While I subscribe to Apple Music and YouTube Music, I use Spotify the most — a lot of that has to do with the fact that it has better playlists and recommendations. That said, the lack of a lossless tier has been a major issue for a while now, and Spotify is addressing that with the introduction of its Premium Platinum plan in India, following its rollout in other global markets.
The plan lets you listen to lossless music in Spotify with bitrate of up to 24-bit/44.1kHz, and it's just great to be able to stream higher-quality music on Spotify. While it has been a long time coming, what isn't so great is the pricing: the Premium Platinum costs ₹299 ($3.38), which is a 40% increase from the ₹179 ($2) family plan. Annoyingly, the family plan is no longer available for new subscribers, and has been moved to the legacy tier — if you subscribe to it, you can continue using it.
