Most Spotify transfer tools are built for moving music between different services. Spotify to Apple Music. YouTube Music to Spotify. That kind of thing.
But what if you just need to move your library from one Spotify account to another?
That's a different problem. And most tools handle it badly, or not at all.
We tested the four main options: TuneMyMusic, Soundiiz, FreeYourMusic, and Tuneferry. Here's what we found.

TuneMyMusic
TuneMyMusic is the most well-known transfer tool. It works well for cross-platform moves - Spotify to Apple Music is its bread and butter.
For Spotify-to-Spotify, it's limited. You can transfer playlists, but you have to do them one at a time by pasting URLs. There's no way to connect two Spotify accounts simultaneously and move your full library. Liked songs, followed artists, saved albums, and podcasts aren't supported.
The free tier caps at 500 tracks per transfer. After that, it's around $5 per month. If you forget to cancel, you're paying for a tool you used once.
Good for moving a few playlists between services. Not built for full Spotify-to-Spotify library migration.
Soundiiz
Soundiiz supports the widest range of platforms. It's good for sync features - keeping playlists in sync across Spotify and Apple Music, for example. The Premium tier can transfer liked songs, followed artists, and saved albums across platforms.
For Spotify-to-Spotify, it gets awkward. You can't connect two Spotify accounts at the same time. The workaround is to export from Account A, disconnect it, connect Account B, then import. It works, but it's a manual multi-step process that's easy to mess up.
Soundiiz can export playlists to CSV, JSON, XML, and other formats, and can re-import them. That's useful for playlist-level backups, but it doesn't cover your full library in a single file.
At around $4.50 per month (USD), it's a subscription - you pay every month whether you use it or not.
Best for syncing playlists across multiple services. The Spotify-to-Spotify workflow exists but isn't smooth.
FreeYourMusic
FreeYourMusic is a desktop app (not browser-based). It does support connecting two Spotify accounts, which puts it ahead of TuneMyMusic and Soundiiz for this use case.
It handles playlists, liked songs, followed artists, and saved albums. Podcasts aren't included. You can export playlists to CSV or XLSX files, though there's no full library backup or restore from file.
The desktop app means your data goes through their software on your machine. Not a server, but still a third-party application handling your Spotify credentials.
Pricing is in euros and adds up: around EUR 15 per quarter, EUR 40 per year, or EUR 200 for a lifetime license.
Covers most of the library for Spotify-to-Spotify transfers. Missing podcasts and a full backup/restore feature.
Tuneferry
Tuneferry is built specifically for Spotify-to-Spotify transfers. Connect both accounts in your browser, pick what to move, transfer.
It covers the full library: playlists, liked songs, followed artists, saved albums, and podcast subscriptions. Podcasts are the one category no other tool handles. There's a precise mode for liked songs that preserves the original save order.
The backup feature saves your entire library to a local .tuneferry file - not just playlists, but liked songs, artists, albums, and podcasts in one file. You can restore from it to any Spotify account later, even if the original account is gone.
Everything runs in the browser. No data leaves your device, no server in the middle. You authenticate directly with Spotify's OAuth.
$6.99 one-time payment for 30 days of access. No subscription. The free tier lets you transfer one playlist to test it.
Handles the full Spotify-to-Spotify migration, plus backup and restore. Doesn't do cross-platform - it's Spotify-only by design.
Which one should you pick?
Moving from Spotify to Apple Music (or another service)? TuneMyMusic or Soundiiz. They're built for cross-platform and handle it well.
Moving everything from one Spotify account to another? Tuneferry or FreeYourMusic. Both connect two Spotify accounts at once. FreeYourMusic handles playlists, liked songs, artists, and albums. Tuneferry adds podcasts, a full library backup/restore to a single file, and runs in the browser with no data leaving your device.
Just need to move a couple of playlists? Any of them will work. TuneMyMusic's free tier handles 500 tracks, which covers most individual playlists.
The pricing math
Here's what each option costs for a one-time Spotify-to-Spotify migration:
- TuneMyMusic: ~$5 for the first month, then you cancel (if you remember)
- Soundiiz: ~$4.50 for the first month, then you cancel
- FreeYourMusic: ~EUR 15 for the first quarter (minimum purchase)
- Tuneferry: $6.99 once, done
TuneMyMusic and Soundiiz are cheaper on paper, but neither can connect two Spotify accounts at the same time, and TuneMyMusic can't transfer liked songs. FreeYourMusic covers most of the library but costs more for a quarterly license and doesn't handle podcasts. Tuneferry is the only option that covers everything in one payment with no subscription to cancel.
Common questions
Can I use the free tier of each tool to avoid paying? Partially. TuneMyMusic gives you 500 tracks, Soundiiz gives 200 per playlist, FreeYourMusic gives 600 tracks, Tuneferry gives one full playlist. None of the free tiers cover a full library migration.
Do any of these tools store my data? TuneMyMusic and Soundiiz process your music data through their servers. FreeYourMusic runs on your machine as a desktop app, so your data stays local but goes through their software. Tuneferry runs entirely in the browser with no server in the middle - your data stays on your device.
Will my Discover Weekly and algorithm transfer? No. None of these tools can transfer listening history or algorithm preferences. That's a Spotify limitation. Your recommendations rebuild as you listen on the new account.
