Spotify subscribers face new price hikes starting this month, with Premium jumping to $12.99, Duo to $18.99, and Family to $21.99. Apple Music, still at $10.99 for individuals and $16.99 for families, poked fun on social media with the line: 'BTW, we’re still the same price.' This jab highlights the $2 monthly difference for individuals and $5 for families. Spotify claims the increases fund its 'great experience,' but users are venting frustration online.

Apple Music’s unchanged pricing since October 2022, compared to Spotify’s recent hikes, positions it as a cheaper alternative, especially for families. The service also offers a free three-month trial until February 24th.
