Spotify is increasing its costs for its premium members. In several countries, popular music streaming is becoming more and more expensive. Kenyan subscribers are still safe now as the increase in prices will not affect them. However, don’t be that certain as in the future that could change.
The changes have been made primarily in European countries such as the UK and Ireland. The US is also among the countries that have been affected, as TheVerge reports. However, some regions have been involved mainly despite the change due to higher cost rates than others. You can find a precise list of the new prices below.
