Spotify’s presence in the music streaming market got some stiff competition in June 2015 when Apple launched its Apple Music streaming music service. Spotify still offers free streaming music accounts with fewer features-and no HD sound-for users who are willing to listen to periodic ads. The new Family Plan pricing is available immediately to all users around the world (except in Canada) in their local currencies. Spotify users have access to more than 30 million songs and can play any song on any device at any time, with no ads or restrictions with HD quality sound, according to the company. Spotify members who already have Family Plan accounts will be switched over to the new pricing on their next payment date and will be able to keep their existing playlists, personal recommendations and other features.
The new Spotify Family Plan rate puts the service on par with Apple Music, which charges $9.99 for one user or $14.99 for up for six family members.
A family of four would have paid $24.99 per month. With the old rate structure, a family of six would have paid $34.99 a month for six premium accounts. Under the revised plan, each user gets his or her own Spotify premium account, according to the company. The music streaming company unveiled its lower prices in a May 23 announcement, replacing its old pricing structure of $9.99 for the first user and $5 each for each additional user for family members. Spotify has dropped the price of its Spotify Family Plan premium music streaming services to $14.99 for up to six family members, saving a family of six about $20 per month over its former rates.
