Briefly

Another Spotify price hike is coming to the US
"Spotify is raising the price for its Premium subscription in the US again (along with Estonia and Latvia). The new fee will be $12.99 per month, up $1 from $11.99 previously. The new pricing will take hold from your billing date in February. The Duo plan is going up to $18.99 from $16.99, the Family plan will be $21.99 (previously $19.99), while the Student plan will increase from $5.99 to $6.99."
"Of course, $1 or $2 extra per month isn't much, but the constant creep upwards of various subscriptions can't be anything other than annoying. The message you can see below will be sent to subscribers affected by the latest hike. Spotify thinks that "occasional updates to pricing" across its markets "reflect the value" that it delivers, enabling it to "continue offering the best possible experience" and to benefit artists (this implies the extra $1 goes directly to artists, but it doesn't, that's not how this works)."
Spotify increased Premium subscription prices in the US, Estonia, and Latvia, setting the standard plan at $12.99 per month, up $1. The change becomes effective on each subscriber's billing date in February. Duo moves to $18.99, Family to $21.99, and Student to $6.99, with increases of $1–$2 per plan. Notifications will be sent to affected subscribers. Many users view small monthly increases as part of steady subscription creep and find them annoying. Spotify frames the adjustments as reflecting service value and benefiting artists, though the implication that the extra dollar goes directly to artists is incorrect.
