Customers can save money on their Spotify subscription by removing audiobooks from their plan

As Spotify subscription fees continue to creep up, you might be wondering whether there is anything you can do about it – as it turns out, there is.

MoneySavingExpert writer, Peter Lekarski, says that ‘Most of Spotify's existing 'Premium' plans … include 15 hours a month of listening time from its audiobooks catalogue, although on the Duo and Family plans, this is only available for the primary account holder.’

While there have been rumours that removing audiobooks from your Spotify plan can reduce your monthly bill, it seems this option is no longer available to most regular users. The good news, though, is that you can still save by downgrading your Spotify package.

As of 2025, Spotify family subscriptions cost a whopping £19.99 per month, but if it’s just two of you using it, you can save a whole £3 by switching to Spotify Duo instead.

Similarly, if you’re signed up to a Duo account but now only use it for yourself, opt for an Individual Spotify account instead for £11.99 a month, to save yourself up to £5 per month.

If you’re a student, don’t make the mistake of paying for a regular subscription. Spotify has a dedicated Student subscription option for £5.99 a month, so you don’t have to waste your student budget.

Alternatively, customers can also save even more by paying for a year’s subscription upfront using a Spotify gift card. MoneySavingExpert found that Amazon and Currys offer digital gift cards that mean you can enjoy 12 months of Individual Premium for £99.

So, while the option to remove audiobooks to save on your subscription is no longer available to most Spotify users, there are a few alternatives that can help reduce the monthly cost.
