Spotify Premium is great for people who want to choose from a huge range of music, while also being able to sample a bit of podcasts and audiobooks. Yet, Spotify gets tricky if you’re sharing a single account with others, especially with children, and this is most obvious during Spotify Wrapped. While you can manually delete songs from your Wrapped results, the long-term option is to add more users to your account. Here’s how to do it.
The type of accounts Spotify offersÂ
While Spotify offers a free account, it is still quite limited, and you’ll obviously need to upgrade to add users. The main paid accounts are:
- Premium: $11 (£11 or AU$12) per month for one personÂ
- Duo: $15 (£15 or AU$18) per month for two users (one primary)
- Family: $17 (£18 or AU$21) per month for up to six people (one primary and five family members)Â
Note that whether you choose Duo or Family, every user becomes a Premium member with the same benefits. The only proviso to this is that only the primary gets access to the 15 free hours of audiobooks every month.
These are strictly “household” plans versus “friends and family” ones, as all users need to be registered at the same address. While Spotify also has a Student plan that includes Hulu, these aren’t eligible for the Family plan, nor is the grandfathered Spotify with Hulu plan. You’ll need to cancel these to start the multiuser plans.

Upgrading your Spotify account to Family isn’t a difficult process, but you can only make changes from a web browser. You can access some of these links from within the mobile or desktop Spotify apps, though.Â
If you’re an existing Spotify Premium or a free user, the process for upgrading to Spotify Family is the same.
- First, open your Spotify desktop or mobile app, or navigate to spotify.com from your browser, and log in to your existing account or create a new one.
