Get Spotify Premium Free for 1 Month (with No Fees!)

Co-authored by Jack Lloyd Reviewed by Luigi Oppido

Last Updated: July 9, 2024 Tested

Listening to all of your favorite tunes and podcasts ad-free on Spotify sounds pretty great. Paying a monthly fee for Spotify Premium? Not so much. While there is no way to use Spotify Premium for free without eventually paying for a membership, the 30-day free trial should give you enough time to determine whether or not you want to pay for Spotify. Keep in mind that in order to use the Spotify Premium free trial, you'll need a Spotify account which hasn't yet used the free Premium membership; additionally, you cannot sign up for Premium using the Spotify desktop program or the iPhone version of the Spotify app.

- If you don't have an account, you can click Sign Up at the bottom of the page and fill out the form to create a new Spotify account. You'll need to go back to the Spotify Premium page after doing this.

Enter payment information. While you won't be charged the $9.99 monthly fee for the first month, you'll still need to enter your card name, number, expiration date, and security code on the payment page.

Click START 30-DAY FREE TRIAL NOW. It's a green button below the payment information section. This will start your Premium subscription immediately; you'll have access to Spotify Premium features for free for 30 days, after which point you'll be charged $9.99 per month until you cancel the subscription.
- If you cancel the subscription a day or more before it's set to renew, you won't be billed for the next month.
While there is no way to get Spotify Premium for free indefinitely, you can always create a new Spotify account by using a different email address (or Facebook account) and then cancelling your subscription before you're charged. This is cumbersome, but it will allow you to continue using Spotify Premium without $9.99 per month.

In addition to being illegal, any site or service claiming to give you unlimited Spotify Premium for free is likely a scam or a ploy to download malware onto your computer.
