Spotify is increasing the price of Premium subscriptions next month, for users in the U.S., Estonia, and Latvia. Spotify Premium accounts will now start at $12.99 per month for individuals.
The update comes just seven months after the price of Spotify Premium jumped from $10.99 to $11.99 per month in June.
Users will be notified via email about the pricing update, which will go into effect in February. The company says that price increases “reflect the value that Spotify delivers, enabling us to continue offering the best possible experience and benefit artists.”
Here’s an example of the email that will go out to current subscribers:
