Tidal will join Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and most other music streaming services in raising its monthly subscription from $9.99 to $10.99 monthly in the U.S.
Tidal’s price hike will begin on August 1st.
Spotify is taking a different route.
If recent reports are accurate, Spotify’s base price will remain $9.99, with the streamer adding a new ‘Supremium’ tier.
The new plan will reportedly include HiFi audio and more audiobook access. It will launch first in non-U.S. markets later this year.
