New Spotify Basic plan could save Premium users up to £24 a year

Spotify subscribers may unknowingly be paying extra for a service they don't use.

It comes after the online music streaming giant quietly introduced a new Basic plan at a cheaper price. By changing their plan, subscribers could save up to £2 a month and all they have to do is give up audiobooks.

Apart from that, the Basic plan provides the same features as the Premium plan, including an ad-free experience, downloading any songs you wants, high-quality audio, and podcasts. It comes after Spotify announced its plans to increase its subscription costs by £1 for individual plans and £2 for Duo and Family plans.
