Spotify's monthly fee isn't cheap—the individual plan costs over $10 per month, which adds up to a significant expense over a year. However, the platform officially offers student discounts, family plans, and duo subscriptions that can save you a lot. Below are a few tested money-saving methods so you can keep listening without the guilt.
Student Discount: Half-Price Streaming
If you're a currently enrolled college student, Spotify offers an exclusive discount. The student plan costs less than half the price of the individual plan—just $4.99 per month—and includes the ad-supported versions of Hulu and Showtime. Verification is simple: just enter your school email or upload your student ID. You'll need to re-verify once a year.
Family Plan: As Low as $2.80 Per Person
The family plan is Spotify's most recommended money-saver. At $16.99 per month, you can add up to 6 family members, making it under $3 per person per month. Compared to the individual plan at $10.99 per month, a family of six saves nearly 70%. All members must live at the same address, but the verification isn't strict—sharing with a few friends or roommates works well.
