The increase makes Spotify the biggest paid music streaming service in the world, with Apple Music as its main competitor with only 27 million users per month.
Unlike other music streaming services, Spotify has a free service that can be used without a time limit, which may be one of the key factors behind the app’s popularity. Other streaming platforms typically offer a one to three month trial period. (asw)
