Spotify is increasing the price of its ad-free premium service in more than 50 countries.
In the UK, monthly fees will go up by £1 a month to £10.99 for an individual plan, £14.99 for a duo plan (for two listeners) and £17.99 for a family plan (for up to six listeners).
The price of a student plan remains unchanged at £5.99, and the company will continue to offer a free plan that includes advertising.
“So that we can keep innovating, we are changing our Premium prices across a number of markets around the world,” the music streaming service said in a statement.
“These updates will help us continue to deliver value to fans and artists on our platform.”
The announcement comes after recent price rises from other streaming services, including Apple Music and Netflix.
Existing Spotify subscribers will be notified one month before the price changes come into effect.
Spotify has 515 million monthly active users around the world, of which 210 million (40%) pay a monthly subscription fee.
