Overview
20 countries · Individual, Student, Duo, Family · collected October 8, 2026 · converted to USD at that week's rates
Spotify Premium Individual costs $1.20 a month in Nigeria and $17.23 in the United Kingdom. That is a 14.4× spread for the same ad-free catalog — more than twice the gap we found for Netflix (6.9×). The UK is the most expensive country in the set on every plan; the US ($12.99) sits almost exactly in the middle of the rich-country group, below all of Western Europe. The median Individual price across the 20 countries is $8.34.
Every figure comes from Spotify's own Premium page for that country, requested from a residential IP inside the country, so it is the price a new subscriber there sees today — not a third-party list.

What the numbers show
Three countries have a different Spotify. India and South Africa no longer sell Duo or Family. Instead the lineup is Standard (what Individual is called there), Student, and a new Platinum tier — ₹299 in India, R179.99 in South Africa — that covers up to three accounts and adds lossless audio. South Korea has no Family plan either and sells a Basic tier (₩8,690) with no offline downloads below Individual. Japan also uses the "Standard" name for Individual but keeps Duo and Family. If you are searching for "Spotify Family price in India", the answer is that it does not exist as of October 2026.
The UK is the most expensive on every plan. £12.99 Individual converts to $17.23, above the Netherlands ($15.74) and Germany ($14.62). The UK Family plan at £21.99 is $29.16 — nearly $5 a seat, against $0.31 a seat in Nigeria.
The US is cheaper than Western Europe. At $12.99 the US Individual price is below Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, and the US is the only country in the set where the Student plan bundles a second service (Hulu).
Family is the real discount, and it widens with price. In the UK a Family seat costs 28% of an Individual plan; in Nigeria 26%; in Mexico 29%. The ratio is stable, so the absolute saving is largest where the Individual price is highest.
France has odd prices because of tax display. €12.14, €7.07, €17.20, €21.24 — Spotify shows French prices tax-inclusive after a VAT change, which is why they do not end in .99 like every neighbor.
Carrier and e-wallet billing get their own deals. Turkey, Pakistan, South Africa, Nigeria and Mexico show a "2 months for the price of 1" intro offer when you pay by carrier billing or e-wallet, while card payers get the standard "1 month free". These market-specific offers only appear when the page is loaded from inside the country.
Prepaid annual plans exist in emerging markets only. Brazil (R$239/year Individual, about 17% off), Mexico (MX$1,390/year), India (₹1,390/year) and South Africa (R699/year) show annual prepaid prices; none of the 11 high-income countries do.
Spotify vs Netflix: same countries, different gaps
We ran the same 20-country collection for Netflix a day earlier. Putting the two side by side:
| Country | Spotify Individual | Netflix Standard | Netflix ÷ Spotify |
|---|
| Nigeria | $1.20 | $4.89 | 4.1× |
| India | $1.44 | $5.17 | 3.6× |
| Turkey | $2.34 | $7.93 | 3.4× |
| Argentina | $2.96 | $9.87 | 3.3× |
| Brazil | $4.80 | $9.02 | 1.9× |
| Mexico | $7.73 | $14.96 | 1.9× |
| United States | $12.99 | $19.99 | 1.5× |
| Germany | $14.62 | $17.99 | 1.2× |
| Netherlands | $15.74 | $17.99 | 1.1× |
| United Kingdom | $17.23 | $18.55 | 1.1× |
Spotify discounts emerging markets far more aggressively than Netflix. In Nigeria Netflix costs four Spotifys; in the UK the two are within a dollar of each other. Spotify's cheapest-to-dearest spread is 14.4×, Netflix's is 6.9×.

How we collected this
Each row is Spotify's own Premium page for that country — spotify.com/<country>/premium/ — requested through the Geonode Scraper API from a residential IP inside that country, on October 8, 2026. Spotify serves different plan lineups and intro offers by geography, and several of them (carrier-billing deals, the Platinum tier, the Korean Basic tier) only appear when the request originates in-country, which is why the collection is done this way rather than by changing the URL alone. We confirmed every page's og:locale matched the proxy country.
Currency conversion uses USD reference rates from October 7, 2026 (open.er-api.com). Argentina, Turkey and Nigeria will drift in USD terms between refreshes. Argentina's prices are shown before tax, as Spotify shows them there.
Collection is re-run in the first week of every month; each month's snapshot is kept and changes are listed at the top of this page.
