Spotify is now reportedly testing out a new, more affordable plan with premium features, dubbed Spotify Plus. The cost of the plan, for now, is just a penny short of one dollar per month. And that nets some fairly significant benefits.
\nAt that price, users effectively get the two biggest features of the Spotify Premium plan. Namely, the ability to skip songs at will and to play any track hosted by Spotify. The latter feature is a given and fairly self-explanatory. Effectively making Spotify work like any premium streaming service. The former lets users skip tracks they don\u2019t like as much as they want. On the free plan, users can only skip six songs per hour.
\nWhat\u2019s less clear is whether or not the new service will offer other Premium plan benefits. Such as offline playback via downloads or higher-quality audio available on the Premium tier.
\nWhat\u2019s the catch that makes Spotify Plus so affordable?
\nThe biggest drawback to the new plan is that it will still be ad-supported. Meaning that users are still going to need to sit through advertisements every so often to keep playback going. In other apps, that\u2019s typically only the case for non-paid users.
\nThe exact nature of the ads and other details about how often they\u2019ll appear, conversely, have not been revealed. So it is entirely possible that they won\u2019t appear as frequently or that they\u2019ll take a different form than audio ads. But that remains to be seen and it remains to be seen whether end-users will go along with that.
\nTesting is limited so don\u2019t expect to see this soon
\nNow, Spotify has reached out to the source to clarify that its testing of the affordable new Spotify Plus is only available to a \u201climited number\u201d of users. That could mean that it won\u2019t ever be added for the wider user base. Ultimately, that\u2019s going to depend on how well Spotify Plus does in testing. And likely will also depend on whether or not users on the company\u2019s free tier ever step up to try out the new offering.
\nAs stated by Spotify, the test may end up simply informing the company with regard to future plans. That\u2019s as opposed to being officially released in its current form.
\nIf and when it does arrive, it may also not be quite so affordable. The top-rated tier of Spotify\u2019s service currently costs $9.99 as of this writing. That\u2019s $9 more than the Spotify Plus service. So it isn\u2019t unlikely that the company will settle on a different price if and when it does launch.<\/p>\n
