Interesting Spotify Facts №1 — How Does Spotify Make Money?

Spotify makes money in two ways.

Firstly, there are paying premium members. There are roughly 141 million Spotify premium users. Therefore, Spotify receives at least £1.4 billion in the total monthly income. However, a lot of those have family memberships. That is an additional 50%. For instance, we pay £14.99 for our family membership.

There is also a freemium membership. This is free to the listener. However, this segment (which makes up the other 50%) generates money for Spotify through advertising. Therefore, 145 million people have to put up with advertising.

Therefore, there are 286 million Spotify listeners in total.
