Apple Music is not free, but it offers a 3-month free trial for all new users. During the free trial period, you can listen to more than 50 million songs, get incredible music recommendations, and enjoy a 24-7 Beats 1 radio station, etc. If you try the service but don't like it for some reason, you'll need to cancel your Apple Music subscription before the free trial ends. Otherwise, you will be charged $9.99/month ($4.99/month for a student subscription or $14.99/month for a family subscription) automatically by Apple.

Tips: There're different ways to unsubscribe Apple Music, you can do it on your iPhone, iPad, PC, or Mac. Once you cancel the service on one of your devices, the rest of your devices will be deactivated automatically.
