Spotify’s free tier just got a little worse.
The company recently added another popular feature behind its Spotify Premium paywall: song lyrics. As many users have noted on Reddit (via Android Authority), to see song lyrics, you now need to have a Spotify Premium subscription, which starts at $10.99 ($5.99 for students).
Some users report that song lyrics are not completely unavailable in the free tier; instead, there is a monthly limit on lyrics for non-Premium subscribers.

Spotify’s free tier costs nothing, but it contains ads and doesn’t allow users to download or play songs in any order, among other limitations. On the other hand, the company has also increased the prices of its Premium subscription tiers, with reports claiming that it will get even more expensive this year.

For comparison, Apple Music doesn’t offer a free tier, and neither does Tidal (there used to be a free Tidal tier, but it was recently canceled). YouTube Music offers a free tier, and it’s in many ways less restrictive than Spotify’s and includes the ability to see song lyrics.
