That service, rumors suggest, will be sold as part of an Apple Music subscription or even ship with iOS. But video will soon be critical for Spotify, given Apple’s forthcoming plans for a TV subscription service that’s filled with high-quality original video. That means Spotify Premium users will have access to on-demand music and personalized playlists and mixes, while also gaining access to Hulu’s on-demand video library of over 75,000 TV shows and movies, like “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Looming Towers,” and Marvel’s “Runaways.”īy combining forces with Hulu, Spotify is able to offer its subscribers access to video – something it tried to tack on before through its own original video efforts, which largely flopped and were later scaled back. The bundled subscriptions are not any different from the existing paid subscriptions offered today. Even when the price increases to the full $12.99 per month, it’s far less than paying for both on their own. On its own, Hulu’s Limited Commercials plan is $7.99, so this is a significant savings. Starting today, Spotify Premium users will be given the option to trial the bundled subscription through a promotion that offers Hulu for 99 cents for a three-month period.
Later this summer, the bundled subscription will become available to all of Spotify’s U.S.-based users as well as any other potential newcomers to the two services. Instead of paying $9.99 per month for a paid subscription to Spotify’s on-demand music service, they can choose to pay $12.99 per month for a combination of Spotify Premium and Hulu’s Limited Commercials plan.
Spotify’s 71 million-plus existing Premium users will get the first shot at upgrading to the bundled subscription. Today, the companies are announcing a similar discounted bundle will be available to all users.
Last fall, Hulu and Spotify teamed up to offer students a bundle including both of their services for a discounted price, compared with paying for each subscription separately.
