It wasn’t long before users in the US also reported the same increase, followed by users in the UK, who could report an increase of £2, from £17.99 to £19.99 a month.
When we first checked whether there was a price increase in Norwegian users’ subscriptions, we found out that the Premium for Families still cost NOK 179 per month, as it did in 2018. But this may seem to be related to whether we’ve used the browser, as we got On NOK 179 monthly price or YouTube app.
Because when we checked the YouTube app shortly thereafter, we found NOK 229 – a price increase of NOK 50.
