As of October 2026, SiriusXM costs $11.99 a month for All Music in the car and app, $25.99 a month for All Access in the car and app, and $11.99 a month for All Access app only. New subscribers can start any of those plans at $1 for 3 months.
SiriusXM pricing looks simple until you see the add-ons and the renewal terms. The headline plans are monthly, the intro offer is the same across the main plans, and what you pay after month three depends on whether you want music only, everything, or just the app. Here's the full breakdown from the SiriusXM plans page.
SiriusXM prices by plan
| Plan | Where you listen | Intro offer | Then |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Music | Car + app | $1 for 3 months | $11.99 a month |
| All Access | Car + app | $1 for 3 months | $25.99 a month |
| All Access (App Only) | Home and mobile devices only | $1 for 3 months | $11.99 a month |
| SiriusXM Sports Pass | Sports coverage | 1 month free | $5 a month |
SiriusXM describes All Music and All Access as its popular in-car plans, and both include listening in the SiriusXM app on your devices as well as radio service in the car.
All Music add-ons
All Music is curated by genre, decade, artist and mood. If you want more than music, SiriusXM lets you bolt on extras to the All Music plan:
- Sports: $8 more a month
- News: $5 more a month
- Talk: $5 more a month
If you want more than one add-on, add up the total and compare it with All Access before you choose, because the everything plan may suit you better.
What All Access includes
All Access is SiriusXM's everything plan. The plans page lists:
- Ad free music curated by genre, decade, artist and mood
- Live NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and college games, plus NASCAR, the PGA TOUR and more
- Premium sports talk, including analysis, predictions and fantasy sports
- World and national news, plus politics and issues
- Celebrity hosted talk shows and comedy
- Exclusive video of in-studio interviews and performances
The App Only version gives you the same everything, but you can only listen on home and mobile devices, not through a car radio. If you mostly listen on your phone through CarPlay or a speaker at home, App Only at $11.99 gets you All Access content for the same monthly price as All Music.
Which SiriusXM plan suits which listener
| If you mainly... | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Listen to music in the car | All Music | It's built for music, and the add-ons are optional |
| Want sport, news and talk in the car | All Access | It includes everything SiriusXM offers, in the car and the app |
| Listen on your phone or smart speaker | All Access (App Only) | You get everything without paying for car radio service |
| Only care about live games | SiriusXM Sports Pass | It's built around live games, league coverage and sports talk |
It's worth being honest about how you listen. If your car has CarPlay or Android Auto and you always have your phone with you, you may not need the car radio service at all, and that's what the price gap between All Access and App Only is really paying for.
The renewal and cancellation terms
This is where the $1 offer can bite. SiriusXM's offer details say your plan will automatically renew and you'll be charged the then current rate until you cancel. A credit card is required, tax and other fees may apply, and there are no refunds except as set out in its Customer Agreement.
The timing rule matters most: SiriusXM says you must cancel at least 24 hours before renewal, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You can cancel online or by phone. The offer is for new subscribers and qualifying radios or devices, as decided by SiriusXM, and it can't be combined with other offers.
How to pay less for SiriusXM
- Decide where you listen. If it's mostly your phone, App Only is the cheaper route to All Access.
- If you only want music, take All Music and skip the add-ons.
- Take the $1 for 3 months offer, and note the renewal date the day you sign up.
- Set a reminder for at least 24 hours before renewal so you can cancel or switch plans in time.
- If you're a sports fan who doesn't need music, look at the Sports Pass at $5 a month after its free month.
If you mainly listen to podcasts and music, compare what you'd get from a dedicated podcast app and the Spotify Premium plans before committing. For the trial routes into SiriusXM, see the SiriusXM free trial guide.

My verdict
SiriusXM is worth it for people who drive a lot and want live sport, news and talk without fiddling with a phone. For everyone else, All Access App Only at $11.99 is the smart buy, because it carries everything for the price of the car music plan. Whatever you choose, take the $1 offer and diarise the renewal, because the jump after month three is easy to miss.
