If you are attending a US Title IV accredited college or university student in the United States, you are eligible to get Hulu (ad-supported) and Showtime as part of your Spotify Premium Student plan. As mentioned in our Spotify student discount article, you must verify your status through SheerID before enrolling in this discounted plan.
Hulu’s ad-supported plan is typically $5.99 per month on its own, and Showtime is $10.99 a month.
