How much is Spotify premium?

Spotify premium is a membership option within the streaming app that allows users to listen to music with no advertisements.

There are different varieties of the premium package.

For an individual package, the price is $9.99 per month. The individual package allows one account, and features ad-free music, offline listening, and on-demand playback.

The duo package allows two accounts to share a premium membership for the price of $12.99 per month.

With the duo package, both accounts will be added to the Duo Mix, which is a regularly updated playlist featuring music both users might like.

Spotify also offers a family package, which houses up to six accounts for the price of $15.99 per month. This package features the option to block explicit music, as well as offering Spotify Kids - a seperate app made specifically for children.

The family package also includes a Family Mix, which is a playlist featuring songs from each user on the plan.

Does Spotify offer a student discount?

For only $4.99 per month, Spotify offers a premium plan to college students.

The offer is only available to students at an accredited higher education institution.

On top of everything included in the individual premium package, the student package includes access to an ad-supported Hulu plan and SHOWTIME streaming service.

Only one account can be used per student package, unlike the duo and family plans.

Is Spotify free?

Spotify is accessible to users for no cost.

However, the free version of the app doesn't offer the same experience as the paid memberships do.

With the free plan, music can only be played in shuffle mode. Users are only able to skip songs up to six times per hour.

Spotify Radio isn't available with a free membership, but access to Daily Mix playlists are.

The free spotify membership also includes advertisements, typically popping up every 15 or 30 minutes.

What is Spotify Radio?

There is an option for premium members to access Spotify Radio, which is a station based off of any artist, album, playlist, or song.

Users are also able to save specific stations that they like.

Spotify also offers podcasts.

The music streaming app was founded on April 23, 2006, in Stockholm, Sweden.
