Spotify just announced it has raised Premium subscriptions in countries across several regions, including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific. And unfortunately, Singapore is included.
In a news statement, Spotify explained that the price adjustment is necessary to support continued innovation and improve user experience. The new subscription prices will take effect for existing users starting in September.
We have compiled the current and new subscription fees for the four Spotify plans in the table below for your easy reference:
*NEW* | Current | |
Individual | S$11.98 (+S$1) | S$10.98 |
Student | S$6.48 (+$0.50) | S$5.98 |
Duo | S$16.98 (+S$2) | S$14.98 |
Family | S$20.98 (+S$3) | S$17.98 |
This marks Spotify’s second price hike in two years, following a hike in July 2023 when subscription fees rose between S$0.99 and S$2.
In other news, Spotify subscribers are still waiting on a “hifi” tier that would introduce lossless audio. Spotify announced in 2021 that it was working on a premium lossless streaming tier, but four years on, Spotify users are still waiting for lossless audio.
