Spotify’s announcement of its entry into 80 new markets including Kenya was met with excitement, with music fans and artists excited for various reasons.

The audio streaming giant is eyeing a billion potential new users across Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The service runs on a freemium model – with free and premium tiers. In the free tier, users have to put up with ad breaks when streaming their favorite music and podcasts.

The premium tiers offer an ad-free experience, and unrestricted access to Spotify’s global catalogue. With various socio-economic factors considered, pricing for the service varies from country to country.

In Kenya, Spotify is offering prepaid plans in addition to different premium subscriptions.
