Ho ricevuto un’e-mail da Spotify oggi, il piano Duo in Irlanda passerà da € 16,99 a € 18,99 (era € 14,99 2 anni fa). Si tratta di un aumento del 26% in soli 2 anni. Capisco che i prezzi salgano, ma questo sembra molto fuori sincronia con l’inflazione effettiva.
La cosa più frustrante è che non si tratta solo di Spotify, sembra che ogni servizio in abbonamento stia silenziosamente aumentando i prezzi anno dopo anno, mentre il prodotto rimane più o meno lo stesso. E allo stesso tempo, senti parlare di queste aziende che si appoggiano maggiormente all’intelligenza artificiale, tagliano i costi (compresi i licenziamenti) e continuano a spingere prezzi di abbonamento più alti: quella combinazione semplicemente non va bene.
Sei curioso di sapere come gli altri stanno affrontando questa situazione: rimani con Spotify, cambi piano o semplicemente riduci del tutto gli abbonamenti?

Move to Tidal.
It’ll be unpopular but I think Spotify is one of the few subscription services that I’d pay more for (please don’t tell them) it’s literally unlimited access to almost every single song, ever – from every artist. Music is something very personal to most people too – the playlists etc. It’s just a GREAT service for the user.
If you’d have told me in the late 90’s when I was using Napster, or going down to HMV to buy a tape album that I’d have this level of access to music for the same price as one album I’d have told you that you were crazy.
It’s making YouTube premium look more attractive. Fiver extra a month and instead of duo I get the whole family (kids are almost old enough now to where that matters) and ad free YouTube. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet though. I still haven’t fully forgiven Google for discontinuing Google play music
Jesus I remember my subscription in 2014 was like €3.99
Delete the app supporting ICE and more US BS
Limewire 👀
I moved to NZ about a year ago. Just got an email to say it’ll be 20.99 NZ dollars..which is about 11 euros
Just subscribe to NTS the London radio station. Free and the best.
I got rid of premium about two months ago and don’t miss it at all. I found i would listen to the generated playlists and was hearing the same songs daily. I cut the subscription and now just select a song off an album I want to hear and let it take the wheel. Have found some cool new bands and songs that way and don’t find the ads too intrusive, honestly.
Revanced app or just do a Jack Sparrow
youtube premium is infinitely better – all the music thats on spotify PLUS the stuff that isnt, any song thats uploaded to youtube can be added to your playlist. ad free youtube is the cherry on top
Apple Music is only 10.99 why aren’t people using it? The audio quality is better and they pay artists more per stream.
Please, if you have any empathy for the people making the music, ditch Spotify for Qobuz, Tidal, or Apple Music.
Spotify is a cancer on creativity.
Imagine paying for music in 2026
They’re just charging too much now. I wait for the Spotify and Apple Music sales and get a month or two here or there with them.
Recently switched to Qobuz and very happy I did. Audio quality is sooo much better and it’s more geared towards albums and has shown me a lot more new music where I found Spotify was giving me the same 50 or so songs over and over again.
You can import you play lists from Spotify easily and it’s also an EU based company that doesn’t invest in Israeli weapons tech.
I’d never go back if only for the audio quality. Spotify just sounds like shite to me now.
Remember CDs those were great
Oh boy. I use the Indian App Store and Apple Music. Get all the same music for 1 euro per month. It’s the most convenient shit ever.
