The subscription price Premium Spotify is going to rise 1 euro next summer, and the change could occur as soon as next June. That is the last filtration from internal sources of the company, which is at the same time preparing a new “Super Premium” subscription even more expensive.
In part, this last Spotify change is not entirely surprising. Last year, Spotify raised the premium price in a dollar for accounts in the United States, from $ 10.99 a month at $ 11.99 per month. In the same way, in Spain Spotify Premium will cost 10.99 euros per month to 11.99 euros per month; A climb that seems small, but will be the second in two years. Recall that Spotify already raised prices in Spain in 2023, from 9.99 euros to the current 10.99 euros.
Filtration, published by The Financial Timesdoes not specify if all Spotify subscriptions will suffer a climb, but it is most likely. If we look at the US increases, the Spotify Duo Plan rose two dollars to $ 16.99 per month, and the family plan went up to 25% to $ 19.99 per month. Therefore, It is expected that new prices in Spain are similar, but in eurossomething that Spotify has not officially confirmed.
Perhaps the most shocking of this price increase is that It will come without changes to better in the Spotify service; Users will simply pay more than before, without any novelty or improvement to compensate. This is something especially striking, taking into account that Spotify is one of the few music streaming services that still does not offer high definition sound, as they offer alternatives such as Apple Music or Amazon Music for the same price.
To access the sound in high definition, Spotify prepares a new more expensive subscription, which would add $ 6 to $ 11.99 that will cost the basic subscription; Therefore, this new version “Super Premium” would potentially cost 17.99 euros per month in totala quota that exceeds mostly of music streaming services and is beyond the reach of many users.
However, both Spotify and the music industry seem convinced that these super premium plans are the future of the sector, something they call “streaming 2.0”. This would be a new experience, more exclusive than the current one, in which fans could enjoy the songs and concerts of their favorite artists before anyone else.

In addition to high definition sound, a Super Premium subscription would allow access new songs exclusivelywith a ‘Early Access’ system or early access that is already used in the video game sector. In this way, fans who want to listen to the new theme of their favorite artist will have to buy the most expensive subscription. Other possible advantages are exclusive access to concert tickets.
Although it seems that Spotify will be one of the first to make the leap to this “streaming 2.0” more expensive, it will not be the only one. The same filtration states that Apple, Amazon and YouTube are also preparing Premium versions Of their services, although they also warn that these plans can change.
