Until recently, Spotify's family membership options would set you back an extra $5 per person, for up to four additional accounts. In May, Spotify made a major change to its family membership plans, making it much more affordable.
With the new setup, Spotify Family Membership accounts are now only $15 and you can have a total of six individual accounts charged to a single member. This puts Spotify in the same price range as Google Play Music and Apple Music.
The family plan includes all the standard premium features, including offline listening and ad-free listening. With the family plan, each account can create their own playlists and get personal recommendations.
If you're already on the family plan, you should have been automatically switched to the new paid plan. If you're not, here's how you do it.
Using a browser, go to spotify.com/family While logged in to your Spotify account and click the “Get Started” button. After entering your payment information, you can invite another five people to your Spotify account. All you need to do is the email address they use with Spotify.
After the initial setup, you can add and remove users by going to spotify.com/account . You will find “Manage your family accounts” And from there you can add or remove users.
Family members must reside at the same address. If a family member already has a premium account, they will no longer be charged once they accept an invitation to a family membership.
