One advantage Spotify has over rival services like Apple Music is the ease with which you can share songs and playlists, both directly with friends and across your social media profiles. In this regard, it doesn't matter if you pay for Premium, as Free users connect to all of the same devices. It's even possible to play Spotify content in any car equipped with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay or Spotify's own Car Thing device. That includes your PC, smartphone, tablet, smart TV or even games consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. You can listen to Spotify pretty much everywhere. However, if you're planning to play 'party' tunes using a Spotify Free account, you might find yourself explaining to guests why they're hearing a car insurance ad between jams.

This might all boil down to your personal tolerance for being advertised at, and it might not be a big deal if you're the only one listening. That goes for both the visual ads you'll see when scrolling through the app, and the ads that play radio-style between songs on Spotify Free. Spotify Premium: AdsĪrguably the biggest difference between Spotify's Free and Premium tiers is the latter's complete lack of ads.

In which case, Spotify Premium would get even more content compared to the free version. Thinking back to music libraries, it’s great that you can access almost the entire Spotify library for free, but the lack of some brand-new releases (if the artist decides to make them exclusive to Premium subscribers for a limited period) will be a big downer for serious music fans.Īlso, while we don't know how much Spotify HiFi will cost, nor exactly how many lossless songs it will make available, it's possible that Spotify will follow Apple Music and Amazon Music HD in folding lossless playback into the standard Premium tier. The newest Spotify Premium Duo offer includes 2 separate accounts for $12.99 per month, while $15.99 gets you a family-sized 6 accounts. You can also save by signing up for group deals, which work well for families or couple. If you can prove you’re a student, you can also get Spotify Premium for just $4.99 per month. A standard Premium subscription costs $9.99 per month, and you can pay annually at $99 per year - this effectively cuts the monthly cost to $8.25. The good news is you won’t need to pay that much.
