It&#8217;s an increase of over 25%.  The price is jumping to $29.99\/month if you subscribe through the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube does <em>note<\/em> appear to be raising the cost of YouTube Premium for individual accounts.  That cost is still $11.99 per month on YouTube&#8217;s website, despite the new family pricing already showing (pictured below).

To continue delivering great service and features, we will be increasing your Premium family plan price from $17.99\/month to $22.99\/month.<\/p>\n<p>This change will take place on your next billing cycle starting on or after November 21, 2022.
