Our note

On 21 October 2026, What Hi-Fi? reported that Spotify had begun rolling out a QR-code check for Premium Family members, aimed at confirming they live under the same roof. The report said members had seven days to scan the code; missing that window would stop them joining another Family or Duo plan for 12 months. Spotify's terms, which I checked on 30 October 2026, already required the plan holder and members to be family living at the same address.

When I checked Spotify's UK plans on 30 October 2026, Family was £21.99 a month for up to six Premium accounts, with parental controls. The plan manager alone received the 15 hours a month of audiobooks. Duo was £17.99 a month for a couple at the same address, while Individual was £12.99 a month for one. Those prices give different household sizes a comparison without assuming everyone uses every feature. I'd look at how many eligible family members at one address would listen, and whether the plan manager would use the audiobook hours.
