My girlfriend and I share a single represent every subscription service we utilize. The majority of these services are cool with us using the exact same account simultaneously, but a few of them arent. Spotify used to be one of those more limiting apps, however the business has actually simply added a new “Premium Duo” subscription prepare for United States clients (the plan is likewise available in 54 other nations in Europe and Latin America) that will give password-sharing partners more liberty.

That said, you can listen as much as you desire on any gadget youre signed into– you arent limited to just utilizing your service in your home.
While the $2 difference in between Premium Duo and the Premium Family plan may seem nominal on paper, youll in fact be paying around $6.50 per person per month if you split a Duo sub down the middle, instead of $7.50 per person if youre splitting a Premium Family plan. Both are more inexpensive than having different $10 Individual plans, however the slight additional cost savings from the Duo tier will amount to almost two complimentary months for each user over the course of a year– a bargain if you dont require the additional accounts on the Premium Family strategy.
