In the US, the cost will increase from $9. 99 to $10. 99 (£8. 57) for those with an individual plan.
Similar price hikes also apply to the UK, Canada, Australia and 49 other territories.
The Move follows other streaming services which have also increased subscription costs.
" So that we can keep innovating, We Are changing our Premium prices across A Number of markets around The World , " The Music streaming service said on Monday.
" These updates will help us continue to deliver value to fans and artists on our platform. "

Premium subscribers in the UK will pay an extra £1 per month, according to The Verge .
Spotify said users " will be given a one-month grace period before the new price becomes effective, unless they cancel before The Grace period ends".
The Company raised prices of US family plans and UK Student, Duo, and Family plans in 2021. Individual subscriptions were previously unaffected.
