Spotify plans $6 Music Pro service with AI, ticket perks

Spotify is developing a new premium service called Music Pro, which could cost an additional US$5.99 per month on top of existing subscriptions.

The service is expected to launch in late 2025, with pricing potentially varying by region.

Music Pro will feature AI-powered tools like song mixing and may offer benefits for live events, such as presale access and better seating.

Spotify is also in talks with music promoters and ticket sellers, though these arrangements are not finalized.

The move into super-premium services comes as Spotify faces slowing growth in North America and Europe.

Competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited already offer high-resolution audio, but Spotify remains the largest streaming service with 675 million users globally.
