Existing subscribers in the United States will receive an email with a notification about the price increase over the next month. Spotify says the service had to update the price so that it can "bring users the best experience."
We"re increasing the price of Premium Individual so that we can continue to invest in and innovate on our product offerings and features, and bring you the best experience.

Spotify is rumored to launch a new Premium tier that would offer subscribers access to lossless audio (more details about it recently leaked). It is expected to be a part of the new "Supremium" tier with a few extra perks, such as AI-generated playlists, additional listening stats, and more. Rumors say the Spotify Supremium tier will cost $19.99 per month. For reference, Apple includes lossless audio in the standard Apple Music subscription, which costs $10.99 per month for individuals and $16.99 per month for families.
