This is an ad that could worry more than one Internet user. As Verge reports, Spotify will increase its prices in several regions of the world, including Europe.
“To continue innovating in our offers and features and offer the best possible user experience, we regularly update our prices,” said the musical transmission platform in a blog post on Monday, August 4.
France saved
As of September, premium subscribers in Europe, Asia del Sur, Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific will be informed of tariff modifications. The transmission giant has remained very vague in the amount of this increase. The only given example is that of a personal subscription that goes from 10.99 euros per month to 11.99 euros. Or an increase of one euro per month.
However, this price increase will not refer to French subscribers, assures a company spokesman in Tech & Co. In fact, the musical service has already increased its subscriptions, between 1 and 3 euros, last July in several European countries, including France. For example, the individual premium subscription now reaches 12.14 euros per month, against 11.12 euros per month before.
This is the highest package within the European Union. A price that can be explained by the implementation of the “transmission tax” in January 2024, a mandatory contribution that the French music sector must finance. In response to this new tax, Spotify had announced a series of divestments in France, and also increased its prices to transmit it to its subscribers.
