YouTube Premium family plan subscribers brace yourselves: your $17.99 monthly subscription is about to go up in price.
As revealed by emails sent out to current subscribers, the $17.99 family plan is going up to $22.99. That’s nearly a 30% increase. UK users will see a price hike from £17.99 to £19.99.
In the email, Google notes that “to continue delivering great service and features,” a price increase is necessary.
At present, it doesn’t seem like basic Premium plans are getting a price hike, but we’ll continue to monitor.
