Spotify is always working towards bringing new plans and features to the platform. The biggest music streaming site has now come out with a new subscription of 99 cents per month. This plan will have ads and allow the users to skip unlimitedly and play their chosen tracks.
The new tier is named Spotify Plus and it is shown to the free Spotify users, reports The Verge. In the current free tier with ads, users are able to play the songs on shuffle. They are allowed to skip a maximum of six times per hour.
The Spotify free plan will be placed between the premium and the free subscriptions. The premium package costs $9.99 per month. It is totally ad-free and allows the users to skip unlimitedly. A Spotify representative has said that the new Spotify plan is in the testing position right now. The Swedish company is now testing with a limited number of users. And they have a lot of price points and one of them is the 99 c3nd per month plan.
Another representative said that they are continuously working to improve user experience on Spotify. They regularly do tests to inform their decisions. They are now testing a new ad-supported plan with some of their users. Not all tests end up being on the platforms. Some make new changes enhancing the services and some only end up offering learning experiences.
Spotify is well-known for testing new features. All the features are not always included on the platform. Previously in 2017, Spotify tested a new subscription plan named Spotify HiFi. It was for the premium users on the platforms.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is always testing new features for the platform before making them available for worldwide users.
The Spotify HiFi service is supposed to be of ‘CD-quality, lossless audio format music’. The premium users will have to pay an additional $5 to $10 per month. Spotify was supposed to launch the high-end audio service this year. But it still the service has not appeared on the site.
