Apple Permits Spotify to Display Pricing for EU Users After Antitrust Fine
Spotify can now show subscription costs within its iOS app in the EU, but limitations on direct purchase links remain.
- Spotify and Apple have been in a legal battle over app store policies since 2019.
- Apple was fined nearly $2 billion by the European Commission for antitrust violations in March 2024.
- Spotify has opted into Apple's 'entitlement' for music streaming services, allowing pricing information display.
- Users can see promotional offers and subscription costs but cannot click links to purchase directly in the app.
- Spotify continues to push for more consumer-friendly policies and lower cost payment options.
