Jay Z's streaming service says no increase in its subscription fee

Rumors have been going around today that Tidal raised its subscription prices, but that isn’t true.

Tidal has been charging $12.99 for Tidal Premium and $25.99 for Tidal HIFI when you sign up through the iOS app to make up for Apple’s subscription fee, according to the company.

Apple takes 30 per cent of the revenue from every subscription made through apps in the in the App Store, and Tidal has made that known to the public for some time.

"The reason the in-app purchase subscription cost differs from the subscription price on TIDAL.com is due to the Apple service fee imposed for using their service," wrote Tidal.
