According to a report from Bloomberg, YouTube is about to release a cheaper “Premium Lite” subscription for the streaming service.
The new Tier is aimed at users who are particularly interested in content than music videos. So that can be vlogs, video -ingays, training videos, tutorials, gameplaythroughs, podcasts and more.
Although no price has been revealed, YouTube carried out a limited test of a Premium Lite subscription in some countries between 2021 and 2023. The Verge writes that a user in Australia claimed that the plan still contained a few advertisements and 8.99 Aud would cost, half the price of a regular premium membership.
The Premium Lite plan would initially be available in the US, Australia, Germany and Thailand, without a word about a British launch.
If the Lite membership follows the same price pattern as Australia (half of the standard option), it can cost around $ 7 a month in the US and about £ 6.50 per month in the UK.
