Spotify Lifts U.S. Premium Prices Across All Tiers, Effective With February Bills

The company says the higher fees will support product improvements and creator payouts as it expands podcasts, video and AI features.

Overview

  • New U.S. rates move to $12.99 for Individual (from $11.99), $6.99 for Student (from $5.99), $18.99 for Duo (from $16.99) and $21.99 for Family (from $19.99).
  • The changes take effect on subscribers’ February billing dates, and customers in the U.S., Estonia and Latvia will receive email notifications.
  • This marks Spotify’s third U.S. price increase since 2023, following hikes in July 2023 and June 2024, and follows similar rises in other markets last year.
  • Spotify describes the adjustments as occasional updates that reflect the service’s value and help it keep delivering a great experience and benefit artists.
  • Investors reacted positively with shares rising in premarket trading, even as competitors like Apple Music and YouTube Music still charge $10.99 for individual plans.
