YouTube is experimenting with a new Premium subscription plan designed for two users, according to Moneycontrol as reported by Android Authority. A spokesperson from the company, Alex McQuiston, confirmed to The Verge that this trial is currently underway in India, France, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
McQuiston stated, “We’re exploring innovative ways to offer more flexibility and value to our YouTube Premium customers, which includes the option of a two-person Premium plan. This allows two individuals to share a subscription at a reduced price.”
Both Moneycontrol and Android Authority provided screenshots showing how this two-person plan fits into YouTube’s pricing structure in Indian rupees. The individual plan is available at ₹140.00 per month, the two-person plan at ₹219.00 per month, and the family plan at ₹299.00 per month, positioning the two-person plan as a mid-tier option.
The pilot of a two-person plan follows YouTube’s wide rollout of YouTube Premium Lite, which the company had also tested in limited countries. Premium Lite plan lets you watch most videos without ads but doesn’t have ad-free music videos, offline downloads, or background play.
