Spotify Overhauls Premium in Five Markets With Lite, Standard and Platinum Tiers

The revamp steers paying users upmarket by putting lossless audio, AI DJ, and playlist tools in a new Platinum tier.

Overview

  • In India, the new monthly prices are ₹139 for Premium Lite, ₹199 for Premium Standard, and ₹299 for Premium Platinum, with the Student plan at ₹99.
  • Premium Platinum adds lossless streaming plus access to AI DJ, AI playlist creation, third‑party DJ app integrations, and up to two additional household accounts.
  • Premium Lite offers ad‑free listening at 160 kbps without offline downloads, while Premium Standard restores offline access and raises quality to 320 kbps.
  • Existing subscribers will be carried over to the refreshed portfolio, but new customers cannot sign up for the old Duo or six‑member Family plans.
  • The three‑tier lineup launches in India, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa as part of Spotify’s push to lift revenue after reporting Q3 subscriber and MAU growth.
