The new price change kicks in today, according to an email sent to customers on Monday, explains iPhone in Canada reader, Gord. I believe in thin instance, it would be liable for me to pay $5 extra for my brother to experience Premium. Spotify has increased the price of its Premium Family plan, increasing it by 1 per month to 15.99 CAD in Canada. Out of curiousity, is anyone part of a family plan that is shared? I'm using my own $10 solo plan, with my brother still on free.
Spotify is definitely losing a fight for profit, but I truly believe asking users literally where they live is not the right direction for family verification. Spotify do still seem adamant to stop family plan sharing as a family plan is $15 per month for 6 concurrent users if I'm not mistaken, which I imagine costs Spotify a lot of money if people are leeching off someone else's primary account. Spotify tried it once and every customer who was part of the wave complained, so I see no reason to do it again, especially since customer privacy is an exponentially growing concern especially in subscription-based services like Spotify who rely on user data whilst not violating laws like GDPR. On a real note, I don't think this is going to work. It’s still unclear to what extent Spotify will be pursuing this kind of account verification or if it actually intends to cancel accounts that are violating the geographic limits. If you fail to meet those criteria, Spotify notes that it can terminate or suspend your family plan. New accounts will be required to verify their address using Google Maps, and Spotify “may from time to time ask for re-verification” of your home address.
