Pandora is one of the first music streaming services I ever remember using. The internet radio station generation of Pandora was once a fantastic novelty, and even though most music streaming services now offer internet or AI-generated radio stations, Pandora is still recognized as being one of the best.

Listeners can use Pandora for free if they don’t mind ads, but the streamer also has several paid subscription options. What are the differences between these plans, and how do you get a subscription of your own? We’ll explain all you need to know about signing up for Pandora here.

What is Pandora Premium

Pandora Premium is the top subscription tier available from the music streaming service. It offers ad-free, personalized music selections, the ability to listen to songs on demand, podcasts, and more, and costs $11 per month.

Pandora also has a paid plan between its Premium tier and its free offering. It’s called Pandora Plus, and it features many of the same features as Pandora Unlimited, with a few exceptions: Plus users cannot make or share playlists with Pandora, and will have to unlock on-demand listening to specific tracks by viewing an ad.

It learns what you like to listen to over time, and builds radio stations that will be better and better attuned to your tastes. Its library has more than 50 million songs, with new releases, classic hits, and much more.

In addition, Pandora Premium subscribers can enjoy:

  • The ability to make and share playlists.

How to modify existing Pandora subscriptions

If you have a Pandora Free or Plus account, and you’re ready to make the upgrade to the full Pandora Premium experience, modifying your account will be the work of a few simple clicks.

To modify your Pandora subscription:

  • Log into the Pandora website.
  • Select your profile icon.
  • Choose Settings.
  • Open the Subscription tab
  • Click Switch Plans.

Is Pandora Premium available while traveling?
