Spotify, with its vast library of over 40 million tracks, is arguably one of the best audio services out there in the world. The Swedish company boasts of an active user base of 207 million, out of which 96 million are subscribed to their Premium service. If you happen to be one of them and are looking for a way to cancel your subscription for whatever reason it may be, you have come to the right place. Read ahead in the article to learn about some things about the paid service and how to leave it if it is not up to your expectations.
Spotify currently offers three different types of paid subscriptions in its supported countries. Namely, Premium (US$ 9.99 or INR 119), Premium Family (US$ 14.99 or INR 179) and Premium for Students (US$ 4.99 or INR 59). All of these support the same features with one addition for a Family subscription — Family Mix — which curates a playlist based on the tastes of everyone on the plan.
Users in certain Latin American countries also have access to a plan called Premium Duo which, as the name suggests, works for two people living together. It brings added features like one-tap sharing for playlists and Duo Mix, which is similar to Family Mix. It costs close to US$ 14 and may be made available to more countries later, as this is only a pilot programme.
If you are reading this article, it is most likely that you have a Premium subscription, if that is not the case, or you seem to have simply forgotten what it offers, here it is, summed up in a few terms — offline listening, no ads, the ability to play any song at will and unlimited skips.
