You may wish to check your email if you have a YouTube Premium family plan: Google is letting consumers know that there will be a $5 increase in the monthly fee for the service. Most users will start paying $22.99 per month for YouTube Premium in November, though there may be some flexibility. Some legacy users won’t see a price rise on their bill for several months, despite the original announcement stating that it will begin with the following billing cycle beginning on or after November 21.

The family plan is less of a bargain for smaller groups with the new pricing structure. Just two users might purchase the family package for $17.99, saving significantly compared to individual accounts. A family with two users will now save just $1 each month. However, single-user costs are still the same for the time being: individual subscriptions cost $11.99 per month, while student accounts cost $6.99. The advantages are still the same, with Premium giving users access to YouTube Music, an ad-free YouTube experience, the ability to download videos for offline viewing, and the ability to continue playing music and videos even when your phone’s screen is off or off.
