In Ukraine, Spotify Premium costs about 4.80/monthagainst €12.14/month in France. With a VPN connected to a Ukrainian server, you can sign up for this discounted rate from any country. Here’s how to do it, step by step.

The free version of Spotify works for a lot of people, but the Premium package removes ads, unlocks the’offline listening and provides access to a audio quality higher. Since streaming prices have skyrocketed in recent years, using Ukraine as a proxy remains a good way to save money.

To put it in perspective, the price of a Spotify Premium subscription Individual results vary greatly depending on the country where the Spotify account is recorded. Here are a few Price Comparison with France:

Country Spotify Premium prices Economies vs. France
Ukraine ~€4.80/month -7,34 €
Argentina ~€1.65/month -10,49 €
Turkey ~€1.10/month -11,04 €
Egypt ~€1.99/month -10,15 €

An important point : in Ukraine, Spotify often bills in dollars (USD), around 4.99 $/month. The actual price in euros therefore depends on the exchange rate at the time of payment, which may cause the amount charged to vary slightly. The difference compared to the French rate is still very favorable, however.

How much does Spotify Premium cost in Ukraine?

In Ukraine, the’Spotify Premium Individual Subscription revolves around 205 UAH per monthor approximately 4,80 €. In France, the same flat rate has gone up to 12.14/month since the increase linked to the 2024 CNM tax. The difference is therefore enormous.

Here is a table comparing the prices of each subscription plan in France and Ukraine:

Plan Prices in France (€) Prices in Ukraine (UAH) Prices in Ukraine (€) Estimated Savings (€)
Individual 12,14 € 205 UAH ~4,80 € -7,34 €

Family 18,21 € 335 UAH ~7,60 € -10,61 €
Student 6,06 € 105 UAH ~2,35 € -3,71 €

The Ukrainian tariffs are still much more appealing, whether you choose the offer Individual, Duo Where Family.

You can keep your current Spotify account, so there's no need to create a new one.

Open Spotify in your browser (not the mobile app), with the VPN still active. Then go to the account management page to change the region.

Attention : An active VPN isn't always enough. To take advantage of the Ukrainian rate, you'll need to manually change the country associated with your account. If the price doesn't update, delete the Cookies from the site and reloads the page.

Step 4: Sign up for the Premium subscription and pay for it

Once you've changed the region, click Upgrade to Premium and choose your subscription. This is where the method of payment becomes tricky.

Spotify Check that the country on your card matches the one associated with the account. A French bank card can therefore be rejected, since it is linked to France and not to Ukraine. In this case, the most reliable payment method remains a Ukrainian prepaid card.

So plan for a local payment method to complete your Premium subscription with peace of mind. You can cancel at any time from your account settings.
