First three month subscription free on Spotify

Spotify announced the first three months of Spotify premium for free, full details are below.

Spotify earlier offered just 30-days trial to new users. Spotify Thursday announced extending Spotify Premium free trial period from 30 days to three months.

This is the first time Spotify is offering a three-month free offer to users in India.

Spotify Premium brings a host of special features. Spotify feature also included a handy checklist of all the features you’ll gain access to when you sign up for Premium, such as unlimited access to every song, playlist, and 450,000 podcast on the service, the ability to download thousands of songs on to your device, the option to switch audio between devices, and the elimination of ads. Spotify Premium subscribers can favourite songs by clicking on the heart icon. The liked songs are automatically downloaded to users’ device and pinned to the top of the Playlists.

This first 3 months free offer is being rolled out across Spotify Premium plans globally including individual and student plans starting today. The company plans to extend the benefit to Family and Duo users in the coming months.

“Music and podcasts play an important role in people’s lives so we wanted to give users the first 3 months for free to fully enjoy everything that Spotify Premium has to offer. We know it takes time to fully experience all of the features available with Premium, so we’re giving people the time that they need to fall in love with Premium’s seamless listening experience and on-demand access to more than 50 million tracks, billions of playlists and 450,000 podcast titles for free,” 

-Spotify Chief Premium Business Officer Alex Norstrom said in a release.

In a news post on Thursday, Spotify announced that it has tripled its free trial to match Apple Music, giving new users 90 days to try out the service before asking them to pay for Premium. You are only eligible if you haven’t signed up for a Spotify Premium trial before, but this is not a limited-time deal. The new three-month free trial of Spotify Premium is now available worldwide for individual and student plans. Spotify says that Duo and Family plan users will be able to take advantage of the trial in the coming months as well. Once the trial ends, the price for a Premium subscription is still $9.99 a month. Spotify Premium is available in India at a starting price of Rs 119 per month. Users can also get pre-paid plans starting as low as Rs 13 a day to Rs 1,189 per year.

Spotify’s latest plan comes almost six months after its foray into the Indian market. The company, which competes with the likes of JioSaavn and Apple Music, has 232 million monthly active users and 108 million premium subscribers globally. Spotify remains the biggest music streaming service on the planet, but, at least in the United States, Apple Music is hot on its tail. Conversion rates were subsequently much higher for Apple Music, but Spotify is finally ready to fight fire with fire.
