Spotify Technology said premium subscribers in markets across a number of regions would see the price of their membership increase.
The audio streaming service said premium subscribers would be charged 11.99 euros ($13.89) a month starting in September, increasing from the prior monthly charge of 10.99 euros a month. The change would affect subscribers across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.
“We’re increasing the price of Premium Individual so that we can continue to innovate on our product offerings and features,” said Spotify on Monday.
The price hike mirrors earlier changes announced in June in the U.S. Spotify at the time said premium subscribers will have to pay a dollar more for their individual subscriptions at $11.99 a month starting in July. Duo plans that allow for two users to share an account will start costing $16.99 a month instead of $14.99 a month, while family plans will cost $3 more at $19.99 a month.
Higher prices come as Spotify struggles to post consistent profits despite its leading position in the audiostreaming business. The company in July said it added more subscribers in its second quarter but also showed that it swung to a loss.
