YouTube, like almost all online services, has a paywall. This gives you some nice features for a fixed price per month. But is YouTube Premium actually worth your money?
YouTube Premium was launched in 2014. At that time the service was called YouTube Red. The paid service has now grown into a nice collection of useful functions.
We explain to you what you can expect from YouTube Premium, what different subscriptions there are and exactly how much it will cost you.
The benefits of YouTube Premium
YouTube has put a lot of thought into its paid service. With Premium you enjoy the best features. This way you can watch videos without ads, but you can also watch videos while you are offline. Premium gives you the option to download videos so you can watch your favorite movies on the go.
Another wonderful option of YouTube Premium is the audio mode. The feature allows you to listen to music and podcasts without having to load the video. So even if you have a bad connection or can’t play videos properly, you can still enjoy videos.

With Premium you also get access to YouTube Music, a major competitor of Spotify. The service allows you to listen to millions of songs without ads and download them for offline play.
You can choose from these subscriptions
YouTube’s paid feature has different subscription options. Which one suits you best depends on various factors. We will go through each option with you.
First of all the individual subscription. This is obvious for users who only want to use YouTube Premium. This version costs 11.99 euros per month.
There is for young people a student subscription. Anyone who is registered at an institution of higher education is eligible for this. This version costs 6.99 euros per month and is valid for a maximum of 4 years.
Then you have the family subscription for a maximum of six people in one household. You pay 17.99 per month for this.
It is also possible to take out a subscription only for YouTube Music. With this option you only have the benefits of the music service and the other advantages of YouTube Premium are canceled. Then you pay 6.99 per month.
Is Premium still necessary?
If you don’t have the money for it, don’t worry. YouTube is making more and more Premium features available to non-paying members. For example, at the end of last year it became possible to hum a song to find out exactly which song you are looking for.
You can also recently enjoy a function that equalizes the volume of each video and AI-driven voice recognition. As a free user you get a number of nice new features. We give you even more details in the article below:
