music · technology · streaming

Millions of songs at your fingertips. Spotify has over 761 million people using it every month to listen to practically any song they want, whenever they want. You can create playlists, discover new artists, and share music with friends all in one app.

Free and paid options. You can use Spotify for free if you listen to ads between songs, or pay a monthly subscription to listen ad-free and download songs to play offline. This freemium model means everyone can enjoy music, no matter their budget.

Born in Sweden. Spotify was created in 2006 by two Swedish friends, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, who wanted to make it easy and legal for people to stream music instead of downloading it illegally.

A publicly traded company. Spotify is so successful that it's listed on the New York Stock Exchange, meaning people around the world can own a piece of the company by buying its stock.
