  "account": "Spotify offers multiple Premium subscription plans for users in the United States who desire an ad-free and offline listening experience. The Individual plan, priced at $12.99 per month, is available for a single user and grants access to all Premium features. Students, enrolled in an accredited higher education institution, can enjoy 50 percent off the Individual plan, priced at $6.99 per month, for up to four years. This limited-time offer also includes access to Hulu's ad-supported tier, valued at $1.99 per month. The Duo plan, priced at $18.99 per month, caters to two people living together, though this requirement is not strictly enforced. Each member receives their own account, with a shared 15-hour audiobook listening time per month allocated to the account manager. The Family plan, available at $21.99 per month, is designed for up to six family members. One family member, designated as the plan manager, pays for the subscription, manages members, and sets explicit content filters. This plan provides 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month for the plan manager.",
