Singapore YouTube Premium users to soon pay 14% more for service

Singapore YouTube Premium users can expect a 14% price increase, with the individual membership rising to S$15.98 (US$12.58) from S$13.98 and the family plan increasing to S$31.98 from S$27.98. These changes, reported by The Straits Times, will apply to new users starting Aug. 21, while existing subscribers will see the higher rates from their first billing cycle, at least 30 days after the increase.

YouTube cited the need to continue delivering great service and features, as well as supporting creators and artists, as the reason for the hike. This marks a price increase from September 2024, when the individual plan was raised from S$11.98 to S$13.98 and the family plan from S$17.98 to S$27.98. YouTube Premium, launched in Singapore in November 2019, offers ad-free viewing, background playback, offline downloads, and full access to YouTube Music.
