Group plan
With a group plan, the group pays for its members. All approved members get Premium without needing their own subscription, and an administrator handles buying and payment for the whole group.
What the group gets
- Premium for all approved members. As soon as the purchase is complete, every approved member gets the same access as with their own subscription. A member waiting for approval gets access when they're approved.
- One payment for the whole group. Members pay nothing themselves and only see that they have Premium through a group.
- The price follows the size of the group. When members join or leave, the price is recalculated; you don't need to change the plan yourselves. See How group billing works.
Which features the group plan gives depends on the plan, as with your own subscription. The plan's card on the plans page shows what it includes.
Who manages the group plan
Only the group's administrators see the group's Subscriptions tab in the web app and can buy, change, cancel and reactivate the group plan, change the payment method and see the payments. Group leaders and members don't see the tab. See the roles in Group roles.
To buy a group plan, the group needs:
- a verified contact email address, because it's used for the group's payments and invoices;
- a country, which decides which plans, prices and currency the group gets.
Members with their own subscription
A member who already has their own subscription doesn't need to cancel it; it continues as usual. If the member wants to stop paying themselves, they cancel their own subscription, see Cancel a subscription.
When the group plan ends
If the group plan is cancelled, members keep Premium until the end of the paid period. After that, those without their own subscription lose access to the music. The group, its members and playlists remain, and access returns when the group buys a new group plan.
If a member doesn't have Premium
- Check that the member is approved in the group and not waiting for approval.
- Ask the member to open the Subscriptions page. It should say they have Premium through one of their groups.
