Apple splits podcasts into a dedicated Podcasts app. Spotify is the only service that offers podcasts within the app. Spotify also lets you play music from your device in the Spotify app, but it only works for local files (so they aren't stored in the cloud). Note that iTunes Match is also available even without an Apple Music subscription for $25 a year. This feature 'matches' songs in your library with those in the iTunes catalog, or uploads them if the song isn't available, so you can listen to your music wherever you're signed in with your Apple ID. If you turn on iCloud Music Library within Apple Music, you can access your personal library of tunes across all your devices (from the PC to the phone). Both offer early access to certain albums from time to time and Apple Music sometimes offers exclusives for certain music videos.

Spotify says it has a catalog of over 70 million songs while Apple Music is over 75 million. See all photos Apple Music has more tracks, Spotify has podcasts
