Music subscription service Rdio has officially unveiled its new family pricing plans.
As announced last month, the new plans will let families or households have multiple Rdio Unlimited accounts under one payment interface. Rdio is offering a discount on the first two accounts that a user adds to their plan, but says subscribers can add as many sub-accounts to their plan as they want.
Rdio breaks pricing down for its family plans as follows:
Two accounts, each with access to Rdio Unlimited – $17.99 per month
Three accounts, each with access to Rdio Unlimited – $22.99 per month
Additional Rdio Unlimited accounts are $9.99 each
Rdio Unlimited gives users unlimited access to Rdio on the Mac, the web browser, connected devices and on mobile devices like the iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7.
Each account on a family plan will have its own collection, custom stations, followers and playlists.
Rdio is hoping that having more flexible subscription plans will help its service stand out from its competitors, which include MOG, Rhapsody and the recent-stateside entrant, Spotify.
We like the pricing plans, but wonder how many families have enough users to justify the savings. Still, if you and a spouse — or some roommates — want to each have your own Rdio account, the new bundles are a good deal.
