At \u00a39.99\/$9.99 a month for a single Spotify Premium subscription, listeners had a great deal but Spotify lost money each year it kept its price the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to catch up with rising costs and (hopefully) to help remunerate artists and labels more, Spotify have upped their Premium prices for the second time in a year. Spotify raised their price for the first time last July. The monthly price of an individual Premium account rose \u00a31\/$1 to \u00a310.99\/$10.99 a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual subscriptions are set to rise at the end of April to \u00a311.99\/$11.99. Duo and Family plans will also see a big price rise to \u00a316.99\/$16.99 and \u00a319.99\/$19.99 respectively. That&#8217;s a \u00a33\/$3 increase for the Family plan and a \u00a32\/$2 increase on Duo subscriptions. Spotify Premium Student prices will remain the same at $5.99 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify seem to have soft-dropped the price changes so far. The prices have changed on their website however they haven&#8217;t made a public statement about them yet. Public reactions online are mixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be argued that the price hikes are a fair response to inflation after years in operation with no rise in prices. With criticism over whether artists are getting paid enough, extra revenue puts Spotify in a better position to remunerate the music industry. However, as rising costs hit consumers hard, another price rise may impact the number of users who can keep up with their payments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The price of a Spotify subscription for ad-free music streaming will increase for the second time in 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":99571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1038,825],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
