Overview

• New monthly prices are set at €12.99 for Individual, €6.99 for Student, €17.99 for Duo, and €21.99 for Family.
• Spotify cites an included 12 hours of audiobook listening per month in Premium as a key reason for the increase.
• Current Premium members can switch to a Basic plan that keeps prior Premium features and pricing but excludes the audiobook allowance.
• The Basic option is reported to be available only to existing Premium accounts and cannot be newly selected after canceling.
• With 696 million active users, including 276 million Premium subscribers, the change is prompting some to explore rivals and use transfer tools such as Soundiiz, TuneMyMusic, Playlistor, SongShift, and Free Your Music.
