TL;DR

• Spotify is increasing the US price of Premium Individual from $11.99 to $12.99 per month.
• The new price takes effect from your February billing date, with emails rolling out over the next month.
• The last price hike for US subscribers came in 2024.

American Spotify users dodged the 2025 round of global price hikes, but that was always going to be a temporary reprieve. As sure as night follows day, Spotify is once again asking US subscribers to pay a little more for Premium. From your February billing date, the Individual Premium plan will increase from $11.99 per month to $12.99.

Spotify confirmed the change in a Newsroom post, along with an example of the email landing in subscribers’ inboxes. The company frames the increase as a way to keep delivering “a great experience,” without pointing to any specific new features arriving alongside the higher price. Estonian and Latvian users will also see a price increase.
