Spotify Officially Launched In India

After waiting for years, Spotify comes around. So, from now on, you don’t need to search for VPNs or ways to work around with Spotify in India.

Before you jump into the premium squad, Spotify gives you a 30-days trial, and speaking of the pricing, the company is charging Rs. 119 per month and Rs. 1,189 per year (viz around Rs. 99 per month). Moreover, if you are a student you get a discount of up to 50%, which is intimidating. The pricing is slightly cheaper than that of Apple Music.

Comparison With Others Music Streaming Services

That said, the launch of Spotify in India was expected to happen last month but was delayed for several reasons, one being over licensing rights from Warner Music Group (we hope it settles down soon). One thing for sure, it won’t be an easy sail for Spotify to compete with well-established streaming services in India.
