This article covers all the bases, so you access Hulu’s massive library instantly, whichever plan you decide to go with.

Does Spotify Premium Come with Hulu?
Yes! However, you need to be subscribed to the Spotify Premium Student plan to enjoy the complementary Hulu (with Ads) plan.
What makes this package truly special is the fact that Spotify’s student plan in itself is priced at half the usual subscription cost. As a normal Premium member, you have to pay $11.99 in a given month. But a Premium Student plan is available for a reduced price of $5.99 and includes a Hulu’s ad-supported plan, which otherwise sets you back $7.99 monthly.
