According to its most recent report, Pandora currently has 52.3 million users, down from 58.9 million the prior year.Īnd when it comes to paid subscribers, Pandora lags far behind its competitors, per Insider Intelligence estimates from last year. A representative from Pandora declined to comment on the new report, but said that Pandora is the leading ad-supported audio streaming service in the U.S. Notably, this study includes users on both paid and ad-supported plans for these services - so, while Apple Music has an estimated 38.2 million subscribers, compared to Amazon Music’s 52.6 million or Pandora’s 49.1 million, none of Apple’s subscribers are on a free, ad-supported plan (though they could, of course, be on a free trial).Īmazon Music is estimated to grow 5.3% year over year, the forecast claims, while Pandora has continued to lose users since 2017 - the SiriusXM-owned streamer’s user base is expected to decline by 6.7% in 2022.

According to estimates from Insider Intelligence (previously eMarketer), Amazon Music will surpass Pandora this year to become the music streamer with the second most number of users in the U.S.
