By Spotify is preparing to increase its subscription fees again. Starting in September, the company will roll out a Spotify Premium price increase across several countries, as it continues to invest in content and product updates.
The exact list of markets hasn’t been made official yet, but early reports suggest that both individual and family plans will be affected. The change comes to adjust to rising operational costs and licensing fees.
Spotify has been expanding its offerings lately, adding more audiobooks, exclusive podcasts, and personalized AI-powered features. But these upgrades come at a price.
For users, the jump might not be massive, but it’s still noticeable. Most affected markets are going to see increases of around $1 to $2 on monthly plans. Family and Duo plans might see slightly higher adjustments, depending on local pricing structures.
The company believes that added features and a better listening experience will justify the bump. Spotify has over 600 million users globally.
Spotify is hopefully starting to notify users by late August; the new rates are going to take effect in September.
If you’re a Premium user, now is a good time to check your email or account settings to see if the change affects you.
