Spotify Raises Subscription Prices in U.K. for Second Time in 18 Months, U.S. Price Hike Likely Soon
Update: 2025-10-29
Description
Spotlight on Spotify: Price Hikes and Artist BacklashSpotify announces price increases in the U.K. and Switzerland, with individual plans jumping by £1.99 and CHF 2 in the respective markets. The company cites innovation and market pressures as reasons for the hikes. Industry analysts predict a similar increase in the U.S., potentially generating nearly half a billion dollars in extra yearly revenue. However, the move has drawn criticism from artists, who recently saw their royalties cut by millions annually. Spotify may introduce new features or a Superfan tier to soften the blow, but for now, users in the U.K. and Switzerland are the first to feel the impact.
