Spotify is about to get pricier for Canadians!
Spotify has announced another price increase, set to take effect in December 2024, following its last hike in July 2023. According to the company, this change will help fund innovation in its product offerings and features.
In addition, Spotify told Billboard Canada that the price hike is also in response to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)’s Online Streaming Act. This law requires foreign streaming platforms, like Spotify, to contribute 5% of their Canadian revenue toward local news production and content.
Here are the new prices for Spotify in Canada starting December:
- Student: $6.39/month (up from $5.99/month)
- Premium: $12.69/month (up from $10.99/month)
- Duo: $17.89/month (up from $14.99/month)
- Premium Family: $20.99/month (up from $16.99/month)
