I’ve used Spotify for years, but the price keeps going up and the app feels crowded with podcasts, audiobooks and recommendations. Is it still worth keeping?

The family plan is why we stay. Everyone in the house uses it, and the kids have their playlists. I do not love every change, but replacing it would create more hassle than savings. For one person, I would compare options. For families, convenience wins.

I switched because I wanted a cleaner music-first experience. Spotify started feeling like it wanted to be everything: podcasts, audiobooks, videos, social features. Some people love that, but I just wanted albums and better organization. If your playlists matter most, Spotify is hard to leave.

I complain about Spotify, but I still keep it because the playlists and recommendations work well for me. My music history is there, my shared playlists are there, and switching feels like moving house. The app is cluttered now, but the music discovery still keeps me paying.
