After months of speculation – as well as price increases from Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, and YouTube Music – Spotify has officially bumped the cost of individual subscriptions to $10.99 per month in the U.S.
The Stockholm-headquartered streaming giant announced and implemented the long-anticipated price jump today. Specifically in the United States, the mentioned ad-free individual subscription tier, at $10.99 monthly, now costs $1 more – compared to $14.99 for the “Duo” option (a $2 raise), $16.99 for the six-account family package (up $1), and $5.99 for the student plan (up $1).
Besides the United States, Spotify also took the opportunity to boost its pricing in over 50 other markets, among them Australia, Brazil, Canada, the U.K., Mexico, Singapore, and Thailand. (Below is a complete list of the premium, Duo, and family packages’ current prices in each of the affected markets.)
Despite reports that Spotify is prepping the rollout of its HiFi plan and a bolstered premium offering (complete with audiobook credits), execs didn’t mention either rumor in the formal release pertaining to the new pricing.
But it’s worth noting that the announcement has arrived just one day before Spotify will post its Q2 financials – spurring speculation as to whether the service managed to top its second-quarter subscriber forecast (217 million, up from 210 million at Q1’s end). At the time of this writing, Spotify stock (NYSE: SPOT), at $162.29 per share, was down 5.49 percent from Friday’s close.
Lastly, in terms of the details of the Spotify price increases, existing subscribers will be “given a one-month grace period before the new price becomes effective,” and those enrolled in free trials will receive one month at the pre-raise cost, according to the company. However, the retooled prices are live for ad-supported accounts.
