Well, it's they're paid version of YT that gets rid of those ads that have gotten completely out of control, their premium content (it ain't Netflix yet) as well as adding in Googles Music streaming service on top of it. Just sign up (and cancel) for three free months.

    It includes something similar to Spotify, and if you watch any youtube videos the person who posted them gets some money, not sure how much.

    Another way around ads is download Firefox and install adblocker and watch via their site

    Handy if you aren't techy to root the phone

    I assume works for iOS

    I am seeing 11.99 for premium and 17.99 for a family of 6

    Actually the 6 works out ok if a shared system is set up. €3 per user per month ain't bad.

    YouTube premium is 15.99 and includes YouTube Music Premuim (service which will eventually replace Google Play Music) + ad add free YouTube + Original YouTube Content.

    YouTube Music Premuim is €9.99 and the family plan is €15 odd like Play Music, Spotify, Apple music ect.

    Why didn't you just sign up for Youtube Premium which includes Premium Music?

    €11.99 per month??? Per year maybe, I use YT a lot but there's practically nothing in there I'd actually pay for.

    If you have an Android phone then have a look at Youtube Vanced. No ads & it will play in the background.

    If there are just a few YouTube channels you regularly follow, a better option would be to become a Patron of them if they provide the option. Many creators only charge $1 per month ($1.23 inc. VAT) to get ad-free and early access to their latest YouTube videos on Patreon. Most of that $1 goes directly to the creator. Each video also gets a Patreon-only comment feed, which means you can post a comment or ask a question without it getting buried several pages deep below the "Top rated" comments on the public YouTube video.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,915 ✭✭✭masterboy123


    It's asking my bank card details when I try to get YouTube premium.

    Will they charge me some fees when I cancel after 3 months? Or if some deposit will be taken from my account?

    No just sign up and cancel straight away. You'll still have the free trial for 3 months and won't be charged.

    Oh cool.
    Thank you

    I got it now. There is a cool feature to play YouTube on background while using other apps and also offline songs once you download them on the app.

    To clear up the confusion with pricing, there actually is two prices for Ireland for both premium and just the standard music plan.

    Apple take a 15%-30% cut from payments made though apps in their App Store. They’re very strict on imposing it, so most companies selling subscription services will pass the 30% charge onto the customer. Hence why there are two different prices, depending on if you use the website or iOS Youtube app.

    If you plan on actually sticking with the subscription and paying for it then sign up though the YouTube website. If you’re just in it for the trial then it doesn’t matter if you sign up through either one. One benefit of the app for iOS is you can pay with Apple Pay if you have it setup so it’s much easier to sign up for the trial.
