The music and podcast platform, Spotify, is testing a new version that is lower cost and more accessible to users. The new format would have the characteristics of a free and paid account.
The new subscription model is currently in the testing phase. What the streaming platform intends is to open a new alternative with an extra plan to the existing ones: individual, duo, family and student plans; all with the premium option.
What does a Spotify Premium account have?
Until now, the paid version allows you to consume Spotify content without listening to ads, play or return the song in an unlimited way and freely choose the playback that the user wants in a library that has around 50 million files.
Within the premium version, 3,333 songs can also be downloaded on up to three devices. Music that has already been downloaded is listened to offline (without internet).
What can I do with a free Spotify account?
The free plan allows you to play any song in the catalog, but advertisements will be heard. You can only skip up to six songs and you don’t have control in the order they are played; everything will be in random mode.
Spotify plus is close, but not so close
There are still no guarantees that this new plan will be made official, but in the same way, they are in an important evaluation phase; at least this is what the company indicated:
“Some tests have been completed to pave the way for new offerings, while others served as learning. We have no additional information to share at the moment, “they said from Spotify.
There is little information on all the features that this new version would have, but until now it is known that the subscription value would be around $ 650 pesos per month, and that the advertisements will be heard between songs. It is not known what will be the number of ads that will be present in this new plan.
According to the information, the economic plan would allow the user to advance songs in an unlimited way and will not be strictly governed by the random playback mode.
The truth is that Spotify’s strategy, if carried out, would reduce the number of free accounts, and furthermore, it would not get rid of the ads by 100%; an economic outlook much more favorable than the current one.
