- YouTube Premium Lite has now completely deployed in the United States
- It allows you to watch “most” free videos for $ 7.99 per month
- YouTube says he will expand his pilot to more countries “this year”
Here is good news if you have enough youtube Breaks Ad increasingly long – a new Premium Lite YouTube plan is now completely deployed in the United States, after a few successful pilot tests.
The new plan costs $ 7.99 per month, against $ 13.99 per month for the complete YouTube bonus. The main difference between the two is music – while a premium lite plans allows you to look at “the most” without advertising without advertising, including everything related to “game, comedy, cooking or learning”, which does not apply to clips.
You also miss three other features compared to a full plan. There is no offline video playback or background with the Lite plan, and you do not get full access to Youtube music. In other words, YouTube Premium Lite is aimed at those who are already registered with one of the other best music streaming services, but who always (mainly) want YouTube videos without advertising.
On Premium Lite, YouTube says that advertisements “may appear on musical content, shorts and when you are looking for or browse”, so it is not a completely without advertising like its more expensive premium alternative. But if you mainly use subscriptions to guide your visualization and not look at many clips, this could well be worth the price.
If this sounds in your street, you may wonder that Premium Lite takes place on a global scale. Well, Youtube says that “in the coming weeks”, he will launch Premium Lite in his other pilot countries, which are Thailand, Germany and Australia. He added that this will bring the plan to the new pilots to “additional countries this year”, but did not specify exactly when.
How does he compare?
As a person who looks at a lot of free youtube, but who unfortunately lives in the United Kingdom, this YouTube Lite subscription is obvious to me.
I am a longtime spotify subscriber, so I don’t really need Youtube music and rarely watch clips on YouTube. I also mainly look at youtube depending on my channels subscribed, and although the possibility of downloading videos and reading them in the background on my phone would be good either.
The main driver for me is that I am approaching my limit with the increasingly long-term advertising breaks of Youtube, so I would certainly inspire Premium Lite if he was available in the United Kingdom.
This is another streaming subscription to add to the list, which is why I am increasingly using the practice of subscription jumping for the best streaming services. But YouTube is now a sufficiently large part of my television which is watching the diet so that I can justify the $ 7.99 per month (or whatever the equivalent) for the Lite plan.
One thing that is not yet clear, it is how easy it is to go from an existing premium youtube plan at the cheapest Premium Lite. Two of my colleagues on Techradar have checked to see if there is an option to change, but so far, do not see anything in subscription management. I checked with YouTube on the process and I will update this story if we hear.
