How much is Spotify Premium? Prices across Europe

In short: Spotify Premium has four plans — Individual, Student, Duo and Family — and a separate price in every country. Billing is monthly, so the yearly cost is the monthly price times twelve. The table below shows the monthly price in ten European markets.

Spotify Premium prices across Europe

Every amount was read from Spotify’s own price page for that country. Plan names are given here in English; locally they appear translated, but they cover the same thing.

Two things stand out. Euro countries do not share a price: Belgium and the Netherlands sit well above Spain and Italy. And neighbouring markets in the same language differ too — Austria is cheaper than Germany on Duo and Family.

What that means for a year

Spotify bills monthly in all of these countries, so the yearly figure is the monthly price multiplied by twelve. The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive Individual plan in this table comes to roughly two months of the cheaper one over a year.

If you changed plan during the year, count each stretch separately rather than multiplying the current price — the method is in the guide what your subscriptions cost per year.

Which plan fits

• Individual — one account, no further conditions.
• Student — one verified account, for students at accredited institutions; the status has to be confirmed again over time.
• Duo — two accounts for two people at the same address.
• Family — up to six accounts in one household, with parental controls.

For a shared plan, divide by the accounts actually in use, not by the seats available. A Family plan with three active accounts costs more per person than a Duo used by two.

Where to check the price you actually pay

• In your Spotify account — the plan page shows your plan, the amount and the next renewal date.
• Wherever you bought it — a subscription taken through the App Store, Google Play or a mobile operator is billed there, often at a different price, and is cancelled there too.

If you are not sure which of those is charging you, work through the guide find all your subscriptions.

Cancelling Premium

Spotify describes two steps: open the plan management page in your account and choose to cancel. Premium keeps working until the end of the billing period you have paid for, after which the account moves to the free, ad-supported version.

Saved songs and playlists stay where they are, so a cancellation is not a reason to migrate your library elsewhere in a hurry.

Switching plans, and what the student rate depends on

Plans change in the plan management page of your account. Moving from Individual to Duo or Family is not only about price: both are meant for people at the same address, and Spotify can ask you to confirm it.

The student rate is not open-ended either. Spotify asks you to confirm your status, and once the verification lapses the standard price applies again — the most common reason a music bill rises without anything else changing.

Is Premium worth it where you live?

Compare the monthly price with the days you genuinely listen. Daily listening makes the per-day cost negligible in any of these countries; a couple of sessions a month makes each one expensive, whichever price list applies to you. The calculation is in the guide is your subscription worth it?
