Should I use stats.fm?

Plus - stats.fm

· 2 days ago

Buy Plus if you're a music nerd who wants all-time listening stats and leaderboards beyond Spotify Wrapped. Skip it if you only check stats occasionally — Spotify's native listening stats and the free tier cover casual use.

Great year-round all-time Spotify stats, but Spotify's own listening stats now cover much of it and Plus prices rose.
