Spotify structures its paid offerings into four primary subscription models designed for different living arrangements and budgets. Each plan provides identical core audio perks—320 kbps streaming, ad-free listening, and offline downloads—differing primarily in authorized accounts and billing mechanisms.
1. Spotify Premium Individual ($11.99 / mo)
The Individual tier is designed for a single listener. It provides full access across mobile, desktop, smart TVs, and smart speakers, backed by personalized algorithmic playlists and AI DJ curation.
2. Spotify Premium Student ($5.99 / mo)
The Student tier provides a 50% discount for students enrolled at Title IV accredited colleges or universities. In select regions, the plan also includes access to bundled entertainment services such as Hulu (with ads). Eligibility is verified independently through SheerID and requires annual renewal for up to 4 consecutive years.
3. Spotify Premium Duo ($16.99 / mo)
Tailored for two individuals residing at the same physical address (such as couples or roommates), Duo provides two completely independent Premium accounts under a single discounted monthly invoice. Each member maintains their own private saved music, playlists, and recommendations.
4. Spotify Premium Family ($19.99 / mo)
The most cost-effective plan for households, Family supports up to 6 distinct Premium accounts for family members living together. It includes parental explicit content filters and access to the curated Spotify Kids app.
