The company has changed its pricing in India for the first time since its launch in 2019. The new plans will be revised for users, duo and even the family versions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The platform is looking at ways to manage the overhead costs involved in running the app and also continue to bring new features for its users. These price changes are applicable in markets like the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia-Pacific among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Spotify Plans To Cost More: What You Pay In India<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The basic Spotify individual plan will now cost you Rs 139 per month, which is a Rs 20 hike on the current version. Similarly, the Spotify Duo plan, which allows two people to use one account, now comes at Rs 179 per month, which is a Rs 30 increase on the previous offering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And the family plan has got the biggest hike of Rs 50, which means you need to spend Rs 229 (rather than Rs 179) per month for up to 6 people to use one account. This might be the first time when Spotify has revised plans in India but its free offerings are clearly taking a backseat in the last few years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The platform has reduced the number of features you get with the freemium version that has ads. You even see basic options like repeating a song or playing its lyrics removed from the free tier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Spotify isn\u2019t the only streaming platform to make changes to its services in India. YouTube had recently increased the price of the Premium version that gives you ad-free video streaming and access to the YouTube Music app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Spotify is clearly looking to turn the free users into paid subscribers, and in addition to that, the company now wants to increase its revenues from these emerging markets, as the competition looks to build its own streams. We\u2019re yet to see the Spotify Hi-Fi version launch in the market, but hopefully that changes in the coming months. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-3634574991 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
