Spotify, price increase after 12 years…

The price of the Premium subscription of the music streaming platform Spotify is expected to increase shortly in the United States.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Premium subscription of the Spotify music streaming platform should see its price increase from $9.99 to $10.99 this week in the United States, an increase of $1 (kudos to those who had already managed to do the math).

Spotify matches Apple Music and Amazon Music pricing

An increase which is not surprising since already announced - without details - by the president of Spotify -Daniel Ek- a few months ago. A bit logical too when you know that this price had not changed for 12 years in the USA. Moreover, noting that the majority of competitors - Apple Music and Amazon Music in particular - have recently set this same price, Spotify can follow them without taking great risks of seeing its subscribers migrate to other places.

It remains to be seen if France - with a Premium subscription currently at $9.99 - will also follow, and if this increase will push users towards the new Spotify Hi-Fi option which will not be long in coming.
