Starting Tuesday, Spotify Premium subscribers will now receive access to ad-supported Hulu at no additional cost, signaling the latest partnership between the world’s biggest streaming service and the streaming home of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
New Spotify Premium customers can get a free 30-day trial, then are charged $10 per month for both services. The offer is also available to existing Spotify Premium subscribers, who are able to immediately activate their Hulu accounts.
Currently, there is a Spotify Premium Deal that includes Hulu (Ad-Supported) or that INCLUDES advertisements. I believe that this is a great deal, however, I already have a subscription to Hulu (Ad-Free) and if I were subcribe to this package deal of Spotify Premium with Hulu (Ad-Supported) unforunately, I will lose the ad-free benefit from the Hulu subscription as it will have to be downgraded to the Ad-Supported/Ads-Included version of Hulu with the Spotify Premium account. For the Hulu with ads plan and the Hulu with no ads plan, the service gives you a free Hulu trial for 30 days. If you don’t cancel the service before the free trial ends, you will be charged $5.99. If you’re subscribed to Hulu (ad-supported) plan without any premium network add-ons (e.g. HBO), and you pay Hulu directly and not through a third party (e.g. Roku or Amazon), your existing Hulu account can be included with your Spotify Premium Student subscription, now with Hulu and SHOWTIME.
The $10 per month combo package comes almost a year after Hulu and Spotify offered a similar package for $13 per month last year. (Customers paying the old prices will be automatically migrated to the new prices.) Hulu recently dropped the price of its ad-supported streaming from $7.99 per month to $5.99 per month; its “no commercials” plan remains $11.99 per month.

Spotify Free Hulu Offer
One hangup, as The Verge pointed out, is that customers won’t receive Showtime — something that is included in Spotify’s $5-per-month student plans when they sign up for Hulu’s ad-supported streaming.

Spotify Premium subscribers will be “restricted,” per The Verge, from adding HBO or Showtime to their free Hulu service, meaning they’ll need to download and pay for the individual apps to watch the latest seasons of “Game of Thrones” or “Billions.”

The companies said the offer is available until June 10 or as long as supplies last.
