Whether you opt for Spotify Free, take advantage of discounts, or share a family plan, these tips will help you save 75% off your Spotify subscription, making music accessible to all.

1. Spotify Free: No-Cost Listening with Some Limitations

The Spotify Free version allows you to access a wide range of music and podcasts without paying a penny. However, keep in mind the following limitations:

• Listening will be interrupted by advertisements.

• Offline music downloads are not available; only podcasts can be downloaded.

• On mobile, you can only listen on 'shuffle' mode within albums or playlists, and you're limited to six track skips per hour.

2. Spotify Premium: Alternatives to Full-Price Subscription

Spotify Premium offers an ad-free experience with offline music downloads and unlimited track skips. However, the cost increase to £10.99 a month might deter some users. Consider these alternatives:

3. Spotify Student Subscription: 50% Off for Four Years

Students can enjoy a 50% discount on the Spotify Premium subscription, reducing the price to £4.99 per month. This offer is valid for four years, making it a great option for students on a tight budget.

4. Spotify Family Subscription: Sharing and Savings

Not many people are aware of the Spotify Family Subscription, which allows you to add five more individual accounts, totaling six accounts in one plan. Each account maintains its library, eliminating the hassle of sharing music choices. This subscription costs £16.99, translating to just £2.83 per person per month – a massive saving of 74% per person.

5. Mobile Phone Contracts with 'Free' Spotify Premium

Keep an eye out for mobile phone contracts that include a 'free' Spotify Premium subscription as part of the package. Vodafone, for example, occasionally offers subscriptions to Spotify Premium (or other services like Amazon Prime or YouTube Premium) for 'free' when you sign up for a Vodafone Entertainment* plan. While considering these deals, remember that they are only valuable if the mobile contract aligns with your needs and preferences.
