How can I get YouTube Premium for a lower price after the recent price increase?

Recently, YouTube India announced an increase in the prices for its YouTube Premium service, and it’s a change that has caught the attention of many users across the country. The costs have gone up for all types of plans—whether you're a student, an individual, or someone who subscribes to the family plan. For some, this increase is as high as 58%, which is quite significant. Now, students have to pay Rs 89 per month, up from the previous rate. The individual plan has jumped to Rs 149, and the family plan, which can be shared among multiple members, now costs Rs 299 per month.

These price hikes apply to both new subscribers and those who have been using the service for a while, meaning no one is spared from the additional costs. For many, this makes the service noticeably more expensive, especially considering that YouTube Premium was already a premium-priced option.

Now, while there are various ways people might try to avoid these increased costs, such as using ad blockers or unofficial apps, it's important to remember that these methods aren’t always reliable or safe. They can sometimes compromise your device’s security or violate YouTube's terms of service, leading to potential risks like account suspension. Therefore, sticking with a legitimate Premium plan is the best and most secure option.

However, shelling out Rs 149 every month for an individual plan might feel a bit steep, especially if you’re not making full use of all the features, or if you’re the only one in your household who needs the subscription. The family plan offers better value, but it only makes sense if you have enough people to share it with. Otherwise, you’re left paying for slots you’re not even using.

But here’s the good news: there’s a way to get YouTube Premium at a much lower cost without compromising on quality or legality. Platforms like Subspace offer a clever solution to this problem. By joining a public group through Subspace, you can take advantage of the YouTube Premium family plan’s cost-sharing benefits. Here’s how it works: the family plan costs Rs 299, and it can be shared by up to six members. When you divide that cost equally, each person only needs to pay Rs 50 per month. This means you can enjoy all the benefits of YouTube Premium—such as ad-free videos, background play, offline downloads, and access to YouTube Music—at just a third of the individual plan’s price.

Moreover, if you’re already on a YouTube Premium family plan but aren’t using all your slots, Subspace allows you to share those extra slots with others. This not only helps you save money but also makes the most out of your subscription. Instead of letting those unused slots go to waste, you can reduce your own costs by filling them with new members, thereby lowering the effective price you pay each month.

In essence, using a platform like Subspace can be a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy YouTube Premium without breaking the bank. You get to keep all the benefits of the premium service—no ads, uninterrupted viewing, and access to exclusive content—while paying just Rs 50 instead of Rs 149. It’s a smart, legal, and efficient way to manage your YouTube Premium subscription, making the recent price hikes much easier to handle.

So, if you’re feeling the pinch from these new YouTube Premium prices, consider exploring the option of joining or creating a public group on Subspace. It’s a simple yet effective way to keep enjoying your favorite content without the added financial burden.
