Spotify Review 2026
Spotify is still the streaming service most people start with, and in 2026 it remains one of the most complete. The catalogue covers well over a hundred million tracks, plus podcasts and audiobooks, and the app looks and works the same on a phone, a laptop, a TV or a smart speaker.
What works well
Recommendations are the strongest part. The weekly discovery mixes and daily playlists learn from what you save and skip, and after a couple of weeks they get noticeably better. Collaborative playlists are handy for trips and parties, and switching playback between devices takes one tap.
What could be better
The free plan has adverts and limited skips on mobile, and audio quality on the basic tiers is good rather than outstanding. Prices have also crept up over the last few years, so the family and duo plans are the better value.
Verdict
For most listeners Spotify is an easy choice: a huge library, smart recommendations and apps that just work. Try the free plan first and upgrade if the adverts get in the way.
