We all know about YouTube and likely use it every single day. But what about YouTube Premium? That\u2019s YouTube\u2019s paid, subscription service, and it\u2019s not as popular as YouTube itself is. Which is not a surprise, since it is paid. But what all is included in YouTube Premium, and what exactly is it?
\nWell, in this article, we are going to go over everything you need to know about YouTube Premium. Including what is included, pricing, what countries it is available in, and so much more. So you can make a better, more informed decision about whether you should sign up.
\nWhat is YouTube Premium?
\nYouTube Premium was born, originally in November of 2014, as YouTube Red. It was rebranded a few years later (in 2018) as YouTube Premium. Which added more perks, and also included YouTube Music. Which was not even a service in 2014 when YouTube Red came out.
\nOriginally, YouTube Red was really just a place for some YouTube Originals and included a subscription to Google Play Music.
\nWhen YouTube Premium launched in 2018, Google added a number of other features and swapped out Google Play Music for YouTube Music. It also raised the price to $11.99 per month, and given everything that is included, it is well more than worth that price.
\nWhat benefits are included with YouTube Premium?
\nThere are five main features with YouTube Premium:
\nAd-free videos
\nBackground Playback
\nOffline playback
\nYouTube Music Premium
\nYouTube Originals<\/p>\n
The first three features are what most people sign up for YouTube Premium for, especially the ad-free experience. Since YouTube has really littered its platform with a ton of ads, making it impossible to watch a ton of videos on the platform.
\nBeing able to download videos to watch offline is also a really popular feature. Especially if you do a lot of traveling. Downloading videos to watch you\u2019re on a plane, or on the subway, is definitely very helpful.
\nHow much does YouTube Premium cost?
\nYouTube Premium costs $11.99 per month.
\nLike most other streaming services, there are family and student plans available. For students, it\u2019ll cost you $6.99\/month, and for a family plan, it\u2019s $17.99\/month. With the family plan, you can add up to five other people. Similar to how it works for YouTube TV and YouTube Music.
\nFor the student plan, you will need to do some kind of verification to prove that you are indeed a student. Otherwise, everyone would sign up for the student plan and get that discount. Since it is nearly half the price.
\nCan I get YouTube Music Premium only?
\nWhile YouTube Music Premium is included in YouTube Premium, you can still buy it by itself. Google offers the service for $9.99 per month, when it is not inside YouTube Premium. Which, if you just want a music streaming service, that\u2019s right in par with the competition. But for $2 more per month, you can get ad-free YouTube, which is honestly worth it.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify and Apple Music are all priced at $9.99\/month. So it\u2019s the same as the competition. And it also has a family plan for $14.99\/month like the competition.

\nCan I still use my subscription if I travel to another country?
\nImagine you live in the US, and subscribe to YouTube Premium, and you travel to another country for vacation or something. Can you still use YouTube Premium there? It really depends on where you travel to. If you travel to another country that has YouTube Premium, then you can keep using your subscription as usual.
\nBut, if you go to a country that doesn\u2019t have YouTube Premium \u2013 like Russia, here\u2019s what happens:
\n\u201cYou won\u2019t be allowed to download videos, videos won\u2019t play in the background, and you may see ads. Any videos that you\u2019ve downloaded before traveling will be available offline for 30 days.\u201d
\nSo the sort answer, is yes you can still use it. But you may not get the same experience if you enter a country where YouTube Premium is not available.
\nIs it worth it, to sign up?
\nYes, totally worth it. Especially if you do watch a lot of YouTube. I know I watch around 3-4 hours a day of YouTube and not having to watch ads is a huge bonus. The other features that this subscription has, I don\u2019t even use. Though, if we ever return to travel like before the pandemic, I\u2019ll likely use the offline playback a lot more.
\nIf you already use YouTube Music, then this bundle is worth the cost. As you\u2019re paying literally two dollars more to get ad-free YouTube. And that alone is worth the extra cost here. Of course, if you\u2019re like me and are not a fan of YouTube Music, then it might be a bit harder of a decision. Paying $12 per month for ad-free YouTube is still quite a bit.<\/p>\n
The best way to find out if this is worth it for you is to go ahead and sign up for one of the free trial bonuses. Google typically gives out two to six months of free trials for different things. Giving you plenty of time to try out the service. Then you can tap on your profile picture, then tap on \u201cYour Premium Benefits\u201d in the YouTube app, to see how you\u2019ve used these benefits and whether it is worth the price.
