"Looking at the new pricing, the change affects Premium, Student, Duo, and Family plans. Premium is jumping from $11.99 a month to $12.99, and Student from $5.99 a month to $6.99, but Duo and Family are getting bigger increases, rising from $16.99 a month to $18.99 and from $19.99 a month to $21.99, respectively. The company does still offer a free plan, but Premium adds benefits like ad-free listening, lossless audio, offline listening, and full control over what songs you hear."
"The new price will take effect when you get next month's bill. The service's last price increase was in June of 2024. Spotify plan pricing also increased in July of 2023, but that was the company's first price increase since it debuted in 2011. If this latest pricing increase is a tipping point for finally trying out an alternative, you do have other options to stream music."
