Spotify Duo now in India and 54 other markets
Spotify is expanding the availability of Spotify Duo — a subscription built for two people, usually couples — to 55 new markets including India, it said Wednesday. Spotify Duo will cost Rs. 149 per month in India, $13 (about Rs. 980) in the US, and £13 (about Rs. 1,220) in the UK. If you haven't used Spotify in the past, you'll get a free month of Spotify Duo. And if you have tried Spotify previously, you can easily switch to Duo on Spotify.com under the “” section. A Spotify Duo subscription grants you access to the exclusive “Duo Mix” playlist, made with music tastes that suit both s.
“Today, we are proud to launch Spotify Duo, a first of its kind audio offering for just two people in the same household,” Spotify's chief freemium business officer Alex Norström said in a prepared statement. “ Duo includes our extensive music and podcast catalogue and everything s love about Spotify . With two individual s, you can both listen independently, uninterrupted and get all of your personalised playlists and features tailored just for you. We are thrilled to bring this unique Spotify plan to even more markets around the world.”
In its announcement, Spotify claimed 73 percent of couples said they listen to music together to recall happy memories, and 63 percent said they listen to music together to build their identity or create memorable moments, according to a study it conducted. A subscription-for-two is unique to Spotify, with all other music streaming competitors only offering family plans. Naturally, Spotify Duo is more affordable. Spotify Family costs Rs. 179 per month in India, $15 (about Rs. 1,130) in the US, and £15 (about Rs. 1,400) in the UK.
Previously available in three-month free trials and heavily-discounted annual plans.
Spotify Duo is now available in India at Rs. 149 per month. It offers access to 50 million songs and over a million podcasts. Head over to spotify.com/duo to get started.
