If you're playing something on the web player and someone opens the Android app, it's going to ask you if you want to stop listening on the web and start listening on Android. Now people can share Netflix and HBO subscriptions all the livelong day, but you can't do that with Spotify, even Spotify Premium. Spotify Student ($4.99/month) Spotify Premium for Family Spotify Student is one of Spotify's crown jewels, as many, many, many Student users are willing to be bumped to Premium accounts once they lose the discount because they get hooked on Spotify's library and features. Spotify Student does eventually run out, and if you're not attentive to Spotify's emails and notifications, you could be bumped to a Spotify Premium plan without a chance to cancel or extend your student pricing.You can be asked to re-verify your student status whenever Spotify asks, and if you can't, you'll lose the Hulu subscription and be bumped up to a regular Spotify Premium account.The Spotify Student subscription is ad-free, but the Hulu subscription is not, as it's the "Limited Commercials" subscription, such as the one you'd get for $7.99 as a non-student.Congrats! Here are some things to keep in mind: If you can prove you're a college student, you can enroll in Spotify Student, which now gives you access to both Spotify Premium and Hulu for $4.99 a month.

This plan is also a cheaper option for groups of three-to-six university roommates rather than individual student accounts.Spotify Premium ($9.99/month) Spotify Student Therefore, the more sharers you can get on a family plan, the more cost-effective it will be. If you split this account evenly, at most you’ll be paying £4.99 if you’re in a team of three, and at the least £2.50 in a group of six. Again like Duo, this account is only for people living in the same address – not friends outside of it. Otherwise, Spotify Duo is the more cost-friendly alternative between two people.


It’s only worth getting Premium if you’re planning on splitting the account between three or more individuals, or if you desperately want access to Spotify Kids.

Spotify Kids is for children up to age 12, and includes an entire library that is family-friendly and free of expletive music. Like Spotify Duo, you get numerous accounts (up to six), an automatic Family Mix with mixed curated tunes as well as access to Spotify Kids. If you’re under a roof with up to five others, then the Premium Family option is by far be the most cost effective Spotify subscription.
