The world’s biggest music streaming service, Spotify, has extended the free trial<\/strong><\/a> for its Premium service by two months.<\/p>\n

The company previously offered the same promotion twice in 2021<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spotify’s usual free Premium trial is only available for one month, but users who sign up for a Premium account before 11 September 2022 can enjoy its benefits for free for three months.<\/p>\n

That could save them up to R179.97, based on the Premium Individual account’s standard price of R59.99 per month.<\/p>\n

The 3-month free trial is also available on the discounted Student account, which usually costs R29.99 per month.<\/p>\n

To qualify for this account tier, you must be studying at an accredited education institution.<\/p>\n

The 3-month offer is unavailable to previous or existing subscribers, but Spotify is offering a substantial discount to returning users who cancelled before 15 July 2022.<\/p>\n

They can get Premium for R59.99 for their first three months back on the service.<\/p>\n

Free vs Premium<\/h3>\n

While Spotify also has a free tier as standard, it lacks many features available on Premium, including the ability to download music and listen to tracks without ads.<\/p>\n

Premium also lets users play any song they want and skip to the next title as often as they would like.<\/p>\n

Aside from the Individual plan, Spotify also offers Duo and Family plans in South Africa, for R79.99 and R99.99 per month, respectively.<\/p>\n

These allow for signing up more accounts to the same subscription at a discounted rate.<\/p>\n

The image below shows the prices and features of Spotify’s plans in South Africa.<\/p>\n
