YouTube Premium subscribers in India will now have to pay more for their ad-free viewing experience. Google has increased the prices for all YouTube Premium plans, including Individual, Family, and Student subscriptions. The price hike is significant, with the Family plan seeing the biggest jump.
New YouTube Premium Prices
The revised YouTube Premium prices are already live on the platform’s website. The changes affect both recurring monthly subscriptions and prepaid plans. Here’s a breakdown of the new pricing:
- Individual (Monthly): Increased from Rs. 129 to Rs. 149 per month.
- Family (Monthly): Increased from Rs. 189 to Rs. 299 per month.
- Student (Monthly): Increased from Rs. 79 to Rs. 89 per month.
- Prepaid plans have also seen similar price increases.
YouTube Premium Benefits
Despite the price hike, YouTube Premium continues to offer several benefits to subscribers:
- Ad-free video streaming
- Background play for videos and music
- Picture-in-picture mode
- Enhanced high-definition video streaming
- Trial Period for New Users
New users can still take advantage of a one-month free trial for any of the YouTube Premium plans before committing to a paid subscription. However, after the trial period, they will have to pay the new, higher prices.
Conclusion
The YouTube Premium price hike in India is likely to disappoint many users, especially those who rely on the Family plan for sharing the subscription with family members. However, the service still provides a valuable ad-free experience for those willing to pay the premium.
