Spotify continues to be a model for the music streaming industry. With 138 million paid subscribers, Spotify is a leading global music service. Spotify has taken many initiatives to promote itself and increase its revenues. To attract more people to the service, apparently hoping to upgrade to the paid plan, Spotify introduced a new free tier in April. Although the service has been around for more than a decade, there are things about Spotify that most users didn’t know.
Prior to launch, Spotify offered two-tier: an ad-free tier for $ 9.99 a month and a free tier with ads. The first allows you to download songs to listen to them offline and does not restrict access. The latter limits the number of songs you can access, popular playlists, and shuffle play. As part of Spotify’s new free tier, you can listen to any track from Discovery’s 15 playlists if you wish.
Spotify also offers other subscription plans like student accounts, family accounts, and Spotify Duo (for two at a reduced price). Each level is available with others on the market at competitive prices. However, if you’re ready to start saving money each month, it might be time to cancel your subscription.
This article shows you how to cancel your Spotify Premium account.
Things to Know Before Canceling The Subscription
If you are a Spotify Premium customer, you need to cancel your Spotify subscription before closing your account. This will remove all the playlists you have downloaded for offline listening and also the followers. You are not the owner of this music and once you unsubscribe you will lose these locally stored playlists.
