The main thing you get with any Premium plan is an entirely ad free experience.

Outside of the “Made for You” personalized playlists chosen by Spotify, you can only listen to playlists, albums, or artists on shuffle. Spotify’s curated playlists like RapCaviar (the hottest rap and hip hop tracks) and Ultimate Indie (the best new and upcoming indie tracks).Release Radar (new tracks from artists you listen to or Spotify thinks you’ll like).Daily Mix (a mix of your favorite tracks and ones you haven’t heard that Spotify thinks you’ll like).Discover Weekly (a weekly selection of tracks Spotify thinks you’ll like).This plan is also a cheaper option for groups of three-to-six university roommates rather than individual student accounts.When using the mobile app with a free account, you can listen to any songs in any order with unlimited track skips as long as it appears on one of the personalized playlists made for you by Spotify’s machine learning algorithms. Therefore, the more sharers you can get on a family plan, the more cost-effective it will be.

If you split this account evenly, at most you’ll be paying £4.99 if you’re in a team of three, and at the least £2.50 in a group of six. Again like Duo, this account is only for people living in the same address – not friends outside of it. Otherwise, Spotify Duo is the more cost-friendly alternative between two people. It’s only worth getting Premium if you’re planning on splitting the account between three or more individuals, or if you desperately want access to Spotify Kids. Spotify Kids is for children up to age 12, and includes an entire library that is family-friendly and free of expletive music. Like Spotify Duo, you get numerous accounts (up to six), an automatic Family Mix with mixed curated tunes as well as access to Spotify Kids. If you’re under a roof with up to five others, then the Premium Family option is by far be the most cost effective Spotify subscription.
