Hello and welcome to the community!
Yes, it's normal, I recommedn to choose the lower quality. You also can upgrade to Premium in order to sync songs and listen in offline mode.
Tap this button:
Go to Preferences, choose Music Quality and choose the lower quality.
The bitrate for the qualities is as follows:
Normal: 92 kilobits/second
High: 160 kilobits/second
Extreme: 320 kilobits/second
This means the amount of data for one hour of playtime is:
Normal: 43.2 megabytes
High: 72 megabytes
Extreme: 144 megabytes
It is greatly reduced however by utilizing the Spotify cache. This means if you listen to a song you listened to recently, less data is used than would normally be needed. But if you are listening to many different songs the cache wont make as much of a difference.
For downloading the songs to listen to them without using any mobile data to stream after the download (premium only), check out the FAQ here and select iPhone:
