What Is Spotify Premium Duo And How Does It Work

What is Spotify Premium Duo?

Spotify Duo is one of Spotify’s Premium subscription plans that can get you Premium and its benefits on up to two Spotify accounts living at the same address. Duo eliminates the need to share the same account and manage playlists.
It brings a lot of value compared to Spotify Individual as the effective price per individual, when shared, comes down by around 40%. All Premium plans give you access to Ad-free music, Offline Listening, Spotify Jam, Unlimited Skips, and more, and the Duo is a great way to listen to music with your partners or friends.

How Much Does Spotify Duo Cost?

Spotify Duo costs $16.99/month and gives two people access to Premium. That’s around $5 less compared to Premium Individual and becomes a no-brainer if you have two people in your family or want to share it with your other friend.
