Can You Get Spotify Basic Plan? Here's How

Part 1. Why Choose Spotify Basic Plan

If you're considering the Basic Plan, its affordability and focus on music make it particularly appealing. Apart from its standard offerings, the biggest benefit is the Basic plan comes at a lower monthly price compared with Premium, with one dollar off to sacrifice the Premium catalog of over 250,000 titles.

In reality, many Premium subscribers don't even care about the newly-added audiobook catalog. Instead, they tend to focus on music, and sometimes podcasts. This makes the Basic plan stand out as a main way for the full music experience without extra costs. Why should you ever pay for features you may not use? If the Basic plan appears on the pricing page, you should definitely subscribe.

Part 2. Spotify Basic Plan vs Spotify Premium: Key Differences

However, even Premium subscriptions don't automatically give audiobook access to everyone in the plan. For Duo or Family plans, only the plan manager, namely the person who subscribed and pays the bill can access audiobooks without extra costs. For users who really love audiobooks, Spotify offers the Audiobook Access plan at $10.99 per month, the same price as the Basic Plan. This is a separate plan that lets users choose content based on their preferences.
