What you actually get with YouTube Premium
Most people think of YouTube Premium as just "no ads." It's more than that — and understanding what's included makes the price comparison make more sense.
One subscription, two services. YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music Premium. When you compare prices, you're comparing against both Spotify ($11.99/month) and a video streaming service — bundled together.
What YouTube Premium actually costs
YouTube charges $13.99/month for the individual plan in most markets. That's $167.88 per year. The student plan is $7.99/month but requires enrollment verification and isn't available everywhere.
| Duration | YouTube price | SubSplit price | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $13.99 | from $1.50 | up to 89% off |
| 3 months | $41.97 | from $4.50 | up to 89% off |
| 6 months | $83.94 | from $9.00 | up to 89% off |
| 12 months | $167.88 | from $17.50 | up to 90% off |
How SubSplit gets the price so low
YouTube Premium pricing varies significantly by country — the same subscription that costs $13.99/month in the US costs a fraction of that in many other markets. SubSplit sources subscriptions from lower-cost markets and passes those savings directly to you.
You get a legitimate YouTube Premium account — the exact same features, the same quality, the same YouTube Music access. The only difference is the price you paid for it.
This works across all your devices. Sign in with your Google account on your phone, TV, laptop, or tablet — YouTube Premium follows you everywhere.
YouTube Premium vs YouTube Music — what's the difference?
This confuses a lot of people. Here's the simple breakdown:
- YouTube Music Premium ($10.99/month standalone) — ad-free music streaming only. No ad-free YouTube videos, no background play on YouTube.
- YouTube Premium ($13.99/month) — everything in YouTube Music Premium, plus ad-free YouTube, background play, and offline downloads across both apps.
SubSplit sells YouTube Premium — the full bundle. You get both services for the price of one subscription.
