Do you know how to pay for your Spotify subscription in Kenya? This article focuses on Spotify premium plans and how you can pay for them using M-Pesa.
Spotify is one of the leading music streaming services in the world. It offers access to over 70 million songs and 2.2 million podcasts. The service was launched in Kenya in February 2021, joining other international music streaming services such as Apple Music and Deezer. You can access Spotify on web browsers, mobile apps, smart speakers, and smart TVs.
Spotify offers two types of subscription plans: free and premium. The free plan allows you to listen to music and podcasts with occasional ads. However, if you want to enjoy more features and benefits, then you have to upgrade to the premium plan. With the premium plan, you will get ad-free streaming, offline playback, on-demand playback, and higher-quality audio.
