Spotify has today announced a major change when it comes to account types. The popular online streaming service is adding two new account types call Spotify Unlimited and Spotify Open.
Spotify Unlimited is a paid account type but with half the cost of Spotify Premium. Spotify Unlimited features ad-free and unlimited access but lacks the possbility of mobile access and offline sync. The price of Spotify Unlimited is €5 /month.
Spotify Open is ad-finance, restricted to 20 hours access per month but costs nothing and does not require an invite.
As of today, Spotify has four (4) account types; Premium (€10 /month), Unlimited (€5 /month), Free and Open.

Comment:
It is quite obvious that Spotify wants to both increase sales and focus the attention away from the free account. All account types will co-exist but this move will most likely signup a lot of users to the Open account format which may lead to conversion into either Premium or Unlimited. Smart move!
Thanks for great sharing
