Spotify is increasing the cost of its UK premium subscription, the Money blog can reveal.
Emails have started going out to subscribers informing them the cost will rise from £11.99 to £12.99 a month.
It equates to an 8.3% increase.
Spotify says subscribers will get a one-month grace period.
It had announced earlier this year that prices would go up in various territories – but it had not been clear if this included the UK.
The last hike, also of £1, was introduced in the spring of 2024.
Spotify told us: “As we continue innovating and enhancing the value we deliver, we periodically update our pricing to reflect local market conditions and economic factors, ensuring our service remains unparalleled.”
Subscribers who don’t want to pay the extra £1 can cancel at any time before their next billing date.
Spotify’s student discount, making a subscription £5.99, appears to be unchanged.
Spotify, based in Sweden, is said to be the biggest music subscription service in the UK with 15.3 million subscribers – almost half the market.
