Overview
- YouTube’s U.S. pricing page now lists Premium Lite at $8.99 per month, Individual at $15.99, Family at $26.99, and the annual plan at $159.99.
- The increases add $1 to Lite, $2 to Individual, $4 to Family, and $20 to the annual option.
- Subscribers learned of the change through direct emails shared on Reddit, rather than a public blog post or press release as in 2023.
- Premium’s features remain the same, including ad‑free viewing, downloads, background play, and access to YouTube Music’s large catalog.
- The update appears limited to the United States for now, with German prices unchanged and no confirmed timing for other markets.
