Spotify provides a digital music streaming service that allows users to access millions of songs and podcasts online. Users can choose between a free plan, which includes ads, and a premium subscription that offers an ad-free experience along with features like offline listening and higher sound quality. This tiered model caters to different user preferences and budgets. Spotify generates revenue through subscription fees from premium users and advertising from the free tier. What sets Spotify apart from its competitors, such as Apple Music and Amazon Music, is its extensive music library, user-friendly interface, and personalized playlists. The company's goal is to connect listeners with a wide range of audio content while supporting artists and advertisers.
