• Spotifys new Basic plan costs $10.99 each month.
• It offers ad-free, unlimited music listening and podcast access, with no audiobook access.
• Previously, this is what Spotify Premium offered, so this is really just a return to the old Premium plan.

At the beginning of this month, Spotify increased the price of its Premium plan by $1.00, going from $10.99 monthly to $11.99 monthly. The main reason for this price jump was the recent introduction of audiobook support on the platform. With the “newâ⠂¬Â Premium plan, you get 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month.

The problem is that users who dont care about audiobooks suddenly are paying more for a service they dont use. Well, Spotify is now offering a solution in the United States with its new Spotify Basic plan. The Basic plan costs $10.99 each month and only includes music and podcasts.
