NetEase Cloud Music / 网易云音乐 is listed at about $8/month (VIP rough USD, checked 2026-08-05), or $96 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

Honestly: licensed catalog; social comments; artist promotions. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
