The UK is one of the company’s biggest markets: Spotify’s British subsidiary saw its revenues rise 41.8% to £131.4m in 2013, helping it post a net profit of £2.6m that year. Spotify declined to comment on the claim, but told the Guardian that the new family plan will launch in the UK in the next few weeks. It has not updated those figures since, but according to music label sources, the company has since passed the 50m active users milestone. In May 2014, Spotify said that it had 40m active users including 10m paying subscribers. These kinds of deals can be appealing for families, particularly parents who are concerned that their children might be downloading music illegally – although in truth, in 2014, they’re more likely to be streaming their music from YouTube.įor Spotify and its rivals, family plans are potentially a way to add more premium subscribers who, even after the 50% discount, boost these companies’ revenues much more than users of their free, advertising-supported versions do. The deal finished in October, however, and has now been removed from AT&T’s website. In the US, Beats Music launched in January 2014 with a partnership with telco AT&T, charging a flat $14.99 a month for up to five people on 10 devices to use its service. It charges £17.99 a month in the UK for two unlimited subscriptions, then £5 each for a third, fourth or fifth family member. Rival Rdio launched similar family plans in August 2011 for up to three family members, before expanding the total to five in June 2013. Spotify’s chief content officer Ken Parks said that a family plan was “one of the most asked for features from our audience”, although the company is not the first streaming service to introduce it. It is rumoured that this change will continue in some parts of Asia and South America as well but nothing has been specified yet.Each family member will have their own account on Spotify to create and follow playlists and musicians, as well as signing in to Facebook to follow friends. The Spotify family plan in Europe is also increasing from €14.99 to €17.99 per month, following a similar pattern of an increase by two euros. Ireland and a few other European countries will see an increase in both Duo and Student Spotify plans by a euro each per month i.e. Spotify family subscription plan will increase by two euros in the UK, with the new price being £16.99.Ī similar scenario of Spotify raising prices will also affect users in some European countries. Spotify Duo, which was previously priced at £12.99 will increase to £13.99 whereas Spotify Student, which was previously priced at £4.99 will increase to £5.99.
