One of the world's most popular audio streaming services, Spotify, could be on the verge of releasing a new subscription plan. The plan, which might be called 'Platinum,' has been reportedly in development for almost two years. Recently, a 9To5Mac reader received the details about the purported plan in a survey sent to him by Spotify after cancelling his decade-long subscription. While the survey contained the expected price of the plan, it also included all the new features that could be released with it.
Per the report published on October 14, 2022, a 9To5Mac reader, Drew, cancelled his 10-year-old Spotify subscription on the day to get a membership of Apple Music. However, Spotify shared a survey with Drew, including details about possible new plans and asked the user if he would consider subscribing back to Spotify in the next 30 days. The possible plan included in the survey was none other than the Spotify Platinum HiFi plan. Apparently, the survey listed the new plan's price to be $19.99 per month for one account.
Drew also received the list of features included in the Spotify Platinum plan, including HiFi, Studio Sound, Headphone Tuner and more. The publication also says that the styling of the survey received by Drew matches Spotify's typography, making it legitimate. Below is the complete list of all the features that the Spotify Platinum plan could feature.
Although the features look great, competitors like Apple provide lossless music and Spatial Audio in student/individual plans that cost $5.99/9.99 per month. Hence, even with high-fidelity audio in the Platinum pack, Spotify might not be able to justify the ask that is effectively double. It is important to note that the launch date or timeline of the Platinum pack is not known yet. However, it should arrive in India with an adjusted price, like other Spotify plans active in the country.
