Recently, Spotify made an announcement regarding the increment of subscription prices in several international markets. Initially, Malaysia seemed to have evaded the price hike, but the latest update reveals that the country is now included in the revised pricing. As a result, all premium subscription prices have seen an increase, with the exception of the Mini plan.

Initially, countries such as Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and the UAE were exempt from the price hike. However, they have now been included in the list of countries set to receive the price adjustment.
The price adjustment is driven by the company's dedication to improving its product offerings and features while also generating increased revenue. The additional funds obtained from the price hike will be reinvested into the platform to foster further innovation, ensuring users receive the best possible music streaming experience.
What Is The Price Difference?
At the moment, Malaysians will be seeing a price hike between RM1-RM1.70 for Spotify Premium starting in the September billing cycle.

Here&rsquo;s the new pricing:
<ul>
<li>Spotify Mini (Mobile Only) &ndash; RM0.75/day.</li>
<li>Student Plan (1 Account) &ndash; RM8.50/ month.</li>
<li>Individual Premium Plan (1 Account) &ndash; RM15.90/ month.</li>
<li>Duo Premium Plan (2 Accounts) &ndash; RM21.50/ month.</li>
<li>Family Premium Plan (6 Accounts) &ndash; RM24.90/ month.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The revised pricing has already been implemented for new subscribers. However, existing Premium Family subscribers can breathe easy for the time being, as the price adjustment will not take effect immediately. They will continue to pay the current rate of RM23.80 until the revision takes place in September.
It's worth noting that the Mini Plan, despite its cost of RM0.75/day or RM2.90/weekly, offers significant savings of up to RM40 per year on your music plan. Nevertheless, users should be aware that they will be restricted to downloading up to 30 songs at a time for offline play.

Meanwhile, rumours of Spotify higher-quality HiFi streaming option has not been spotted on the premium tier. It&rsquo;s said that the HiFi Audio is meant to offer higher lossless audio streaming quality.
Well it looks like we&rsquo;ll have to fork out extra now. But RM1 is not too bad of a hike as it looks like most countries have used a 1-1 ratio style for their price hike. To say the least, if you&rsquo;re an avid music listener then it&rsquo;s still not too bad.
