Tidal Revamps Pricing Structure, Offers Unified Hi-Fi Plan at $10.99
In a bid to stay competitive, Tidal merges its HiFi and HiFi Plus plans into a single, more affordable subscription tier, eliminating the free option and certain discounts.
- Tidal's new unified subscription plan will cost $10.99 per month for individuals, aligning with competitors like Apple Music.
- The revamped plan includes high-resolution FLACs, Dolby Atmos mixes, and over 100 million songs, but removes the free listening tier.
- Military, first responder, and student discounts are being phased out, with current discounts ending in June 2024.
- The changes, effective April 10, 2024, aim to simplify Tidal's offerings and enhance its competitiveness in the streaming music market.
- Tidal's decision follows a 10% staff layoff in December, amidst efforts to streamline operations and maintain relevance.
