It also comes with a host of parental control options and Spotify Kids, a separate app aimed at children. Those with loved ones who also want to stream music may be more interested in the Spotify Family plan, which lets you have up to six people on one account. Just make sure you re-register as a student after a year, or Spotify will strip you of the Hulu membership and start charging you the full Premium membership price. It also comes with an ad-based Hulu subscription and Showtime. If you’re a student (you need a valid student email address), you can get a Spotify Premium subscription called Student for a discount price. Cost-wise, it’s basically two accounts for $6.50 per month each, with cute sharing features for couples and best friends. With Spotify Duo, you can share your Spotify subscription with a friend, family member, or partner “under one roof.” Both users get their own Spotify dashboards, along with features such as collaborative playlists that you and a bunch of friends can add to and edit, plus Blend, a playlist that’s a combination of collaborative playlists and Spotify’s personalization that automatically “blends” together each user’s (up to 10) musical tastes in a shareable playlist. You also get a month for free when you subscribe for the first time.

As a Premium user, you can save tracks and podcasts for offline listening, which is ideal for travelers and people using Spotify during their commute. Those willing to part with a little cash can access a host of top-tier features, including more than 82 million ad-free tracks, plus the ability to download your music directly to a device and get higher streaming quality.

While the free service is more than enough for casual listeners, more regular listeners may get annoyed with the constant ads, limited shuffles, and slightly lower sound quality. Core search and play features are available, including the ability to listen to specific tracks on demand, replay recent albums, subscribe to podcasts, and more. With Spotify Free, you can listen to anything you want in the mobile, web, or desktop Spotify app, as well as on smart TVs and compatible game consoles, as long as you’re willing to put up with ads.
