This interests me greatly. I want to see the available catalog. It may well be worth the monthly price, depends on what they include. My daughter and I use Prime Music a lot.

Amazon just released their Music Unlimited plans. I'm currently listening to a free 30-day trial.
Prime Music has 2 million songs in its catalog and Music Unlimited has tens of millions of songs. Amazon hasn't revealed what they mean by "tens of millions" -- ie, 20 million?, 40 million?
Amazon is now directly competing with the likes of Spotify and Google Play Music and those plans have 30 to 50 million songs in their catalogs, so I'm fairly certain that Amazon has the same.
The Echo Plan is $3.99/mo but is limited to just one Echo device. Additionally, you can't switch back and forth between Echos. It will only play on the Echo you used to sign up on.
If you wish to have the Echo Plan on more than one Echo, you'll need to upgrade to the Individual Plan for $7.99/mo or $79/yr. Then you can play music on up to 10 different devices and download for offline listening on devices capable of doing so.
Remember, with the Echo, Prime, and Individual Plans, you can only stream on one device at a time. To stream simultaneously on multiple devices, you'll need separate paid accounts or the soon to be released Family Plan ($14.99/mo or $149/yr) that will give you 6 separate accounts.
