Recently saw someone asking how to pretend your a student to get Spotify student pricing. We’ll just wanted to say the family plan is $15.99 and you can split it with 6 people and it comes out cheaper than the student pricing without faking a student email/ID. You can all keep your same accounts too, you just activate it and add five friends. I just had them all pay me the $32 up front for the whole year so I wasn’t tracking them down for $2.60 payment each month.

for context, we are a family of 4, 2 daughters, me and my wife. we share a premium individual account across 4 devices, then i bought my daughters a tablet and they installed spotify. and now one of us gets logged out from time to time, is it true only 5 devices per account? then i saw the family plan, with 6 accounts all tied in, does that mean we can log in 5 devices per account? and also can we import and export playlist? since my account holds all our playlist.

Is this not insane to anybody else? I have been trying for the last couple of days to change to the basic spotify family plan from the premium spotify plan so I dont have to pay for audiobooks I dont use. But apparently if you change your subscription after June 20th, youre not allowed to have the basic plan?? After searching online theres no solution to this either

I love spotify and have been using it for 5+ years at this point but this is crazy to me

What's lost if we switch to basic family plan?

I see audiobook listening is but what else is?

Do any of the following change:

Audio quality

unlimited skip

Offline Listening

Addfree listening

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?

so my card got changed and i originally had basic family premium, but when i added my new card, it told me to choose either premium individual, duo or family. family is $20 while basic family was $16. is this option gone now?? i don’t rlly use audiobooks so it’s a waste of money for me to get the $20 one. plus i already had the subscription idk why it got taken away.

I was considering starting a family plan with some friends soon, but was wondering the living at a same place strict, or is it alright if they live separately? They all keep their accounts and the only thing that changes is I'd be paying for all of us, right? Thanks ahead of time!

Is it safe to get into a spotify premium plan with unknown people? I came USA for studies, I use spotify a lot so I wanna pay as less as possible so I wanna get into a family plan. I know student plan is only 6USD but fam plan costs even less. My friends don’t care about spotify premium, So I wanna take fam premium with outsiders here. Is it safe? Or should I better go with Student plan?

TIA 🙏🏽

I have a family plan with six people and I just downgraded us to the basic plan (when Spotify was going to automatically renew us for the more expensive premium plan) because it didn’t seem fair that everybody would be paying extra when I’m the only one who would get to listen to audiobooks. Idk if I missed something?

Individual vs family

Besides sharing an account with the family is there a difference? In Premium Individual I was able to listen and download some books but now I just got Premium Family and it’s got this message:

You can't buy audiobooks in the app, but titles you've already purchased through Spotify can be listened to here.

In individual the lock icons weren’t on any of these chapters - what am I doing wrong?

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.

I just got done with a hour long chat with support. I'm trying to switch our Premium Duo plan to a Basic Family Plan so I can add our kids and opt for a plan that doesn't include audio books to save money. After an hour between two people, they told me I can't "downgrade" my account to a Basic Family Plan.

Is anyone else dealing with this bullshit? I've been a premium subscriber for over ten years and I haven't complained even though podcasts and audiobooks have been forced on my subscription while fees continue to rise.

After all my loyalty, this may be the breaking point.

And they also told me there's no way to contact them via phone. I wanted to escalate my request. Does anyone know how to reach support via phonecall?

I subscribed to the family plan a long time ago. However, we still can't listen if there is another device listening. If I have it on my computer, she can't listen on the Alexa's hooked up to the house group. If she is on it in the car, I can't have it on my phone.

If I go to the family plan page it tells me to send an invite, but if I try and use that invite while she is using it on another device it tells me I am already on the plan.

How is this supposed to work?

This plan seems pocket friendly. But my question is, can 6 people living in different locations use this plan? I mean, will the users have to live in the same location or house to use this plan, as it's a 'family' plan?

In some yt vids they were saying that sometimes Spotify checks the users' location.

There are lots of reports recently being automatically kicked out from family plan. I wonder if Spotify is enforcing heavily in cracking down family sharing accounts. We can no longer go back even if we put the correct address on the main spotify account. Do you guys experience this too? Do you know any workaround on how to put the member’s account back to premium?

I have a couple friends that i don't live in the same house with. We want to share a family plan to save money. I only see posts from like 6 years ago saying it works. Does this still work? Can you still do this without consequences?
