r/truespotify on Reddit: Basic plan vs premium individual
June 23, 2024 -

For people that are wondering about the new plan and the cryptic "basic individual" that's not marked as premium — you still keep all the basic features of your basic music plan. The literal difference is that there's no access to audiobooks. Once I secured the basic, it showed all the features: save music, listen in any order, etc.

Switch to basic family!
You good sir are doing the lord's work. I saw the email about the price increase, sighed, and didn't read any further. Since I don't use audio books at all - that would have kinda sucked...so many thanks! More on reddit.com

In most countries where the Basic Individual plan is available, the only difference between it and the Premium Individual plan is that with Basic Individual, you don’t get the 15 hours of audiobooks access that you would have with Premium Individual (although you can still purchase audiobooks via one-time payments separately with Basic Individual).

Spotify Free vs. Premium: 5 Reasons Why I Pay for Premium
September 17, 2025 - I'd argue the newfound ability to play any song you want with Spotify Free is a bigger deal than getting lossless audio with Premium. This helps close the gap between the two tiers in terms of the control you have over your music. Before, the free version of Spotify felt more like Pandora where you could listen to only a song based on an artist or song instead of the song itself.

September 26, 2024 - The answer, as always is more complicated than just “Well if you’ve got $11.99 going spare every month, then you should get Premium!”, with more nuance to the two streaming options. After all, $11.99 is a lot of money to watch clear out of your bank account when Spotify comes a-knocking for its monthly tithe — so let’s work out whether you should stick to Spotify Free, or cough up for its feature-rich Premium option.
