On Wednesday, YouTube announced that its cheaper Premium Lite plan is now available in the US for $7.99 per month. The new plan allows users to watch “most” videos on YouTube without ads, including videos related to gaming, fashion, beauty, news, and more. Ads will continue to appear on music content, Shorts, and while searching and browsing.
YouTube Premium Lite does not include ad-free YouTube Music or music videos, downloads, or background play. For those features, you’ll have to upgrade to the old YouTube Premium, which costs $13.99 per month after the latest price hike.
Although the new subscription tier lacks many notable Premium features, it’s a cheaper way to watch videos without being bombarded with ads. For some users, especially younger users who spend more time watching YouTube than linear TV or any streaming services, that’s still going to be a tempting offer in light of the ad blocker crackdown.
