Spotify has teamed up with Hulu to make its subscription plan for students a lot more interesting: Students will now be able to get both a premium Spotify subscription and a subscription to Hulu for a combined price of just $4.99 a month.
Spotify Premium for Students, now with Hulu, as the plan is officially called, essentially combines Spotify’s paid on-demand music service with Hulu’s basic paid on-demand video tier, which the company calls its “limited commercials” plan.
Bought individually without any discounts, both plans would cost $9.99 and $7.99 per month, respectively.
The two companies apparently aren’t done with introducing subscription bundles, either, announcing Thursday that “offerings targeted at the broader market” were going to be revealed at a later date.
Spotify first launched its $4.99 student subscription plan in 2014.
Apple Music, Tidal and others have since introduced similar plans, sans the paid Hulu subscription.
The idea to sell both music and video as a subscription bundle isn’t new. »
