$9.99 for single profile
$14.99 for 2 profiles
$19.99 for 4 profiles, then $3 for each additional profile

Can two profiles use it at the same time?

I asked them this question. No, not at the same time. But you can share your profile info with as many devices as you want. So I can give my daughter my login credentials, but we cannot be logged in and using the same profile at the same time.

Apple Music also has that if you don’t have a family plan. That was ultimately why I upgraded. Only one person on my Apple ID could listen at once.

When you use the app, you need wifi like with any other app. If you have the device, you only need to sync it to wifi once a month. But the downside to that is that is won't be up to date.

Does that mean if you purchase their device you only need to pay a monthly fee if you want new downloads?

No. Even when you purchase the device you have to pay the monthly fee per account.

How much memory does it use if it holds so much in the app and not in the cloud? I'm one of those people always backing up and then deleting things for lack of phone space and laziness to buy a micro SD 😂

How does that help anything? What’s the alternative?

Maybe TAG is in the middle of developing their own streaming music device and doesn't want competition?

of course not! it is basically spotify with only jewish content with availability to be used as an app on your phone or tablet, or on a purchased device that is doctored so that tho it is connected.to.wifi/internet, has no ability to be used for any other function other than playing 24/6.

Look. If someone has a flip phone and naki radio. Or even less access than that, a stream device that streams anything might not be the smartest. But if it’s an alternative to giving a child a smartphone with Spotify and Apple Music (which can’t be filtered) and they would otherwise have one, I think it’s beneficial. The kol koreh is likely for kids and families who aren’t growing up with any access at all.

This is just my own speculation and if I am right, I am not at all surprised. And I'm expecting more rabbonim to try to ban it as well. It's really a shame.

There is so much more music available on 24Six. There is more in terms of genre and also in terms of women singers and podcasters. There is music that I know some rabbonim do not allow. Even though it's Jewish music and frum singers (or mostly frum singers, there are a few older singers who are more classic and not as frum as today's popular singers), I can see why the same rabbonim who do not allow The Moshav Band for example, would not allow this app. Although you have the ability for the parent to filter the music before the teen or kid can listen to anything... in a world in which control is the name of the game, I can totally see this ban. It's not that the kids should not listen to The Moshav Band, they also don't want adults to listen to them either.

By the way I am not picking The Moshav Band randomly. I speak from experience. My husband and I enjoy them, and many years ago, my step kids also loved them. Back when my oldest stepson was 10, he and his younger siblings had The Moshav Band on their MP3s because they asked their father to download it for them. No problem, he did. Their mother was not happy about it because she does not approve of that music (I think it reminds her too much of her ex, their father). She went to her rav, a Lakewood rav in a town outside of Lakewood, and he said he does not hear the Yiras Hashem in the music and that they should not be allowed to listen to it. Each of the kids took to this in different ways. The 10 year old stopped listening to Jewish music all together. The only one of my stepkids who is still frum today (16 years after this event took place) is the one child who continued to listen to whatever Jewish music he wanted to listen to, including Moshav Band. He didn't sneak it past his mom, for a certain reason he was allowed to (he has a medical condition and he got whatever he wanted because of it, long story).

When you take away kosher outlets, and when you move the goalposts in terms of what makes something kosher - you are going to lose people, and we know this happens. It's really sad.

No, think of the implication of that. You have to pay to own music for always. This is just on the device while you are streaming it, or if you have the 24Six device, it's also only there while you pay for access. If you were to be able to download the music and keep it, it would be much more expensive. Any Jewish song is a dollar to purchase and keep, and the albums are much more than that. If you want to purchase them, you can do it on mostlymusic.
