We get it. You love weird rap covers about Fortniteand your partner loves Fiona Apple. Spotify's newest subscription plan can hopefully bring the two of you together, despite your divergent tastes.

Spotify Premium Duo is a new fork in the music and podcast empire's paid subscription road. As its name suggests, Premium Duo is for, well, duos who live together. Two people who live at the same address can share one subscription for $12.99 per month, which is a bit cheaper than the $14.99 family plan Spotify used to offer on top of its individual plan.

It's available in 55 markets globally, including the United States, as of Wednesday.

Premium Duo isn't hugely different from Premium Family, but there are a couple feature differences you should know about. The older family plan is more expensive because as many as six people can have their own premium accounts with one subscription. Premium Duo is just for two, and those two will get access to a shared Duo Mix, which will attempt to blend their musical tastes together into one playlist that will update over time. There's a Family Mix on the other plan that does the same thing but for more people.

Premium Family also grants access to the Spotify Kids app, which Duo subscribers theoretically won't need.

The big thing here is the price. Previously, if a cohabitating couple or two roommates wanted to share an account, it was a $15 monthly bill being split two ways. Now you can do the same thing while splitting $13 per month two ways. It's not a game-changer, but it makes more sense in a world where plenty of people live with a partner without necessarily starting a family.
