Hulu and Spotify are joining forces to deliver both their content and music streaming services to college students for just under $5 bucks per month.
The deal combines Spotify Premium, with the basic-level Hulu plan, which includes ads. However with Hulu subscriptions costing $7.99 per month, and Spotify’s student plan costing $4.99 per month each separately, the latest offer is sure to appeal to budget-conscious students.
“In bringing Spotify and Hulu together, we’re now able to offer students – both the millions already on Spotify Premium, and those who are new to Spotify – access to the world’s best music, TV, and movie content in the simplest possible way,” Alex Norstrom, chief premium business officer at Spotify, comments. “We’re very excited to be partnering with Hulu – a like-minded company which is as focused as we are on delivering the very best in high quality streaming content.”
For now, only undergraduate students who are enrolled in a Title IV accredited college or university in the United States are eligible for the bundle.
However, Hulu indicates that this is only “the first step” both companies are taking to offer bundled services, “with offerings targeted at the broader market to follow.”
