YouTube Android iOS Online services Google

YouTube Premium has just become even more expensive in the US. The price hike has already taken effect for new subscribers, while existing ones will see it in early June.

The individual plan is now $15.99 per month or $159.99 per year, up from $13.99 and $139.99, respectively. The family plan is now $26.99 per month, up from $22.99. The student plan is $8.99, up from $7.99.

YouTube Premium gets even more expensive

The recently relaunched YouTube Premium Lite jumped to $8.99 per month too, from $7.99. While the full Premium experience removes ads, lets you play videos in the background, enables downloads, and lets you access YouTube Music, the Lite version doesn't have YouTube Music included and can still show ads on music videos, Shorts, and in search.
