Spotify for iOS and iPadOS now shows EU pricing inside the app
Back in March, the European Commission (EC) hit Apple with a massive â¬1.8 billion fine ($2B) for "abusing its dominant positionâ in music streaming on iOS and iPadOS. It was Spotify that issued the initial complaint to the EU back in 2019 and now the Stockholm-based streaming service is getting a small win in the EU where its iOS and iPadOS apps can display subscription tier pricing and promotional offers.
Sadly, thereâs no direct link to external payment options (i.e. Spotifyâs official website) yet as those would be subject to a 27% commission on sales from Apple. Spotify is allowed to refer users to subscribe to its service via its website but without actually showing the domain or having it hyperlinked.
To check out the Spotify pricing tiers, users on iOS and iPadOS can head over to the Spotify appâs Settings > Account > See available plans.
In related news, Spotify is launching a promotional offer for iOS and iPadOS users in the EU with 3 months free before their first subscription payment.
