(SPOT.ph) We hate to be the bearer of bad news but listening to ad-free music on Spotify will now mean paying a higher monthly subscription fee.


As of August, Spotify has quietly rolled out new rates for all premium plans in the country. The increase affects new and existing users, with those already subscribed set to be charged the updated fees on their next billing cycle in September.


“We’re increasing the price of Premium so that we can continue to innovate on our product offerings and features, and bring you the best experience," Spotify said in its announcement.

Subscribing to the Premium version will give Spotify users access to better music quality, offline listening, no ads, no listening restrictions, and cross-border listening. Here’s a quick look at the new prices:


  • Individual Plan: P169/month (from P149) 
  • Duo Plan: P229/month (from P199) 
  • Family Plan: P279/month (from P239) 
  • Student Plan: P85/month (from P75) 

    • Spotify said that Premium subscribers will also be notified of this price change via email. Don’t worry if you haven’t received it yet—it will come soon enough. 

    The changes are actually part of a wider global hike announced in early August affecting subscribers across Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. The last time Spotify raised prices in the Philippines was in 2023.

    Those currently on the trial offer will be charged at this new price following the end of the trial period. You can check when your next billing date is on your Spotify account page.
