Spotify is raising prices again - but I found a cheaper way to pay for it (and other alternatives)
ZDNET • • business
Key Points:
- Spotify is increasing prices for its paid plans, with most users seeing a $1 monthly hike, while some plans like Duo and Family will rise by $2.
- The new pricing affects Premium ($11.99 to $12.99), Student ($5.99 to $6.99), Duo ($16.99 to $18.99), and Family ($19.99 to $21.99) subscriptions, effective from the next billing cycle.
- Spotify continues to offer a free tier, but Premium plans provide additional benefits such as ad-free listening, lossless audio, and offline playback.
- An annual gift card option at $99 offers a cheaper alternative for committed users, averaging about $8.25 per month but
