Google is making its Play Music service a little more family friendly.
Alongside new Nexus and Chromecast devices, the Web giant today announced a new Play Music family plan, which is priced on par with Apple Music's family membership. Soon, up to six family members will be able to share a Play Music All Access family subscription for just $15 per month and get tailored recommendations for each account. A single Play Music All Access subscription will set you back $10 a month.
That's a better deal than Spotify's family plan, which costs $14.99 a month for just two members, $19.99 for three, $24.99 for four, and $29.99 for five. Apple Music, meanwhile, also charges $15 for a family membership with support for up to six people.
The new family plan will be available later this year, according to Android Police, but there's no official launch date yet.
It comes after Google this summer added a free, ad-supported tier to Play Music. The free version lets you tap into Google's library of curated radio stations without paying for a $10 monthly subscription — as long as you don't mind listening to the occasional ad.
Meanwhile on the sharing front, Google also today updated its Photos service with a handy feature for families and groups of friends. You can now let other people contribute their own images to your album, so you can keep everyone's snaps in the same place. Besides that, the Photos update also brings Chromecast support and the ability to label people in your photos by name.
