I must be missing something here with regards to revenue. Spotify has 15 million users, 4 million of whom are paid subscribers. So 11 million free users.
They have two paid plans: $60/year and $120/year.
If we assume the following structure:
11000000 free users @ $0.50 ad revenue per year = $ 5,500,000
4000000 mid users @ $60/year = $240,000,000
0 top users @ $120/year = $ 0
For a total of $245.5 million in revenue, already more than reported here. And those proportions for their two paid plans are clearly ridiculous. But even if their free users provide $0 in revenue _total_, they still only have 2% of paid users on their top plan.
- reitzensteinm 14y agoYou're not taking growth into account - they're still more than doubling each year. You'd have to use the average user count to do math properly, not today's user count.
- alexmuller 14y agoAh, dead on! Those user figures are from August this year but the revenue is listed as 2011. Thanks.
