Spotify HiFi

$20/month???  I pay like 25% less for Qobuz.  Who the hell do they think they are?

I have Qobuz and Amazon music both for the same price as Spotify Platinum, which of course doesn't actually exist yet.

I had gotten this survey on Feb-11 this year and have screen shots that indicated $9.99/month for individual platinum plan and $25.99/month for platinum plan for 6-member family. The screen shots say that "platinum features included":

Ad-free O&E podcasts

Higher quality audio

Sound optimization

DJ tools

Interactive singalong

Listening statistics

Looks like they cannot make the individual plan happen for $9.99/month and hence got someone to "leak" the "survey" to let other know that they are coming with $19.99/month plan.

I am ready to pay $15.99/month. But anything above that is not competitive.

The monthly definitely seems high. I’d be curious what the “playlist pro” consists of, though.

Something I was thinking about this morning in regards to pricing: Spotify Platinum is rumored to be $20/individual with Hi-Fi being qualified as CD-quality. 
 

One could purchase a year’s subscription of Tidal through Best Buy for $10/month and then could purchase a year’s subscription of Roon for $10/month. This combination would yield higher resolution and likely better algorithms for suggested new tracks and artists for essentially the same price.
 

Too early to tell, but IMO Spotify’s pricing doesn’t add up for me in comparison to the competition.
