Separately, Spotify’s Premium tier alone costs $9.99 a month, while Hulu’s Limited Commercials plan requires monthly payments of $7.99. The deal also reveals yet another way the streaming company hopes to combat the rising popularity of Apple Music, which has been growing its premium subscribe count at an alarming rate in recent months.To be perfectly clear, you’ll be charged $10.98 for your first month of promotional combined service, $9.99 for months two and three (each), and $12.99 afterward. The timing of Spotify’s new offer could not be better for the company, who has spent the past week embroiled in controversy after taking a stance against raising the royalty rate it pays artists. The new deal does not allow subscribers to add additional services to their plan, which means those who access Hulu through Spotify will need to find another way to enjoy Game Of Thrones and Billions in the months ahead. Unlike the $4.99 Student Plan, which bundles Hulu’s limited commercial plan, plus the Showtime channel alongside the music streaming service, its new promotion doesn’t include any other free extras. On the other hand, if you subscribe to Hulu and don’t yet have a Spotify account, you’ll need to cancel your billing through Hulu, then set it up through Spotify to receive the discount. If you already get Hulu through Spotify, you won’t have to do anything to start saving an extra $3 per month. Once joined head over to the “Your Services” page within account settings and activate your Hulu subscription. To take advantage of the offer, new Spotify users can sign up now. The subscription included ad-free access to Spotify’s entire catalog, as well as access to Hulu’s limited commercial plan. In 2017, Spotify introduced a plan for university students priced at $4.99 a month. The announcement marks the latest bundling collaboration between the two streaming giants in recent years. That perk goes into effect today, and it is available to new and existing users of Spotify’s Premium streaming service in the US.

Spotify Premium now includes a free subscription to Hulu’s ad-supported plan. Will Spotify’s latest marketing ploy boost its subscriber count as Apple Music’s popularity continues to rise?
