US streaming music service MOG has been planning its move into mobile for a while now, but yesterday at SXSW it unveiled its iPhone and Android apps – and equally importantly, the pricing to use them. MOG’s current web service costs $5 a month, but users wanting access via mobile too will pay $10. The app includes local cacheing to listen to music when a user loses their connection. The apps will launch in the second quarter of this year, and CEO David Hyman has revealed that in the UK, the service will cost £5 and £10 without or with mobile access. The pricing may have implications for Spotify’s upcoming US launch – in Europe it charges £9.99 / £9.99 a month for its premium service, including mobile access.
