Spotify Duo is a subscription plan by Spotify designed for two people living at the same address. Each person gets their own separate Premium account, so they do not share login information or playlists, except for a special shared playlist called Duo Mix. The Duo Mix combines music tastes from both users into one playlist that updates automatically. Key features of Spotify Duo include:

  • Two separate Premium accounts under one subscription, allowing each person to maintain their own saved music and playlists.
  • Ad-free listening, offline downloads, and personalized music recommendations.
  • The Duo Mix playlist that blends songs both users like.
  • Only people living at the same address can join, and Spotify verifies this by requiring address confirmation.

The plan manager (the person who signs up first) handles the subscription payment and manages invitations. Invited users must confirm the same address to join the plan. This plan is more affordable than two individual Premium subscriptions and is designed for couples or friends living together. Thus, Spotify Duo works by providing two linked but individually managed Premium accounts for people at the same residence, with shared billing and some shared features like the Duo Mix playlist, while maintaining personal music libraries and privacy.
