Different Spotify subscriptions: Premium comparison (Individual, Duo, Family, Student) + prices in France

Are you looking for a clear comparison of the different Spotify subscriptions (including Spotify Duo and Spotify Family prices )? Spotify offers four main Premium plans, each designed for a specific use: solo, duo, family/household, or student.

In this guide, you will find:

• Spotify Premium plans (Individual, Duo, Family, Student)
• Spotify prices in France (2026 benchmarks)
• what you gain vs. free Spotify (no ads, offline, etc.)
• who can register (Duo/Family conditions)
• and how to choose (or pay less without doing it yourself)

1) Is Spotify free? Yes—but Premium really changes the experience.

Spotify is available in a free version (with ads and certain limitations) and a Premium version (without ads + advanced features).

If you listen often, Premium quickly pays for itself because you earn:

• no ads
• smoother reading
• and, as usual, offline listening and more control over playback (depending on platform and options).

2) The different Spotify Premium subscriptions (official plans)

A) Premium Individual (1 person)

For solo use: one Premium account.

• Spotify France price (reference): €12.14/month (see Premium France page)

👉 Choose this option if you are alone and do not need to manage multiple accounts.

B) Premium Duo (2 people) — Spotify Duo subscription price

Premium Duo is designed for two people living at the same address, with two separate Premium accounts (each with their own playlists, recommendations, and history).

• Duo price (France): €17.20/month
• Condition: cohabitation (same address)

👉 Choose this option if you are in a couple/shared living situation (same address) and want two Premium accounts without paying for two Individual accounts.

C) Premium Family (up to 6 people) — “Spotify Family”

Spotify Family is designed for up to 6 Premium accounts for people living at the same address.

• Family Price (France): €21.24/month
• Included: up to 6 Premium accounts
• Condition: same address

👉 This is often the best price per person when there are three or more regular users.

D) Premium Student (1 person, reduced rate)

For eligible students (with verification and periodic renewal).

• Student price (France): €7.07/month
• Duration: student discount available for up to 4 years max, with regular validation

👉 If you are an eligible student, this is usually the best "solo" deal.

3) Which Spotify subscription should you choose? (mini decision tree)

• You are single → Individual (or Student if eligible)
• There are two of you and you live together → Duo
• There are 3 to 6 of you and you live together → Family
• Looking for the lowest price → Student (if eligible), otherwise Duo/Family if you meet the requirements

4) How much does Spotify cost? Price summary (France)

Benchmarks displayed on Spotify France:

• Individual: $12.14/month
• Duo: $17.20/month
• Family: €21.24/month
• Student: $7.07/month

Prices may vary depending on the country and time period. Spotify has already implemented price increases in recent years, so if you are comparing an older article, always refer to the official Spotify page for your country.

5) How to pay less for Spotify (without scams)

If you are searching for "free Spotify Premium" or "cheap Spotify subscription," it is best to avoid cracks/APKs and stick to legitimate solutions:

1. Choose the right plan: Duo/Family can split the cost if there are several of you living at the same address.
2. Student if you are eligible
3. Promotions: Spotify sometimes offers free trials/months depending on eligibility (visible on the Premium page).

“Spliiit goal” bonus

When you have multiple subscriptions (Spotify + Netflix + Disney+ + others), the real savings often come from spreading the costs across multiple users (when the offer allows it), rather than everyone paying on their own. Spliiit is designed to organize this (payments, tracking, framework).
