My Question or Issue

Our neighborhood Russia have premium subscription for 2 USD, we are poorer and we have 5 USD. Average salary in Kazakhstan is 200-230 USD. Please change. Or write the right place where I can write this message, because I don't know where exactly I should write this

Hi there @1quisher, I hope your keeping well.

The price for Premium varies across regions and is based on a variety of reasons.
These can be differences in licensing agreements or other factors that allow Spotify to bring Spotify to a given country in the first place and can be quite different from one region to another. Spotify always strive to offer Premium at a competitive price and will continue to do so.

Be on the lookout for special offers in your region and even if not using Premium, Spotify bringing the music catalogue to people in new places across the world will help everyone discover new tunes and improve their music listening experience.

It's better off to launch in CIS countries when you've dealt with privacy policy and other price-forming factors. Now it's just a scar on Spotify's face here. A regular listener doesn't think of named factors, that's why the cOmPaNy has to before launching
