Over the coming months, Spotify will work with Google’s product and engineering teams to build this new experience, and we’ll roll out in countries around the world. Spotify will continue to freely communicate with users about our Premium subscription service, promote discounts and promotions, and give listeners on our Free tier the ability to convert to Premium directly in the app.

This will give everyone the freedom to subscribe and make purchases using the payment option of their choice directly in the Spotify app.

For the first time, these two options will live side by side in the app. Users who’ve downloaded Spotify from the Google Play Store will be presented with a choice to pay with either Spotify’s payment system or with Google Play Billing. Today, we are excited to announce a new chapter in our partnership with Google : a multiyear agreement that represents a first-of-its-kind option in payment choice and offers opportunities for both consumers and developers.
