Is SiriusXM worth it in 2026?

SiriusXM is notorious for auto-renewing at full price after a cheap car trial and for being hard to cancel. At roughly $210 a year, whether SiriusXM is worth it comes down to one question: do you actually use it?

Worth it if…
  • You use it most weeks.
  • It's your only service in this category.
  • The value clearly beats the $210/yr.
Cancel it if…
  • You can't recall the last time you used it.
  • You also pay for Spotify or Apple Music or YouTube Premium.
  • It started as a free trial you forgot about.
