Each quarter, both Spotify and Netflix file financial results with the SEC in the United States.
These results reveal several key metrics about both companies.
One of these metrics is comparable: the number of people around the world paying for a Premium subscription (Spotify) or a ‘membership’ (Netflix).
Netflix’s ‘membership’ figure was retired in 2025, although it occasionally confirms milestone numbers.
Netflix’s membership volume does not include those customers paying a lower fee for ad-supported access to its service.
