Close to $15.00 monthly bill?

Question / Partial Rant

(I’m on a individual premium subscription if that matters.)

Does anyone pay close to $15.00 monthly? The payment was auto drafted, and I see it has been increased from $12.98 last month, to this month being $14.09?

I understand increases are normal, but seriously? I received an email ‘warning’ they’ll increase my payment from $11.99 to $12.99. Prior to the email they already had been charging me $12.98 for MONTHS.

In the email warning me they will charge $12.99 to actually charging me $14.09- does that deal with taxes or something ?? I’m really uneducated.

Also, on the app in my ‘Payment’ information they have my subscription renewing as of 03/03/2026 and from that date I’ll start to be charged $12.99 but I’ve BEEN charged $12.98 for MONTHS, and they recently charged me $14.09 this month.

Am I being taken advantage of or just being stipid? Any help or information is appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone recommend something better? I love my Spotify & have thousands of songs, but that’s an absurd payment.

Is Apple Music really worth it? I’ve had Spotify for over 15 ish years.
