Churn rates are also down globally, according to Spotify.Ek's statements counter the analysis from CIRP. "The monthly payment plan does allow Premium subscribers to cancel at any time, a situation that Spotify calls ‘churn’. We estimate a US churn rate of 16% for the quarter, higher than what Spotify suggests is the global rate" said [ CIRP](https://www.cirpllc.com/?ref=hypebot.com) co-founder Mike Levin. "Again, we attribute this to a competitive US market, with many choices for paid and free streaming music services.”
