Spotify raises US prices of its premium plans

New Delhi,05-June-2024, By IBW Team

Spotify raised prices for its premium plans in the United States on Monday, the latest step by the Swedish music-streaming service in its push to increase margins.

The company raised prices of its plan to USD 11.99 from USD 10.99 per month, the duo plan to USD 16.99 from USD 14.99, and its family plan to USD 19.99 from USD 16.99 in its largest market by revenue, Reuters reported.

Spotify has been trying to boost its margins in recent months by lowering marketing spending and through layoffs, after relying on promotions and hefty investments to drive user growth.

Shares of the company, which competes with services from Apple and Amazon.com, rose more than 4 percent in morning trading.

“We’re increasing the price of Premium Individual so that we can continue to invest in and innovate on our product offerings and features,” Spotify said in an email, which it plans to send to its subscribers in the U.S. over the next month.

Spotify‘s revenue in the United States grew nearly 11 percent to 5.23 billion euros (USD 5.69 billion) in 2023, according to its annual report.

The company offers an advertising-supported free service with limited features and a subscription-based paid service that gives access to all its functionality, with premium subscribers accounting for most of its revenue.

Analysts expect the streaming giant could drive further growth by offering tailored subscription plans based on consumer preferences in verticals such as music, audiobooks, and podcasts.

The company’s quarterly gross profit topped 1 billion euros (USD 1.09 billion) for the first time in April after it reined in marketing spending.

Its premium subscribers rose by 14 percent to 239 million and it forecast monthly active users at 631 million for the second quarter.
