How Much is Spotify Premium in Malaysia?

If you think that’s kinda expensive, then let’s get to the part where you learn how to save money on your Spotify Premium fee 🙂

Method #1 – Get on a Duo or Family instead of an Individual Plan

Sharing is not only caring, but it’ll save you money on your Spotify Premium plan. If everyone contributes equally, 

• Sharing with 1 other person in the Spotify Duo Plan will cost each of you RM10.75 per month, or RM129 per year.
• Sharing with 5 other people in the Spotify Family Plan will cost each of you RM4.15 per month, or RM49.80 per year

The catch is that someone must be responsible to hold the main account. They will make the payment to Spotify via their account as well as assign account keys to the other five people. The main account holder will also have to chase the rest for payments, so the effective way is to collect the money upfront.

Important point: All six of you need to key in the exact same address.

Method #2 – Keep an eye out for deals

There are 3 deals now: Get 2 months for the price of 1, Spotify Premium Mini and Spotify Student

#1 – Get 2 months for the price of 1

Note: The list is not exhaustive, just the ones I know. Do have a look with your telco provider and e-wallets, in case they do other short-term deals. If you know more, please comment and share.

Bottom line: How much is Spotify Premium depends on convenience

So which Spotify Premium subscription should you pick – directly from Spotify, or via one of the 3 methods above?

My recommendation is… try the cheapest possible options first, ie Method #1 and #2. If it works out, great. If it doesn’t, then pay for convenience (ie subscribe directly from Spotify at normal price).
