friendly and throws up better songs options intuitively in line with users individual taste if you ever are in a need for some suggestions.
Pros:
- Easy to Follow Interface
- Efficient Library (Specially Bollywood)
Cons:
- Non-Airtel Users Have Near Zero Free Access
- Incomplete Hollywood Library

- Does Not Have Podcast
Jio Music
Not that it needs an introduction, as most people in the country are already using it unabashedly. Many services that it offers include free unlimited downloading of songs and support for over 20 regional languages.
Going by the rate Jio is gaining ground, it comes as no surprise that the Jio Music app is indeed the front-runner in this race.
