Spotify Raises Premium Prices in U.S., Estonia and Latvia Starting in February

Spotify says the higher rates fund platform upgrades and creator payouts, with email notices sent before billing-cycle changes take effect.

Overview

  • New U.S. monthly rates are posted: Individual $12.99, Student $6.99, Duo $18.99 and Family $21.99, each up by $1 to $2.
  • The increases take effect in February 2026 and will apply on each subscriber’s next billing date after notification.
  • Spotify has begun alerting affected users by email, and the updated tiers are visible on the company’s Premium page.
  • Mexico is not included in the 2026 update and local prices remain at 2025 levels, though analysts note Latin America often follows in later phases.
  • The company frames the adjustment as supporting product improvements, expanded podcasts and video, and ongoing payments to artists and partners.
