For private customers, the subscription starts with a free one-month trial, then increases to €11.12 per month. If you’re a student, you can get Spotify Premium Students for €6.06 a month, after verification of your status via SheerID, for up to four years.

Benefits of Spotify Premium
Spotify Premium is like switching from radio to a personalized vinyl collection. First, no more commercial interruptions. You can listen to your favorite tunes without being interrupted by annoying announcements. Then there’s the audio quality: 320 kbps is what we call “extreme quality”. You’ll hear every note, every nuance, as if you were in the studio with the artist.
Another big advantage is the ability to download your songs for offline listening. Imagine, you’re on a plane or in the subway without a signal, and yet your playlist is there, ready to accompany you. You can download up to 3,333 tracks to three different devices. Practical, isn’t it?
And then there’s total control over your music. You choose what you want to listen to, when you want to listen to it. No random mode imposed. You can switch between songs, create custom playlists, and even enjoy artist exclusives.
Free trials and promotions
Spotify regularly offers free trials and promotions to attract new users. In general, you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial, but there are also special offers for 60 days, 3 months or even 6 months. These promotions are an excellent opportunity to try out all the features of Spotify Premium without spending a cent.
To take advantage of these trials, simply register and provide your payment details. Remember to cancel before the end of the trial period if you don’t want to continue with the paid subscription. Otherwise, automatic renewal will be triggered. You will not be reimbursed for partially used months, so be careful.
These offers are often limited in time and cannot be combined with other promotions. What’s more, they are only available once per user. Be sure to read the specific conditions of each promotion to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Payment methods for Spotify Premium
There are several options for paying for your Spotify Premium subscription, but they may vary according to your country or region. In general, you’ll see the payment methods available based on your location when you sign up or manage your subscription.
Common methods include credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and sometimes even Spotify prepaid cards that you can buy in-store. In some countries, you can also use mobile payment services such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, or local solutions such as iDEAL in the Netherlands or Sofort in Germany.
Once you have chosen your payment method, simply fill in the necessary information and confirm. Payment is then made automatically each month, unless you decide to cancel your subscription before the renewal date.
If you’re having problems, or if your preferred payment method isn’t available, check the options specific to your region on the Spotify help page. You’ll find solutions tailored to your situation.
