JAKARTA - Google intends to increase the price of the YouTube Premium Family Plan subscription package starting next November.

The plan, which was shared via email, will increase the price of the YouTube Premium Family Plan, which was originally USD 17.99/month (IDR 281 thousand) to USD 22.99 (IDR 359 thousand).

"We created YouTube Premium to provide a seamless YouTube experience, so you can get closer to the videos, creators and music artists you love," YouTube wrote in an email, from a post by Twitter user @LemmonRocxy.

"To continue to provide great service and features, we will increase the price of your Premium family plan from $17.99/month to $22.99/month," YouTube wrote further.

The platform for watching and uploading videos said that this change will take effect on subsequent billing starting on or after November 21, 2022.

Apparently, many were surprised to see this announcement. Because of this, the YouTube team immediately took to Twitter and confirmed that the number would support users to more features.

"We haven't increased our Premium pricing since 2018, but are adjusting now so we can better support the creators & artists you watch on YouTube and develop more features," the YouTube team wrote on Twitter.

To check your account status and billing information, go to the Settings > Purchases and Memberships page. All members have the flexibility to pause or cancel subscription plans at any time.

The YouTube Premium Family Plan is a subscription plan that allows up to 5 family members to continue to enjoy YouTube Premium-like benefits such as ad-free viewing and background video playback.

This increase is likely to be in effect in several countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Argentina.
