Spotify launches family package as music streaming competition heats up
Competition is continuing to intensify in the music streaming industry as Spotify prepares to roll out a family package that will allow up to four people to share one billing account and keep playlists separate.
Spotify Family will launch globally over the coming weeks in what the Swedish-based firm said was one of the “most asked-for” features by users.
The addition of a family member on an existing account will cost $17.99, rising to $23.99 for two members, $29.99 for three and $35.99 for four additional members. Paid for packages on the site are ad-free.
The listening history, recommendations and playlists will be kept separate for each family member.
Slight correction for para 1: each account can be shared by up to five people (original owner can add four others).
