So… how much is YouTube premium actually?
13.99 on Android and Browser.
18.99 on Apple because 30% of that price goes directly to Apple first.
Don’t buy it through Apple. The prince increases to cover the percentage Apple takes through Apple Pay. Just buy it directly from the YouTube website.
Lol that’s pretty funny, side note I just wish you could buy a year at a time I hate monthly payments
Your Current Membership: You signed up for $15.99 per month through Apple. This is a more expensive option because Apple takes a cut, but once you subscribe they usually try to keep your subscription at the same cost even if the “new user” price goes up later. They’ll only change your existing subscription after a few price changes.
Apple Membership: $18.99 a month. This is the price new subscribers pay. It has the Apple tax.
Web Membership: $13.99 a month. This is how much it costs without Apple’s cut. If the percentages stayed the same this means that your existing membership probably would’ve cost around $11.99 if you hadn’t subscribed through Apple.
I’m a day one subscriber to premium and it’s way better to buy it in a browser. Worth every penny.
That is what I did.
You can still use it on iOS
Probably the Apple tax, just about every subscription you could do through an iOS app Apple leaches an extra fee onto and most platforms push it onto the consumer. Patreon rolled out a “Apple upcharge” setting not long ago too.
Pay through the browser. It’s more expensive on iOS to combat the cut that Apple takes.
I feel like everyone mentioning the Apple surcharge is ignoring the fact that 3 different prices are shown, not just 2 (15.99 and 18.99 in the app screenshot and 13.99 on the TV). So unless the two screenshots were taken before/after a price change to the overall service they’re only answering half the questions (and I’m honestly curious about the reasoning now too).
It’s the Apple tax.
Do not pay the Apple tax.
Apple wants its third party cut.
YouTube revanced still works on android😅
As a ReVanced and uBlock user, $0. <3
Apple one again ripping its customers off
Ask some guy from India to login to ur account and buy it for you. It costs less than 2 dollars here for a month
This is actually true,if you try to buy premium of smthng from Amazon it will more expensive than from buying it in Android. This might be because of how the iphone takes more tax from them to run the app on iphone
It’s literally only 3.84 USD plus tax here on andorid n borswer
Apple 4.49 USD i think
I’ve had YouTube premium for 3 years now. Best way I found out to get it is to buy the yearly membership for 139.99. But buy digital Google play gift card off of Amazon using a 5% back Amazon premium credit card. Then apply that gift card to the Google account that matches the YouTube one. Purchase membership with balance. Do all on desktop, no mobile. Not great but better than full retail.
Nah wtf I just now noticed its 13.99 now last time I seen it was 11.99 before actually checking
