Spotify raises prices for its premium plans in over 50 countries

Audio streaming giant Spotify announced today that it’s raising the prices of its premium plans in more than 50 countries around the world, including the United States.

‘’The market landscape has continued to evolve since we launched. So that we can keep innovating, we are changing our Premium prices across a number of markets around the world. These updates will help us continue to deliver value to fans and artists on our platform,’’ the company said in a post on Monday.

Following the new price hike, Spotify subscribers in the United States will need to pay $10.99/per month for the Premium Single plan, $14.99 for Premium Duo, $16.99 for Premium Family, and $5.99 for Premium Student, all up 1$ from the company’s previous pricing.
