This may be a stupid question, but bear with me. I recently signed up for spotify and did not realize that there was a free and premium subscription. I was automatically put on a 48 free trial for premium, but I do not want to start paying for premium when the trial is over. For those that have more experience with spotify, do I just wait until the free trial is over and then I'll automatically be on the free subscription, or do I need to delete an account or the trial in order to not have to pay anything? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey,
Very warm welcome to the community.
This free trial for two days is total free and you not be charged. After this trial your account is again Free and may be with those limitations, but you are free to use it without sending money to Spotify.
However you can subscribe to Unlimited or Premium at any time.
Thank you for using Spotify.

Thanks dude. Appreciate the quick response.
You're welcome!
If you sign up for a free Spotify account you have a 48 hours trial for the mobile app.
After this time you can't use the mobile feature anymore but of course keep listening to Spotify free on your desktop.
No need to make a new account, the trial is included in every new free Spotify registration.

Hey 🙂
You can use your premium login on as many devices as you like, however, you can only have 3 devices with offline stored content at any given time, up to a maximum of 3,333 tracks per device. You can only have 1 active streaming session at any given time to, so if you are listening online on one device and you start listening online on another, your playback will be paused.

David, got a question about that too. If you redeem the premium code during the free trial will it cancel the trial and start the subscription right away or let the normal 30 days trial run out first before it switches to the redeemed code's subscription?
Just asking because you said "after this, you can redeem...".
Apologies if I was a little unclear.
Here's an example.
Say you started your 30 day Premium trial today. It'd end around 23rd January (probably, this is all in hypothetical land) and either change into a paid subscription, or revert to the free version of Spotify if you cancelled your subscription.
However, on Christmas day, you get a code for an additional three months of Premium. If you redeem this code, you are credited for these 3 months in addition to your free trial. So, rather than getting charged for the first time in January, you won't get charged until April. Basically, it'd "add it on" to the end of your trial period.
Alright, thanks for clearing this up David!
thank you for asking this question and thanks for asking it. I was getting worried. Ive used it before on my laptop and it had never said that beofre
so if your listenign to it on a mobile device then your paying for the premium?

To listen on a mobile device requires a premium subscription. However, it is possible to be on a 48 hour (non-renewing) or 30 day (automatically renewing) trial which you do not need to pay for.

Strange, have you ever entered your payment details in Spotify or subscribed to premium?
If you have recently logged in on a mobile device for the first time, such as a phone or tablet, then you are probably on a free 48 hour trial and your account will revert to free after it is over. You can also view your subscription status at any time by viewing your online overview.
