Ich habe heute eine E-Mail von Spotify erhalten, dass der Duo-Plan in Irland von 16,99 € auf 18,99 € steigt (vor 2 Jahren waren es 14,99 €). Das entspricht einer Steigerung von etwa 26 % in nur zwei Jahren. Ich verstehe, dass die Preise steigen, aber das scheint nicht mit der tatsächlichen Inflation übereinzustimmen.
Was noch frustrierender ist, ist, dass es sich nicht nur um Spotify handelt, sondern dass es sich so anfühlt, als würde jeder Abonnementdienst Jahr für Jahr stillschweigend die Preise erhöhen, während das Produkt mehr oder weniger gleich bleibt. Und gleichzeitig hört man, dass diese Unternehmen sich stärker auf KI konzentrieren, Kosten senken (einschließlich Entlassungen) und immer noch höhere Abonnementpreise durchsetzen – diese Kombination passt einfach nicht.
Neugierig, wie andere damit umgehen – bleiben Sie bei Spotify, wechseln den Plan oder kürzen Sie einfach Ihre Abonnements ganz?

Move to Tidal.
It’ll be unpopular but I think Spotify is one of the few subscription services that I’d pay more for (please don’t tell them) it’s literally unlimited access to almost every single song, ever – from every artist. Music is something very personal to most people too – the playlists etc. It’s just a GREAT service for the user.
If you’d have told me in the late 90’s when I was using Napster, or going down to HMV to buy a tape album that I’d have this level of access to music for the same price as one album I’d have told you that you were crazy.
It’s making YouTube premium look more attractive. Fiver extra a month and instead of duo I get the whole family (kids are almost old enough now to where that matters) and ad free YouTube. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet though. I still haven’t fully forgiven Google for discontinuing Google play music
Jesus I remember my subscription in 2014 was like €3.99
Delete the app supporting ICE and more US BS
Limewire 👀
I moved to NZ about a year ago. Just got an email to say it’ll be 20.99 NZ dollars..which is about 11 euros
Just subscribe to NTS the London radio station. Free and the best.
I got rid of premium about two months ago and don’t miss it at all. I found i would listen to the generated playlists and was hearing the same songs daily. I cut the subscription and now just select a song off an album I want to hear and let it take the wheel. Have found some cool new bands and songs that way and don’t find the ads too intrusive, honestly.
Revanced app or just do a Jack Sparrow
youtube premium is infinitely better – all the music thats on spotify PLUS the stuff that isnt, any song thats uploaded to youtube can be added to your playlist. ad free youtube is the cherry on top
Apple Music is only 10.99 why aren’t people using it? The audio quality is better and they pay artists more per stream.
Please, if you have any empathy for the people making the music, ditch Spotify for Qobuz, Tidal, or Apple Music.
Spotify is a cancer on creativity.
Imagine paying for music in 2026
They’re just charging too much now. I wait for the Spotify and Apple Music sales and get a month or two here or there with them.
Recently switched to Qobuz and very happy I did. Audio quality is sooo much better and it’s more geared towards albums and has shown me a lot more new music where I found Spotify was giving me the same 50 or so songs over and over again.
You can import you play lists from Spotify easily and it’s also an EU based company that doesn’t invest in Israeli weapons tech.
I’d never go back if only for the audio quality. Spotify just sounds like shite to me now.
Remember CDs those were great
Oh boy. I use the Indian App Store and Apple Music. Get all the same music for 1 euro per month. It’s the most convenient shit ever.
You know you can buy music rather than rent it. Like its pretty cheap.
Yeahh, that’s me done. I was already considering it anyway. Don’t use it as much as I used to. Might’ve actually just kept it if not for this though (because lazy, and nice to have on occasion). What a shame. That’s stupid and unreasonable imo, considering how many artists the average person listens to.
Me who uses YouTube with AdBlock
After the housing crisis the next crisis is the Spotify price crisis 🤣
