Is the Spotify Family plan available yet in Canada?
My wife and I both have the free accounts and would like to switch to the family plan, however when we click on Upgrade, we don't see any kind of link to the family plan.
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
The "chumps" can use Google Music on their iPhones or iPods (It's available in the Apple App Store), as long as they have a gmail account (which you as the subscription manager invite). I'm in the same boat, half the family is Android and other half Apple.
That's too radical. I better listen to traditional FM radio than to switch to apple music. Besides, crApple music is a mess compared to Spotify and it is a bad copy just as their maps fiasco.
I just subscribed the Google Music family plan, going to stop Spotify.. Anyways, I doubt Spotify care about that anyways, just $9.99 less per month for them, or even care us who lives in Canada.
Bye Spotify. I won't miss you. Since you treat us so unfair.
That's also what I plan to do (move to Apple Music)! With 4 subscriptions (2 adults+2 kids) at 10$/each, this is too expensive! I'm really disappointed to quit Spotify...perhaps Spotify will changed their position for Canada!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Google Music seems great. I tried Apple Music, and it was very confusing compared to Spotify, especially when it comes to recommandations. Google Music plays very nice on this field, they just miss a few songs for now.
I can't believe Spotify is letting so many customers leave...
I've been trying out Google Play Music and overall looks like I'll be dropping Spotify and switching to it. Seems they have a better selection of the music I listen to which is a bonus. The only thing I'm missing is the ability to follow artists like you can in Spotify, so will have to do more work keeping up with new music. I'm also tired of Spotify's buggy mac interface. I've reported bugs multiple times, had them confirmed by staff and yet they don't do anything about them. The GPM interface is simpler, but works well enough for me.
Another one bites the dust. Just cancelled my Spotify subscriptions and moved everything to a Google Music family plan, and I LOVE it. Saving a ton of money too. Shame, becauseI did enjoy Spotify. There's absolutely no reason for a family plan coming to Canada to take this long though. It's a shame if they're only being held back by a contract with Rogers, because they're going to be leaking customers until they family get their stuff together.
Close to losing another two accounts...
I have a family of 5. There is no way I am paying for each seperate account now that the kids are growing up. We already have two accounts, but I am not paying for 5. That is ridiculous, especially in this day of tablets, phones and every kind of accesibility one can imagine. Shared accounts just aren't viable.
I will be checking out Google Music today. I have been holding off but the time has come and I have been patient. It saddens me as I have come to depend on spotify across all my devices, feels like the end of a chapter.
Thanks Spotify, for all the music. Hope you heal soon in Canada.
So I cancelled my Spotify account today because I want to get a family plan. I'm about to finish my Google Play Music trial so I attempted to upgrade it to a Family Plan. But there is no way to do it via iOS or browser. You have to do it via an adroid device (which I don't have). I'm trying a workaround via BlueStacks (hopefully it will work). But another problem is that my wife is not receiving the Google Family Group invitations I send her. GRRR.
