What does Basic mean in terms of account types?

[mnbowley]

I'm in the UK and recently got an email about Family plan updates from Spotify.

I'm already on Premium Family, but it mentioned the new Basic Family. 

The main difference I can see is no audiobooks, which is fine. 

What I can't understand is what it means by "Up to 6 Basic accounts" in the features.

How does this differ from a Premium account? I can't find any other reference to "Basic" in relation to accounts. 

Can anyone help here?

Hey @mnbowley,

Thanks for reaching out.

With the basic plan, all member accounts will be considered Premium Family Basic sub-accounts instead of regular Family sub-accounts.

This means that in the future, if, for example, Audiobooks or other features become available to the regular Family sub-accounts, the Family Basic sub-accounts will not have these features included. 

There's currently no difference for members when they're part of a regular or basic Premium Family plan, since Audiobooks are only available to the plan manager in the regular plan.

I hope this clears things up 🙂
