Following price rises for the family sharing version of YouTube Premium, and then YouTube TV, the regular YouTube Premium subscription price is rising $2 per month.
In October 2022, YouTube Premium Family Plan jumped five bucks to $22.99/month — and for subscribers via the App Store it was even worse at $29.99/month. Then in March 2023, the cost of YouTube TV went up eight bucks to $72.99.
Now according to its official site, YouTube Premium has raised its prices for US subscribers. It's the first increase since the ad-free YouTube service began in 2018.
YouTube Premium now costs $13.99/month, up from $11.99. The annual price has risen $20 to $139.99.
According to Reuters, members who signed up in 2018, or ones who initially subscribed via Google Play, will get three more months at the old price.

So much for cord cutting.
People actually pay for these services? I just don't get it.
Why don't we get the 8.99 YouTube Premium without the YouTube Music. I don't need YT Music i'm good with Tidal and Apple Music but I'd pay 9 bucks for Premium YT only despite my displeasure with the YT interface.
I was grandfathered in from 'YouTube Red', and still paying $9.99.
Wouldn't mind ditching the music part, I've got that covered.
Oh well...
