Two weeks after another price increase, streaming service Spotify has introduced in the US a slightly cheaper plan, priced at $11, which doesn't include audiobooks.
With the move, Spotify says eligible music lovers will have a choice between paying $12 per month for Premium Individual, including 15 hours of audiobooks per month, with more than 250,000 titles, or paying the original $11-per-month fee for the new Basic Individual tier without audio books.
Apart from those options, users of the free, ad-supported version of Spotify can now add audiobook listening for $10 a month. Plus, there's a $17-per-month Premium Duo tier and a $20-per-month Premium Family plan.
Meanwhile, while the Basic Individual plan may not appear on the pricing page a Spotify representative told CNET that some plans, including Basic Duo, will only appear to "eligible" users once they are logged in. It doesn't appear that new users are able to choose from all of the available at this time.
Spotify is the biggest music streaming service, with more than 615 million users (239 million of whom are subscribers). Beyond letting you do without ads, upgrading from free Spotify to Premium lets you download songs to listen to offline, among other perks.
