Spotify is by far the world leader in musical streaming, with more than 500 million auditors and active listeners monthly. Suffice to say that the decision that has just been made should have an impact on many people.

A little dollar in addition

Times are difficult for Spotify, which must have twice in a few months dismiss staff. But the Swedish application, which remains by far the number 1 platform in its field, had so far not made these turbulence felt on its prices. Till today. Because according to information from Wall Street Journal, Things should change.

Indeed, the Spotify premium subscription will undergo an increase in its price in the country of Uncle Sam, and go from 9.99 to 10.99 dollars. An increase of $ 1, which still corresponds to 10 % increase, suddenly. And according to the same source, other consumers should soon be affected.

France concerned ?

Because it would only be a first step for this decision, the report of Wall Street Journal indicating that dozens of other markets in the world should be applied, ” in the coming months », This price increase. What suggest that the measure should be effective in most important countries for Spotify, so potentially also in France.

As a reminder, the Premium subscription is the formula which allows you to benefit from the entire application catalog without listening being polluted by commercial communications. In France, Spotify Premium costs 10.99 euros per month, with a possible cancellation at any time.

Do like me. No worries, I am not subscribed to Spotify.
You have to juggle the discovery offers between the different players ..

Seeing people pamper for a ridiculous increase in an already ridiculous price will always make me laugh. Artist is a job, paying off their work is just normal.

Coool between Spotify that increases, Netflix which deletes the basic option, everything is fine
1 € is not much either … for the service rendered I would personally.

They should offer a formula for occasional listening. I have a subscriber from time to time, often taking advantage of the promotion.
Otherwise I use the Mutify companion app. She mute when an ad arrives !

€ 2 on the family subscription, it fell yesterday
The increase of € 1 will serve to better remunerate artists or mystery shareholders

The artist will only receive € 0.004 per listening:

In view of what an artist affects and given what this increase is not justified by this increase.

Good morning,
I share my mail sent to Spotify:
Object: reflection on the increase in Spotify subscriptions
Dear,
Following your announcement concerning the increase in the Spotify subscription, I want to express my observations and concerns about the growing trend of content suppliers streaming to increase their monthly prices. In the past, the hacking of music was widespread, mainly due to the high prices of CDs and vinyls, which made it difficult to access a large musical library, unlike the current supply of music streaming.
The advent of streaming music has revolutionized the way of consuming music by offering access to a multitude of titles at an attractive price, thus helping to stem the hacking. However, over the years, subscriptions have gradually increased and begin to exceed what we consider as a reasonable price for the services offered. Although you mention the development of new services, it should be noted that the current offer is already satisfactory for the majority of users, who seek above all the possibility of enjoying their favorite music.
Another problem lies in the fact that all suppliers apply similar increases, which, when we add all our subscriptions, can become excessive. This situation could be assimilated to disguised consumption credits. I want to alert you to the potential consequences of such an approach, because some users could be deterred by too high subscription costs, and this could cause a return to hacking music.
Although this is not the main subject, it is essential to become aware of the impact of economic growth on our environment. Indeed, many environmental problems such as pollution and global warming are linked to our consumption methods and a constantly expanding economy.
In conclusion, I encourage you to think about how these increases could affect your loyal customers. Maintaining reasonable and fair prices will not only preserve your subscriber base, but also to continue to fight effectively against hacking. Together, we can contribute to a flourishing and sustainable digital musical environment.

Well, fortunately you have obviously not known the period before streaming … 11 € see even if they went up to 15 it remains less the price of one album per month. At a time must learn to live in reality.

Spotify … I am a subscriber and as much the offer is plethoric and interesting, as much their application is a beautiful dung at the ergonomic level and management of playlists. So much so that I will go to Deezer in Abo Family just because of that.

In Canada also increases +$ 1 and the duo offer like $ 2 I don’t know how much for the family offer.

Spotify will increase the price of its subscriptions

The boss of the musical streaming platform announces that price increases should be set up in 2023.

After Deezer and Apple Music users, Spotify customers should also see their invoice in the coming months. In an interview with Wall Street Journal, Daniel EK, boss of the Swedish company, announces price increases for 2023, without however specifying their magnitude and the exact date of their implementation.

In France, the standard subscription is currently invoiced 9.99 euros per month, against 15.99 euros for the family version allowing six users to take advantage of the service, and 4.99 euros for the student rate.

The standard subscription always under 10 euros?

In 2021, Spotify increased the price in certain European countries – but not in France, raising the price of the family subscription to 17.99 euros and that of the student subscription to 5.99 euros in the. The standard subscription was not concerned.

If Spotify applied these same increases in France next year, preserving the standard subscription, the platform would manage to keep its most popular offer below ten euros. A price identical to that of Youtube Music, but less than those of Apple Music and Deezer, who both recently increased their prices to place the cursor to 10.99 euros monthly.

This October 26, the leader in streaming music unveiled its quarterly financial results. It currently has 195 million paying subscribers worldwide, for a total of 456 million users, including Internet users being satisfied with its free advertising offer.

Spotify will probably increase its prices in 2023

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the Spotify boss deemed “probable” an increase in prices in 2023.

Despite strong growth, the platform with 456 million users (195 million with a paid subscription) recorded losses in the third quarter.

She had already applied an increase in prices in some countries.

Neither the details of the increase nor the date have so far been revealed. From 2023, Spotify users should see their monthly subscription to the platform increase. Despite 20% growth in the third quarter of 2022, the Swedish musical streaming giant saw its margins decrease and its losses widening to 166 million euros, pushing it to think of applying a price increase.

This is how Daniel Ek, the spotify boss, justifies this increase he deems “likely”, In an interview with Wall Street Journal this week. Currently, in France, the standard subscription is billed 9.99 euros per month, against 15.99 euros for the family version (for 6 users), and 4.99 euros for the student rate.

Price increases already applied in certain countries

The platform has already applied price increases in certain countries, but not in France. The price of the family subscription increased by 2 euros in certain areas, the passer -by to 17.99 euros. The student subscription was increased by 1 euro, to 5.99 euros. The standard formula was not affected by these increases.

If Spotify applied an identical policy in France from 2023, the platform would remain competitive with regard to its competitors. Apple Music and Deezer have indeed already increased their prices recently, passing the standard individual subscription beyond 10 euros, to 10.99 euros monthly.

On the occasion of the presentation of its quarterly financial results on October 26, Spotify takes stock of its number of subscribers. The platform, created in 2006, currently has 195 million paying subscribers worldwide, and 456 million users, counting those who have downloaded the application by being satisfied with the free offer with advertisements.
