This bold move positions Tidal as a truly compelling option alongside streaming giants like Spotify and Apple Music.  Previously, Tidal&#39;s lossless HiFi subscription cost $20 per month, almost double the price of Spotify&#39;s popular $10.99 plan.  Now, Tidal is dropping the price to match Spotify&#39;s exact cost.  With the HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers gone and combined into one TIDAL tier, the service will now cost you $10.99 USD per month for an individual subscription.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"gallery-f253abd2-a1ad-48b8-90ea-8539bb1a1f02\" class=\"single-image-container  image-c\" style=\"width:700px;max-width:100%\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item\">\n<picture style=\"padding-top: 38.142857142857%\"><source media=\"(max-width: 350px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 351px) and (max-width: 500px)\" ><source media=\"(min-width: 501px) and (max-width: 800px)\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TIDAL-lowers-pricing-of-its-HiFi-lossless-music-subscription-to.jpg\" alt=\"TIDAL drops the price of its lossless HiFi music subscription to match Spotify\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Tidal&#39;s current HiFi plans, which will no longer exist after the price change<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Families will benefit from the new TIDAL Family plan, which will cost $16.99 per month.  Additionally, Tidal will offer its DJ extension as an add-on for individual plans, which will cost an additional $9 per month and allow users to access, stream and mix music from the service&#39;s DJ partners.  But it&#39;s not all good news, especially for those who enjoyed TIDAL&#39;s free tier, which will no longer exist.  As per the company&#39;s announcement, anyone on the free tier will now need to sign up for a paid plan in order to continue using the service.  You <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/win\/\"   title=\"win\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">win<\/a> some.  You lose some.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s important to note that while TIDAL and Spotify now share a pricing tier, their offerings differ.  Spotify has a huge music catalog and excellent music discovery features.  It&#39;s a crowd favorite, especially for casual listeners who enjoy discovering new music.  However, Tidal&#39;s advantage is its superior lossless audio quality, making it irresistible to serious audiophiles with high-end equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, music lovers wanting lossless quality had a clear choice: Tidal or Apple Music.  Spotify&#39;s continued delays in rolling out the promised lossless tier have frustrated users.  Tidal&#39;s price change, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">from April 10<\/span>puts serious pressure on Spotify to step up its efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIDAL lowers pricing of its HiFi lossless music subscription to match Spotify\u060c While every other video and audio streaming company is fighting or increasing its ad-free subscription costs, Tidal made a surprising move today: significantly reduce the price of its high-quality lossless audio package.
