There’s been a lot of talk surrounding the news that Spotify is coming to so many new markets, including Kenya. Today is the day. The competition is already stiff and many of you are wondering how much they will charge us. According to the official site, Spotify has announced the prices for their premium packages and they are nothing less than we expected.
Spotify Premium Prices
For others who may have checked before, prices for Spotify and Apple Music are pretty steep abroad. For instance, a solo plan is about KES 1,000 and a family plan about KES 1,600. In Kenya, we might say we have it good.
Apple Music charges $2.99 for an Individual plan, $4.99 for a Family plan, $1.49 for a Student plan and $29.00 for an annual individual plan. Spotify is charging pretty much the same amount
