Spotify India user here. At midnight when I found out from my friends that they launched in India, I switched from my $9.99/mo shared account from some internet service to Spotify's $1.67/mo within minutes.
Spotify had a pretty neat prepaid option too, where your subscription doesn't renew until you manually recharge. Was cool of them to add such an India-specific feature at launch.
- finchisko 8y agoIt really costs 1.67$ in India?
- dakshmiglani 8y agoyes it does, but for the time being a lot of artists are not available there. so worthless for some people.
- statictype 8y agoApple Music is almost the same cost and has almost everything I want to listen to.
- lvng 8y agotrue but apple music's ui and music discovery feature sucks. Ongoing feud between warner and spotify will be over in coming days as both companies are loosing out on revenue, so yeah spotify will get better with time in India. But for local music listeners Gaana is still a better choice imo.
- mesaframe 8y agoThats scaled according to cost of living in India.
- govg 8y agoI'm unsure if Spotify offers these plans elsewhere, but in India they have the following tiers : Rs. 119 per month (1.7$) Rs. 1189 per year (16.85$) And also, funnily, "top-up" plans: Rs. 13 for 1 day (18c) Rs. 39 for 1 week (54c) Rs. 389 for 3 months (5.5$) Rs. 719 for 6 months (10.2$) Also available are student plans, which give you a 50% discount on the monthly plans. So you could end up using Spotify for ~85c a month in India.
- sridca 8y agoGoogle Play Music costs Rs. 99 (~ 1.4 USD) per month in India.
- CraneWorm 8y agois it possible to use VPN to take advantage of that?
