Compare YouTube Premium prices by country for Individual, Family, and Student plans, including YouTube Music access and eligibility caveats.

Cheapest country for YouTube Premium

YouTube Premium bundles the YouTube universe into one ad-free ticket. Videos keep playing in the background on mobile, downloads make flights or commutes less annoying, and YouTube Music Premium is included. The bill, however, is local. Country, plan, student eligibility, and family rules can all change the answer.

Use the live table to find the cheapest country for YouTube Premium by plan. Start with Individual for the cleanest baseline, then switch to Family or Student when that is the plan you can actually use.

What every tracked tier unlocks

  • Watch YouTube without pre-rolls, mid-rolls, or banner ads interrupting long form videos or Shorts.
  • Keep videos running in the background while you hop into other apps, or lock your phone without losing audio.
  • Download playlists and podcasts on both YouTube and YouTube Music for offline listening.

Plan differences are all about scale and eligibility:

  • Individual is the straight shot for solo streamers who just want every YouTube screen ad-free.
  • Family covers the account owner plus up to five household members aged 13+, each with their own recommendations and history.
  • Student keeps the Individual feature set but discounts the price once SheerID verifies enrollment at an eligible college or university.

Payment and region caveats

YouTube Premium eligibility can depend on country, billing platform, household membership, student verification, and available payment methods. This page is not a VPN or account-region workaround. It compares localized prices so you can judge the official plan-country gap more clearly.

Why the cheapest country changes

The table ranks the current verified snapshot. A price increase, local tax change, currency move, or plan lineup change can move the cheapest country. That is why the verified date in the header matters more than a stale list in a random blog post.

FAQ

Which country has the cheapest YouTube Premium? Choose the YouTube Premium plan you want and sort the live table by price. Individual, Family, and Student can each produce a different cheapest country.

Does YouTube Premium include YouTube Music? Yes. YouTube Music Premium is included with the tracked YouTube Premium plans.

Is Student the cheapest YouTube Premium plan? Often, but it requires student verification. It should not be used as the default comparison unless you qualify.

Why is Family pricing not compared per person by default? Household rules matter. The table shows the plan price first; you can divide by eligible household members if the plan actually fits your situation.

How to keep the answer honest

  • Individual is the standard ad-free YouTube and YouTube Music bundle.
  • Family pricing can be lower per person but depends on household eligibility.
  • Student pricing is useful only after student verification.

Before you act on a low price

  • Billing country, payment method, household rules, and student verification can affect what you can buy.
  • YouTube Music is included, so avoid comparing this directly with standalone music-only plans unless that is your intent.
  • This guide compares prices and does not provide region-bypass instructions.

Can you use the cheapest country price?

Treat the low-price row as a comparison signal, not a promise that your account can switch countries. YouTube Premium can still apply billing-country, payment-method, tax, student, household, store-region, and plan-availability rules.

  • Match the plan firstCompare the same plan, billing period, and eligibility rules before judging the cheapest country.
  • Pay the provider directlySkip reseller accounts, grey-market gift cards, and region-bypass advice. Provider billing rules still win.
  • Respect missing rowsWhen a country is absent, the row was not clean enough for this comparison. Better blank than misleading.
