What Duo and Family really cost per person
- Duo at £17.99 is £9.00 each if both accounts are used.
- Family at £21.99 is about £3.67 each if all six accounts are used, or about £7.33 each with three people.
Family only works well if you really do have several people at one address who will use it. Spotify requires members to share a household address.
Ways to pay less
- Use Student if you qualify. At £5.99 it is the cheapest official paid plan.
- Pick Family over Duo if there are three or more of you.
- Switch to a lower tier without audiobooks if Spotify offers it on your account. Check your account page, as availability changes.
- Use a private account from Subscriptions For Less. Our plans run from £7 to £18 a month across Netflix and Spotify, at up to 60% less than official pricing depending on the plan. See the plan page for the exact price of each plan.
