Is Spotify Duo Premium Worth It?
My girlfriend and I have one account for each subscription service we use. Most of these services are cool if we use the same account at the same time, but some of them are not. Spotify used to be one of those more restrictive apps, but the company has just added a new ‘Premium Duo’ subscription plan for US customers (the plan is also available in 54 other countries in Europe and Latin America) that will enable password exchange. partners more freedom.
Here’s how the new Premium Duo plan compares to other Spotify and premium family plans from its main competitors, Apple Music and YouTube Music:
- Spotify Premium for Individuals: $ 10 per month for 1 account, one login / stream allowed.
- Spotify Premium Duo: $ 13 per month for 2 accounts, both can sign in and stream at the same time.
- Spotify Premium Family: $ 15 per month for 6 individual accounts (up to 4 simultaneous streams).
- Apple Music Premium Family: $ 15 per month for six users.
- Family YouTube Music Premium: $ 15 per month for five users.
Apart from the difference in cost and number of accounts, the Duo plan includes all the usual Spotify Premium perks: no ads, on-demand listening, and the ability to upload your own music or download tracks for offline listening. There is also a dedicated “Duo Mix” playlist, which includes tracks that both users listen to, in case you want to share new music with each other or play one playlist while you do your household chores.
Obviously, Spotify Duo isn’t just for romantic partners; it can also work well for small families, two friends, roommates, or if you share a workspace with someone and want to use an office music streaming plan. However, while both Spotify Duo users can listen at the same time, they will need to use the same mailing address in their account information to use the Duo plan (the same limitation applies to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music Family plans as well). However, you can listen to as long as you like on whatever device you’re signed in to – you’re not limited to just using your service at home.
While the $ 2 difference between Premium Duo and Premium Family on paper may seem like a nominal, you will actually pay about $ 6.50 per person per month if you split the Duo subscription in half, rather than $ 7.50 per person. if you split the subscription. Premium family plan. Both are more affordable than the individual $ 10 individual plans, but the small additional savings on the Duo tier will add nearly two free months per user throughout the year – a bargain if you don’t need additional accounts on the Premium Family plan.
