Spotify is testing a cheaper streaming plan with fewer restrictions, though it’s still subsidised by advertisements.
Spotify is testing a new low-cost subscription tier supported by advertisements, dubbed “Spotify Plus”. The subscription tier is described as having “unlimited skips and on-demand listening”, while still incorporating advertisements like what is seen on the company’s free subscription tier. Currently, Spotify’s free tier doesn’t let users skip more than six tracks per hour. Users can also only listen to specific tracks from 15 selected playlists, from editorial-selected playlists to algorithmically generated playlists like your “Discovery Weekly” and your “Daily Mix” playlists.
