Spotify’s data usage depends on the selected audio quality: the higher the chosen audio quality, the more data it will consume.
We\u2019ve summarized the data usage based on quality, to help you choose the best option for you:<\/p>
Low Quality (24 kbps):<\/strong> If you’re traveling and want to save data, or if you’re in an area with a slow connection but still want to listen to your favorite songs, the Low Quality setting allows you to use Spotify while consuming about 10 MB per hour<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/li> Normal Quality (96 kbps):<\/strong> The standard setting of the app, which allows you to listen to music with most commercial headphones without noticing any audio quality issues. It consumes about 40 MB per hour<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/li> High Quality (160 kbps):<\/strong> Better quality, but unnecessary if you don\u2019t have the right devices to fully enjoy it. The consumption is about 70 MB per hour<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/li> Very High Quality (320 kbps):<\/strong> The best audio quality offered by Spotify. However, if you don\u2019t have a fast connection and the right listening devices, you won\u2019t fully appreciate the difference in quality, but you’ll consume extra data. This option uses about 150 MB per hour<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/li> <\/ul> Most users listen to Spotify in normal or high quality, with an estimated average monthly consumption of around 1-2 GB<\/strong> (assuming about 1 hour of usage per day).<\/p> If you love listening to music while traveling, choosing a 10 GB plan for a month<\/strong> should be more than enough (considering normal network usage). However, if you want to listen to Spotify in high or very high quality, data consumption may increase, and when combined with usage from other apps, you might need to opt for a data plan with more GB available, or a rechargeable solution (like most eSIMs from www.esim.sm<\/a>).<\/p> Non vuoi rinunciare alla tua dose quotidiana di buona musica ma vuoi tenere i tuoi consumi sotto controllo? <\/p> Choosing Spotify Premium gives you access to many exciting features and options compared to the free version, such as:<\/p> The prices for Premium plans in March 2025 are:<\/p> Individual plan:<\/strong> 9.99\u20ac\/month<\/p> <\/li> Family plan:<\/strong> 14.99\u20ac\/month (shareable with up to 6 people)<\/p> <\/li> Student plan:<\/strong> 4.99\u20ac\/month (for university students)<\/p> <\/li> <\/ul> If you want to try the service, a 1-month free trial is available.<\/p> Choose the best plan for your needs on the official website: www.spotify.com<\/a>.<\/p> For your trips abroad, the best solution to stay connected and listen to the perfect soundtrack for your vacation is a virtual SIM from eSIM.sm!<\/p> On our website, you\u2019ll find a wide range of data plans for over 190 destinations.
