YouTube Premium Lite offers a cheaper experience with fewer ads

If $13.99 per month doesn’t fit your budget for the standard YouTube Premium subscription, Google has announced a more budget-friendly option: YouTube Premium Lite. YouTube Music and Premium reaches 125 million subscribers globally and Google wants to make sure you have plenty of options to enjoy your favorite content.

We’ve been testing Premium Lite to make sure we have the right balance of features and benefits for those viewers who want to watch most videos ad-free – whether it’s gaming, comedy, cooking or learning. For users who want ad-free music on YouTube and YouTube Music, plus offline and background play, we recommend the Premium plan.

YouTube Premium Lite costs $7.99 per month. Google says most popular content genres are virtual ad-free, such as gaming, comedy, cooking, or learning. If you want offline listening or background music, though, you’ll have to get the Premium Plan. Premium Lite isn’t billed as no interruptions, just fewer interruptions, so we’ll have to see how this plays out with viewers.
