The range of price increases is 2 dollars (about 280 yen) for the standard plan and the duo plan, and 1 dollar (about 140 yen) for the family plan and the student plan.

This price increase applies to Spotify users in the affected countries and territories, and premium subscribers will be notified by email of the price increase and will be subject to the new price unless they cancel before the grace period ends. For users who are using the free trial, the price before the price increase will be applied for one month after the trial ends, but it seems that the new price will be effective after that.
