Spotify, a digital music, podcast, and video streaming service that provides users with access to millions of songs and other content made by creators worldwide, has extended the free trial period for its premium service to three months.

Spotify made the announcement in a blog post on Monday. It said that eligible free users and people signing up for Spotify for the first time can now get a free three-month trial of its Premium plan. “Spotify Premium is giving free and first-time users three months of the Individual Premium plan for free.” It implies that users can now enjoy Spotify Premium for those periods before beginning their premium membership.

Spotify Premium Service

Spotify is the most downloaded music app, and its premium subscription makes it even better by getting rid of ads and letting users save songs to listen to when they don’t have access to the internet. 

Those who are using Spotify for the first time and those who are using Spotify without paying can receive three months of Spotify Premium for as little as $0. Up until September 11, 2022. Also, they are hoping to win back former premium subscribers and bring in new ones with the help of an extended free trial. Those who cancel their Spotify Premium subscription before July 15, 2022, will be eligible to purchase a three-month subscription for the low price of $9.99, which is around $3.33 per month. (or an equal price in your local market).

What to Know About Spotify Premium

Users can terminate their three-month trial at any time. If they do not, it will automatically convert to a standard Spotify Premium account that costs £9.99 per month.

However, the promotion is only valid for the Individual and Student plans, so users interested in subscribing to the Duo or Family plans—which provide a discount when multiple Premium accounts are purchased together—can not take advantage of the new offer.

Suppose you’re undecided about upgrading to Spotify’s subscription plan. In that case, you might find it helpful to know that doing so eliminates the regular unpleasant commercials on the free version of the service. Additionally, suppose you have a premium subscription. In that case, you will be able to download music to listen to offline, you will have access to the platform’s entire catalogue of artists and albums, and you will be able to skip tracks as frequently as you like.

On Spotify’s New Reaction Feature 

A screenshot posted by a Reddit user shows that the company is working on new features to let users record their reactions while listening to a playlist.

In a similar way, Techviral said that the company first tested the same features with users in New Zealand. The new one for the playlist is also being tested in Vietnam.

Also, users can change their recorded voice, background music, and clip before posting it, and it’s unclear who can listen to these reactions. Aside from that, to record these reactions, users need to have obeyed some guidelines, such as “no hate speech.”

Spotify Premium Availability

In all 135 countries and regions across the world where Spotify is made available, the discounted price for returning subscribers and the free trial of three months of Spotify Premium are both available. With the subscription, you can listen to over 4 million podcasts and 80 million songs without ads. Customers who pay for a premium subscription can use some extra features, such as better integration with the Apple Watch, offline playback, and the ability to skip songs as often as they want.

Observations

Even while the economy is showing signs of decline, Spotify’s customer base is still growing, which led to the launch of the music platform’s premium offering. The company has reported that more than 180 million people signed up for premium services in 2022 alone.

Users in every part of the world are looking for ways to save money wherever possible. Because of this, there will likely be a rise in entertainment platforms offering extended free trials and discounts like the one offered here to attract new members and persuade current members to keep paying.
