Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan is going up by a whopping $3, increasing from $17 to $20 monthly. The only subscribers getting a break are students, who will continue to pay $6 monthly.
Spotify announced the price hikes less than a year after its previous one last July. Before that, Spotify hadn’t raised its fees since launching a decade and a half ago. I guess it was too optimistic to hope the next increase would also take that long, especially with Spotify’s continued focus (and money dump) on audiobooks.
Premium subscribers should receive an email from Spotify in the next month detailing the price hike and providing a link to cancel their plan if they would prefer to do so. Users currently on a trial period for Spotify will get one month at $11 after it ends before being moved up to a $12 monthly fee.
People still use spotify? Huh, TIL.
You… Are kidding right?
You would have to be living under a proverbial rock to have no inkling that Spotify is a product still in use, or be willfully ignorant.
It’s like saying:
…etc
Not that I agree that we should use Spotify. But playing pretend that they are small, irrelevant, and have no effect on the industry they are in isn’t doing us any favors when it comes to pushing back against it.
You on their payroll? You sound like you’re on their payroll. Everyone I know ditched that garbage years ago.
Ah yes, you know so many people that it somehow becomes equivalent to a healthy sample size of the entire human population. Got it.
You ok? You seem really triggered over this.
Not at all! I had fun typing out the comment while considering the implications of your comment! :P
Thanks for the good time.
Most people tend to be triggered by ignorance paraded as knowledge and petulant personal attacks due to an inability to engage like an adult.
To be fair.
This thread is a textbook example of:
Instead of actually arguing the topic at hand you are trying to drag all repliers down to your level, act in bad faith, and beat them with personal attacks 🤣
Classic.
That was a lot of typing to avoid a simple question. You’re either a shill or you’re on their payroll.
literally just get audio files of whatever you wanna listen to and plop it on funkwhale
Spotify is the only good music app my car supports. It is what it is.
