For $5 more, they can get all that for up to six people with an extra 150GB of cloud storage.

For $3 less than the mooted $19.99 per month price in the survey, users can sign up for Apple One, giving them Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV Plus and 50GB of iCloud storage. In our analysis at the time the survey emerged, we felt that Spotify was re-examining whether the new tier could be used to squeeze a bit more money out of subscribers, but the company would certainly have its work cut out. Some believe that’s the reason why Spotify HiFi has been put on the back burner: if it couldn’t be a driver of additional revenue, then it was no longer seen as a priority for the company. That's especially when you consider that lossless audio is already available for less on other platforms.īoth Apple Music and Amazon’s Music Unlimited surprised the world by adding lossless audio to their subscription packages at no extra cost (although Apple has sinces increased its prices). But if the $19.99 monthly cost seen in the survey is to be believed, it could be too steep for the majority of music fans, including quality-audio diehards.

There been no official comment on the survey from Spotify either. We will of course update you here when we can.” But we don’t have timing details to share yet. We feel the same, and we’re excited to deliver a Spotify HiFi experience to Premium users in the future. This happened with a comment that appeared in a thread on Spotify’s Community site: “We know that HiFi quality audio is important to you. Despite the survey refueling the rumor mill that a lossless-audio tier could still be in the works, Spotify hasn't made any official announcement about its plans since it dashed hopes of an imminent roll out earlier this year.
