Spotify Price Increase to Start in May
Spotify is officially raising the subscription prices of some of its plans for users in the UK and a few European countries. The US. Family Plan subscribers will also be afflicted by the price increase.
The leading music streaming service has sent emails to subscribers informing them that the prices will increase starting April 30th. The new price increase will affect the Premium Student plan which will increase from £4.99/€4.99 a month to £5.99/€5.99 a month, and Premium Duo which will increase from £12.99/€12.49 a month to £13.99/€13.99 a month.
Spotify price increase will also hit the Family Plan which allows up to 6 users with the biggest increase in prices in the UK and Europe as the monthly subscription fee will increase from £14.99/€14.99 to £16.99/€17.99. The US. Family plans will only increase by one dollar from $14.99 to $15.99 per month.
Fortunately, the regular Premium prices will not be affected by the price increase, at least for now.
