Why does the same Spotify Premium plan cost about $12.99 in the US… but only around $3.07 in Brazil and $1.40 in India? Same app. Same songs. Same features. Completely different price tag.
In this video, we break down how 51 spotify price works like a silent global tax. American and Western subscribers are turned into a “cash cow” that quietly subsidizes cheaper subscriptions in emerging markets. This isn’t a bug – it’s a business model.
We’ll walk through:
• The real numbers: US vs Brazil vs India monthly prices
• How extreme spotify regional pricing and “price discrimination” actually work
• Why your card gets hit for up to 9x more for the same digital product
• How purchasing power parity and “affordability” become a nice PR term for charging some users way more
• Why US and EU users are effectively funding Spotify’s global expansion
This is not just about Spotify. It’s a blueprint for how global tech platforms set prices, test your pain threshold, and use data to squeeze more out of “rich” markets while locking in growth in “cheap” markets.
If you’ve ever felt like your subscription bill keeps rising while the product stays the same, this is your proof. The system is not broken. The system is working exactly as designed.
Watch till the end for the twist: what happens when every major platform – music, video, cloud storage, software – starts playing the same game with your wallet?
