Is An Upgrade Worth It?

One major selling point of the premium plan on Boomplay is that it lets you download any content available on the platform to listen offline. Another one is the ads free experience you get.

However, upgrading to the premium plan boils down to your streaming needs and preference. If streaming music online is all you want, the free plan should suffice. However, if you enjoy listening to music offline, you definitely want to upgrade to the premium plan.
