Spotify prices are expected to keep increasing.

Spotify will raise prices, as it is a normal business practice, according to Co-President and Chief Business Officer Alex Norström in August 2025.

Norström stated that the price increases would be accompanied by new features and services, which are currently unknown. Given Spotify's focus on AI, these additions could relate to projects like its AI DJ, which launched two years ago.

Spotify's growth remains strong. Last month, the platform reported a 12% year-over-year increase in subscribers, reaching 276 million, and monthly active users rose 11% to 696 million, surpassing expectations. Norström anticipates the streamer will soon exceed 1 billion users.

Spotify also revealed that users have created nearly 9 billion playlists and recently introduced tools for customizing transitions between songs. The company aims to encourage users to build playlists and spend more time in the app, particularly as AI-driven content expands in the music space.

Additionally, Spotify has been developing a "superfan" subscription, a premium tier that could cost an extra $6 per month for dedicated fans, demonstrating the company's continued efforts to monetize its most engaged users.

Spotify is not alone in raising prices. Peacock and Apple TV+ have also recently increased their rates, reflecting a broader trend of rising subscription costs.
