Since Spotify Premium is not free, you need to pay a monthly fee for each family member. Fortunately, Spotify came up with a solution - Spotify Premium Family Plan.

While using this feature, up to 6 accounts can be linked to one another using the Spotify family plan, making the fees lower on average for the entire family. Note that just because the name of the feature contains the word ‘family’, this doesn’t mean you can’t share your Spotify Premium with 6 of your friends and make the app even cheaper than using it all by yourself!
