How much is Spotify Premium?

Spotify Premium – is it expensive? (Picture: Bloomberg via Getty Images)

Swedish music streaming service Spotify is majorly popular around the globe.

The app, launched in 2008, has 422 million users worldwide, many of whom use the site’s free features – but the company says 182 million subscribers opt for its paid service: Spotify Premium.

Premium comes with several perks, though mainly ensures you don’t get any pesky ads amid the music.

But it does involve a small sum being taken from your bank account each month, as do other entertainment subscriptions such as Netflix, Disney+ and Apple Music.

Understandably, many will be considering new purchases carefully given the current cost of living – while some current subscribers might be wondering if they’d rather save the cash.

So, what exactly does Spotify Premium cost? And what do you get for your money?

How much is Spotify Premium?

Spotify Premium costs £9.99 per month in the UK for an Individual account.

If you’ve never had one before, you can see if you like it with a two-month free trial that can be cancelled anytime.

There are other payment options, though – if you want to share subscriptions with a partner, friends or family members.

The Duo subscription costs £13.99 per month and offers two accounts, which comes to around £6.99 each.

There’s also a Family option, which costs £16.99 per month and gives you six Premium accounts. Split between six people and it comes to around £2.84 for each person to pay.

Last but not least, the Student account for people attending university costs £5.99 per month.

The Duo, Family and Student options also come with a free trial for new users, though these only last for one month – however you may find different deals over time.

What do you get with Spotify Premium?

Spotify Premium essentially allows you to use Spotify as your own music library.

The Free version lets you listen to albums and playlists on shuffle mode – but generally speaking, you only get six opportunities per hour to skip songs you don’t like.

Ads play during listening sessions, which is the price you pay for the free music.

Spotify Free also doesn’t allow you to download your favourite tracks for offline listening.

With Premium, you can listen to whatever song you like, and can download any tracks to your ‘Liked Songs’ and listen to them offline as well as on, without any ads at all.

If you’re listening to an album or playlist, you have ‘unlimited skips’ so you can find a song you like.

Both options allow you to discover new music, with a homepage on the app that provides a variety of curated playlists.

Don’t care about music all that much, but just want Spotify for the podcasts?

Both options allow you to listen to podcasts, but unfortunately it’ll be tough to escape ads for Free or Premium users – if the host embeds ads or sponsorship messaging into their content.

Is Spotify Premium worth the cost?

Overall, it’s up to you how much you want to spend on Spotify, if anything.

If you’re a casual listener, are happy to listen to any songs it plays for you, and regular ads won’t make you burn up in a fiery rage, then Free should work fine for you.

If you want to listen offline, skip songs you don’t enjoy, and often find that ads interrupting your entertainment DO make you burn up in a fiery rage, then Premium might tempt you.
