Don't forget to switch to basic family with the price increase if you're the account holder and not using audio books!
Back to $16.99USD on basic... For now.

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!

r/spotify on Reddit: What is the "basic family plan?"
December 19, 2022 -
With the price increase, it looks like I can keep the $16.99 price by going from premium family to basic family. There are two differences listed: basic doesn't include audiobooks (fine), and there's a distinction between "up to 6 basic/premium accounts".
So does basic family include ads? Doesn't allow downloads? Anything else? If so, what is the benefit of basic family over just going with the free service?

All Premium plans include:
-
Ad-free music listening
-
Download to listen offline
-
Play songs in any order
-
High audio quality
-
Listen with friends in real time
-
Organize listening queue
"Basic Family" isn't marked "Premium" like the other plans are, so I'm wondering which of those features it's missing, in addition to audiobooks.

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.

Spotify launches new Basic Plan in the United States – here's what you need to know | TechRadar
June 22, 2024 - Users won’t be given up to six Premium or Kids accounts as they’ll all be considered Basic. And much like the individual Basic plan, families won’t have the audiobook listening hours. The same representative from earlier confirmed that the Basic Family Plan exists as an option. Beyond that, everything else stays the same as the other Spotify Premium plans, and we won’t see any changes or a third price hike.

Spotify Has a New Secret Premium Plan
June 21, 2024 - It works like the $19.99/month Spotify Premium Family plan, but it doesn’t have included audiobooks and has a lower $16.99/month price. Spotify is also rumored to be working on a new higher-cost premium plan, which would include access to high-fidelity audio, like Tidal’s HiFi Plus and Apple Music’s lossless audio. According to Bloomberg, the plan will be released later in 2024, and will reportedly cost “at least $5 more per month.” · Hopefully, Spotify Basic will eventually become a regular plan option, instead of a hidden option only accessible to some customers.
