What Is Spotify Duo?

Spotify Duo is a subscription plan available for two people who share the same address.

You do not share login details with your companion; you only share the plan.

Basically, splitting the cost of Duo with your partner is cheaper than each having your account.

The financial savings, of course, depend on you and your partner splitting the cost of Duo evenly.

The cost for Spotify Duo is US$14.99/month, with equivalent pricing in other countries.
