According to a new study, Americans are the ones who pay the highest prices.<\/p>\n

Spotify hiked its UK-based Premium, Duo and Family package costs by \u00a31\/ $1 in late July, much to its users\u2019 dismay.<\/p>\n

Since then, the search phrase\u00a0\u2018Spotify\u00a0Premium VPN\u2019\u00a0has raked in over 336million views on TikTok. <\/p>\n

Following the latest trend can be a costly mistake. <\/p>\n

Virtual private networks, also known as VPNs, are essentially used to disguise your IP address. <\/p>\n

These can be used for a lower subscription rate by hiding as IP addresses from other countries where the prices are cheaper. <\/p>\n

Costs can be affected by the size of the country, the number of people living there and their per capita income. <\/p>\n

Spotify has guidelines that prohibit VPNs from being used to spread malware. <\/p>\n

Spotify bans the act of \u201ccircumventing any technology used by\u00a0Spotify, its licencors, or any third party, including any territorial or other content access restrictions applied by\u00a0Spotify\u00a0or its licencors.”<\/p>\n

And breaking Spotify’s T&Cs can see your account restricted or worse, banned. <\/p>\n

This means that a life’s worth of music, playlists, and well-oiled recommendation systems are gone. <\/p>\n

You should consider your existing plan if cost is a concern. <\/p>\n

You can also opt to pay for a family membership if you are paying separately for your packages. <\/p>\n

Also, look into discounts for students and families. <\/p>\n
