Notably, Family Sharing does not require all users to live at the same address (though they do need to live in the same country).
You'll need to set up an Apple Family Sharing group to use this plan, which also lets you share other Apple services like purchased App Store apps, iCloud storage, and more. The current price is $14.99/month, which breaks down to the following, depending on the number of people you have: Read more: The Best Music Streaming Services for Audiophiles Apple Music FamilyĪpple Music, one of the biggest competitors to Spotify, offers a family subscription that also supports up to six people.
Most are pretty similar, so the best choice for you may depend on which services or ecosystems you primarily use. Of course, there are other streaming services, like Amazon Music Unlimited and YouTube Music, that also offer family plans. Spotify isn't the only streaming service around, and many others offer shareable family plans as well to keep the cost down. Some of the smartest people in mobile tech will be discussing the challenge of growing app engagement at VentureBeat’s MobileBeat conference in San Francisco July 13-14.
It depends on the App Store for many of its app users, so it’s not likely that Spotify will remove its iOS app from the App Store any time soon. The reality is that Spotify can’t complain too loudly. Like most services, Spotify offers a free tier - by far its most popular service. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice are said to be looking closely at Apple’s efforts to persuade record labels not to license their music for free music service tiers. Competing services have argued that Apple is using the market power of its App Store to unfairly pump up the price of competing services via the 30 percent tax. Apple, of course, just launched its own service, Apple Music, at $10 a month. Ten dollars a month has become the de facto cost per month for a streaming music subscription. Spotify even provides a step-by-step guide for users who wish to discontinue their subscription in the iOS app, and start it up again through Spotify directly, thus saving three bucks a month. “In case you didn’t know, the normal Premium price is only $9.99, but Apple charges 30 percent on all payments made through iTunes,” the email reads. “You can get the exact same Spotify for only $9.99/month, and it’s super simple.” The message went out in an email blast Wednesday.
If you buy a Spotify subscription through the Spotify iOS app it’ll cost you $13, but only $10 if you buy it at the Spotify website. Actually, this option has existed for a long time, but Spotify is just now trumpeting it as a public shot against Apple.
