A year after Spotify first raised the price of Spotify Premium in the US, it's happening again. Next month, Spotify subscribers in the US will begin receiving an email detailing price increases on Premium, Duo, and Family plans. Spotify Premium will now cost $11.99 per month, up from the $10.99 increase announced last year.
If you subscribe to Spotify Duo, you'll increase $2 per month, from $14.99 to $16.99 per month. Family will also increase from $16.99/month to $19.99/month. That means the price of a Spotify Duo subscription has increased by 30 percent in a year, compared to prices before last year's increase. Spotify Family was also up 25 percent over the course of a year, and Spotify Premium was up 20 percent.
“So that we can continue to invest and innovate in the features of our products and give users the best experience, we occasionally update our prices,” Spotify says in a blog post announce price changes. “Over the next month, US subscribers will receive an email explaining what this update means for their subscription.”
Spotify announced price increases for its international subscribers last month, so these price increases don't just affect US subscribers. Bloomberg reported Last month, Spotify also plans to launch its “Supremium” plan, with lossless streaming and other features. Some Spotify users I have even noticed it a Dolby Atmos logo on the app's Now Playing screen in recent months, suggesting this could be part of the Supremium feature set.
