Spotify Premium Price Increase Outside the US
Spotify is raising Premium subscription prices in several regions outside the US, affecting millions of users. The streaming giant confirmed that subscribers in Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific will see their monthly fees rise. Impacted customers will receive email notifications over the next month, with price hikes varying by country. For example, one region saw its Premium plan rise from €10.99 to €11.99 per month.
Why Spotify Premium Prices Are Increasing
The price increase comes shortly after Spotify reported weaker-than-expected earnings. Like many subscription services, Spotify regularly reviews its pricing to keep up with rising licensing costs and investments in new features. While the company did not disclose the exact list of affected countries, early checks suggest that Spain, Italy, and Portugal are already seeing higher monthly rates for new subscribers.
Which Countries Are Impacted by the Spotify Premium Price Hike
While the full list of affected regions hasn’t been shared, some European countries have already received price adjustments. Spain, Italy, and Portugal now have updated rates, while countries like France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands remain unchanged after earlier price hikes this year. Users across Asia, Africa, and Latin America can also expect similar adjustments, with official notifications arriving via email.
What Spotify Users Should Know About the New Prices
If you’re a Spotify Premium user outside the US, check your email for updates on your subscription. The new pricing will be applied to your next billing cycle, and the increase is typically around €1 per month, depending on your region. For those considering alternative plans or family options, this might be a good time to review which subscription best fits your needs.
