Despite its recent hard times, and tough competition from the likes of Apple and Amazon, Spotify is offering three free months of service for new Spotify Premium users. The three-month offer is available for new individual and student subscribers, while new Spotify Duo and family subscribers can receive one free month. If you were a formers Premium member, this offer, unfortunately, doesn’t apply to you, but Spotify is giving those who canceled before July 15th a chance to revamp their subscription at a steep discount, receiving their first three months for UGX 10,000.
The new offer is valid for users until Sunday, September 11th. After the three-month trial is over, subscribers who took advantage of the deal will be charged the regular price for the subscription. Those interested can sign up at Spotify.com/Premium.
Spotify continues to see a boost in its growing subscriber numbers but revenues are not something to talk about. As the company slows hiring amid concerns about the economy. The count increased to 188 million during the company’s second quarter from the 182 million subscribers Spotify reported in Q1 — with the platform’s overall user count increasing to 433 million from the 422 million it reported in Q1.
The audio streaming giant has also been adding some new features recently. The company now gives its paid subscribers a separate play and shuffle button. Spotify also began introducing a redesign that helps separate podcasts and music. There’s still no sign of Spotify HiFi, though.
