Part 1. What Comes with Spotify Family Plan

Spotify Premium Family is an upgraded version of Spotify Premium Individual. With it, up to six people can enjoy all the features of Spotify Premium Individual, each of whom gets a separate Premium account.

A family member can invite other family members to join by signing up for a family plan account. With the Family Plan, you'll be able to download Spotify music for offline listening, enjoy ad-free music, an uninterrupted quality experience, and unlimited skips.

Now let's look at the shining benefits of Spotify Family.

• Family Spotify offers discounted pricing compared to six individual subscriptions.
• Up to six family members can have their own premium account.
• Parents can set explicit content filters and control what content their children can access in the Spotify Kids app.
• There is an automatic Family Mix playlist, showing tracks what each member listens to.
• Stream Spotify music ad-free for a seamless, uninterrupted listening experience.
• Download albums, playlists and podcasts on Spotify for offline listening.
• Stream Spotify music with high-quality audio.
• Enjoy personalized recommendations based on your music preferences.

Part 2. How Much Is Spotify Premium Family

The Spotify Family Plan costs $16.99 per month and allows up to 6 family members to enjoy all the benefits of a premium subscription. It's significantly less than the cost of six individual premium subscriptions, which cost $65.94 per month.

Additionally, Spotify is offering a one-month free trial to new subscribers. If you've never subscribed to any Spotify Premium plan before, you can get a 30-day free trial when you sign up for Family. If you think the Family Plan isn't right for you, you can cancel the Spotify Premium plan before the end of the first 30 days. If you do not cancel, you will be automatically charged $16.99/month after the 30 days.

Note that if you only plan to use the premium plan with two family members, then you are better off opting for the Spotify Duo Premium plan. The plan costs $14.99 per month and offers two premium accounts. But for more than two users, the family plan is the best option.

Here's the price and what you can get from each Spotify Premium tier. Hope this helps you know which plan to choose.

Note that you can only invite people who live at the same address as you.
