The "integration" between the two is more "disintegration" than anything. Spotify is poised to offer CD-quality streaming via its announced Spotify Hi-Fi tier for an as-yet-unspecified price, though this much. And Tidal Hi-Fi Family lets six people take advantage of it for 14.99 / 14.99 / AU17.99 per month. If Apple Music had separated itself as its own app apart from iTunes, I think they would've been much better off. For 9.99 / 9.99 / AU11.99 per month, Tidal Hi-Fi gets you audio at up to 1411kbps (i.e. I'm pretty tech savvy, and I actually searched for tutorials online on how it's supposed to work, to no avail. No other service (that I'm aware of) comes close in this regard (although Qobuz is pretty decent, and always improving). You can search by year, artists name, role - it's all really amazing, and essential for a serious music fan IMO. Tidal credits are very detailed (not just the "songwriter" credit you see on Spotify) I can click on the name of somebody involved on a recording (even if it's not the artist, and just a musician on the album) and can see all of the other music they've been credited on. There is no free version of Apple Music, but there is a minimum level - Voice Plan (4.99/month) that can help you save money. Pricing for both of these services starts at the same for individuals, coming at 10 per month for the base plan. While TIDALs primary focus is on HiFi music, Apples is here to get in the ears of the masses. Credits - this is huge for me, and I wish it was talked about more. If you upgrade to Tidal HiFi at a price of 9.99/month or HiFi Plus at a price of 19.99/month, you can listen to music with higher music quality and download songs from Tidal for offline playback. TIDALs HiFi Audio Quality tops out at 1,411 kbps, and Apple Music cant even come close, as it tops out at just 256 kbps. They're artist radio seems to stick with about the same batch of 10 songs, and has yet to change over the course of listening for two months.
