Give your bank account a tissue; YouTube Premium will soon become more expensive for grandfathered users،
A price increase is always bad news, and here we are again telling you about another price increase. As 9to5Google According to reports, YouTube has started sending emails to users with grandfathered YouTube Premium accounts, informing them that their subscription fee will be $13.99 starting in January.
In July, YouTube increased the price of YouTube Premium by $2, forcing subscribers to pay $13.99 per month instead of $11.99. However, at the time it also announced that users with grandfathered accounts such as those from Google Play Music or YouTube Red would not start paying the higher price for “at least three more months.” This was because YouTube wanted to show its appreciation for the loyalty of past users.
That is, grandfathered users, who currently pay $7.99 or $9.99 per month for YouTube Premium, will have to shell out $13.99 every month, just like the rest of us. And we completely understand how you feel if you are a user with a grandfathered account, because the difference between $7.99 and $13.99 is very significant.
As for why YouTube decided to increase the price of its Premium subscription, the company said in July that the price increase allows it to continue offering quality service and features.
What are my options?
Well, the annual contribution of the individual plan of YouTube Premium is $139.99, so you'll save $27 if you pay for the whole year. Alternatively, you can cancel your subscription and opt for another streaming service. For example, Spotify's Premium Individual plan costs $10.99 per month, and if you sign up now you'll get a 3-month free trial. However, we should also note that YouTube Premium lets you stream videos on millions of topics and even download clips to watch online, something its competitors like Spotify and Tidal don't offer. So if you choose to live YouTube Premiumyou will also lose this advantage.
