I was subscribing to iTunes Match which is 25 dollars a year. I was trying out Apple Music as a trial basis and that ended. I have to decide whether to keep Match and move to AM.

I am thinking of cancelling the iTunes Match subscription because Apple Music includes iTunes Match. I want to confirm that is true.

Does Apple Music include iTunes Match? I don't see any reason to subscribe to both Match and AM.

Yes, this is true.
If you have Music, you can cancel your iTunes Match subscription.

iTunes Match is fully and wholly integrated with Music, without any exceptions.

No, you won’t have any issues.
You already have iTunes Match so all the matching and uploading has already taken place. Adding Music will only do that, add Music.
Feel free to cancel iTunes Match after that.
