Music only: Audiobooks and podcasts are not available to managed accounts. Additionally, certain songs may be unavailable, for example those with sexually explicit lyrics, reflecting an approach shaped with our Spotify Safety Advisory Council.
Limited interactivity: Managed account profiles are private and not searchable or discoverable. They also cannot search for or discover other Spotify users or take part in Jam and Blend.
Age-restricted features: Managed accounts can’t access age-restricted features like Messages or music videos tagged as 18+ by rights holders.
Automatic search protection: Searches and search suggestions for terms commonly associated with age-inappropriate content are prevented.
Advertising: Managed accounts on our Premium Family plan have ad-free music listening. While managed accounts on our free service do have advertising, the experience is limited to informational ads about Spotify features and there are no direct purchase links.

Have been exploring Spotify’s ‘Managed Account’ feature. This is an alternative to Spotify Kids. It allows children to access Spotify without an email address or a full account.
Kids are free to add songs to favorites, create playlists, and receive their own personalized recommendations based on their listening habits, without influencing the main account holders’ listening history or algorithm. That separation means parents won’t find their Discover playlists or Wrapped results being ruined because their child has been blasting the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack on repeat.

Although Spotify Kids allowed you to share playlists, the Managed Accounts allows children to actually create their own, it would seem.
