How to split a Spotify subscription in Lithuania
A practical guide to splitting the cost of a Spotify Premium subscription with friends or family in Lithuania. Covers Family and Duo plans, the "same address" rule, and how Mokam Kartu handles the money — without anyone linking a card.
Which kind of sharing?
This page is about splitting a Spotify subscription — several people sharing the cost of one Premium account. It's NOT about sharing playlists with friends (that's done inside the Spotify app — "Share" button in the playlist menu).
Spotify Premium plans in Lithuania 2026
Plans as of May 2026. Confirm directly on Spotify — prices change occasionally.
| Plan | Price per month | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Individual | ~€9.99 | One user |
| Premium Duo | ~€13.99 | Two people at the same address |
| Premium Family | ~€16.99 | Up to six people at the same address |
| Premium Student | ~€5.99 | One student (with verification) |
On Family and Duo plans, Spotify requires that all members live at the same address and occasionally asks to confirm it. That matters — see the next section.
How Spotify Family actually works
Spotify Family allows up to six members, but there's a real catch: all members have to live at the same address. Spotify periodically asks members to confirm the address (via in-app GPS check), and if there's a mismatch it can remove the member from the plan. This isn't a "share with anyone" package — it's a "share with your household" package.
In practice most families use Family in the narrower sense: spouse, kids, roommates, or parents living together. If you want a friend in another city on your plan — that's against Spotify's terms, and their access can be revoked. Mokam Kartu doesn't decide how you use Family; we just help split the cost cleanly among the members Spotify allows you to include.
When the Duo plan is the better choice
If you're splitting with just one other person — partner, spouse, child — Duo at ~€13.99 is cheaper than Family and requires the same address too. Two people pay ~€7 each — about the same per person as Family (~€2.83/person at full capacity), but without the extra-member setup. Mokam Kartu handles the split either way.
How to split the cost in Mokam Kartu
The steps are the same whether you're splitting Family, Duo, or pooling several Individual plans:
- Create a plan called "Spotify Family" (or whatever you're splitting). Enter the total monthly cost in euros (Family ~€16.99 or Duo ~€13.99).
- Invite up to five members by email. The Mokam Kartu plan holds up to six (host + 5) — same as Spotify Family.
- Set up your payment methods once: revolut.me handle, IBAN with recipient name, or phone number.
- On each member's monthly date, Mokam Kartu emails them with their share and a payment link.
- They pay you direct. You mark it received. Late payments trigger a reminder the next morning.
Spotify keeps charging your card for the subscription itself. Mokam Kartu only tracks who owes what — we never see anyone's card.
What you actually save
Splitting Spotify Family at ~€16.99/month across X people:
| Group size | Each pays per month | Saved per year vs solo Individual (~€9.99/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Two (Duo plan ~€13.99) | ~€7.00 | ~€36 / year each |
| Three (Family ~€16.99) | ~€5.66 | ~€52 / year each |
| Four (Family) | ~€4.25 | ~€69 / year each |
| Six (Family, full) | ~€2.83 | ~€86 / year each |
This assumes all members pass Spotify's address check. If a member lives elsewhere, Spotify may drop them and the math changes.
Compared to Sharesub or GamsGo
Marketplaces like Sharesub or GamsGo offer a seat in a stranger's Spotify Family for €3–4/month. Same catch as Netflix marketplaces: you're sharing with people at different addresses, which trips Spotify's GPS check; you see each other's profiles; if the owner removes you or the address check fails, access vanishes overnight. Mokam Kartu doesn't connect you with strangers — it splits the cost of one subscription among people you already know, within the rules Spotify allows.
Common questions
- Will Mokam Kartu tell Spotify we're splitting?
- No. Spotify sees one subscription, one card, in your name. Mokam Kartu is invisible to Spotify — we just keep the ledger for who owes you what. Spotify's address check uses members' GPS, not our data.
- Does everyone really have to live at the same address?
- Per Spotify's Family and Duo terms — yes, everyone has to be registered at the same address. If you share with someone living elsewhere, their access can be revoked. Mokam Kartu doesn't change that rule; we just help split the cost among the people Spotify allows you to include.
- How often does Spotify check the address?
- Periodically — Spotify doesn't publish the schedule. Some members are verified once at signup and never re-prompted; others get GPS confirmation requests later. If verification fails, Spotify usually offers the member a different plan or removes them.
- Do I need to add a card to Mokam Kartu?
- No. Neither the host nor members link a card to Mokam Kartu. The host keeps paying Spotify from their card; members pay the host via Revolut, IBAN, or phone transfer.
- What if a member skips a payment?
- The request stays pending and a reminder goes out the next morning. You decide when to mark it received. Spotify doesn't stop the plan — it's in your name and stays active.
