Spotify x Hulu: A Student's Dream Team

Last week, I talked about Hulu when comparing the various options we have for streaming content. Shortly after, students across the nation received news that Hulu was joining Spotify for student pricing.


For a while now, us students have reaped the benefits of Spotify Premium for Students which costs a measly $4.99 a month. Now, we can enjoy Hulu as a part of the package, costing a total of $4.99 when before it was $9.99 for Spotify and $7.99 for Hulu ($11.99 for Ad Free).

The benefits of this bundle are incredible for Hulu, and Spotify, too. Students calculate every penny they spend since usually, they're on a tight budget for the semester. This means cutting out extraneous luxuries so we can afford to eat out and attend events and just generally make those pesky utility bills. But now with this bundle, students are scrambling to get this deal to enjoy maximum entertainment.

The marketing aspect of this move is incredible. It shows that Hulu wants their service to be as accessible as possible, making it a product for everyone. Those who maybe didn't have Spotify before are now more willing to indulge because the package is a much better deal for the price, it's practically a steal considering the student price didn't rise from $4.99 and it now includes Hulu.

Users, also, will probably stay on with both Spotify and Hulu after graduating because of the nature of the subscription. It's easier to let the payments keep going, even if they're higher, and to enjoy the product we've been enjoying for years, than to go through the effort of cancelling the subscription. It's hard to let go once you've already had it.
