Spotify Premium Family Plan: How Much Does It Cost?
If you’re planning to get Spotify Premium, the platform has a handful of plans to choose from. One of them is the Family Plan, where you can spend a bit more than the individual plan and get Spotify running on multiple phones. A family plan can save you a lot of money, so here’s how a Spotify Family Plan works, what it offers, and how much it costs.
What is Spotify Premium Family Plan?
Spotify Family Plan is one of the subscriptions available inside Spotify’s Premium tier. It allows up to six separate individual accounts living at the same address access to Spotify Premium’s perks.
It’s great value for money at around 40% extra cost than the individual plan. Some of these perks includeOffline music, Ad-free music,Spotify Jam, unlimited skips, and Parental controls to filter out music for other accounts.
Spotify Family Plan is a great way to share Premium among friends, even if they don’t live at the same address. Spotify asks and verifies the address when users click on the invitation, and doesn’t track their location.
The plan also gives you access to another app called Spotify Kids, which is for children and allows you to filter out explicit music.
How Much Does This Premium Plan Cost?
The Spotify Family Plan costs$19.99/monthand can accommodate a total of six people, a whopping $8 less compared to the individual plan.
Hence, if you have family members or friends who’d like to subscribe to Premium, Spotify’s Family Plan is the way to go as it essentially brings the pricedown to $3.33/month per individual! You can check the features and costs of other plans in our dedicatedSpotify Premium Planspost.

What are your thoughts on Spotify Family Plan and Spotify as a music streaming platform in general? Let us know in the comments.
While Spotify says that all participants should reside under one roof, the platform doesn’t track your location. Hence, you could invite your distant friends, but they’d need to enter the same address as the plan manager’s while accepting the invite.
Yes, you can join the Family plan if you already have a Premium account. All your playlists and likes won’t go anywhere.
It doesn’t. Spotify doesn’t track your location, meaning as long as the people you’ve invited enter the same address as you entered when subscribing to Family, they can be a part of the plan.
While there’s no difference between the two plans feature-wise, the 6-member provides incredible value for money if you can split between multiple people. Having six people on the plan could effectively bring the cost per head down to $3.33/month, compared to $12/month for Premium Individual.
