Audio streaming platform Spotify is set to launch in 85 new markets, including Kenya bringing the service to more than a billion extra people. Spotify will offer both free and premium plans for the new markets, although it has not divulged details regarding their pricing yet. Free users typically have restricted access to music coupled with ad interruptions, while premium users get a smoother, ad-free experience. Spotify Premium is usually pegged on the billing of the country they chose when registering for the service. The Kenyan market already has several music streaming apps including BoomPlay, Deezer and Apple Music.
