YouTube Premium and YouTube Music have arrived in the Malaysian market since 2019. They offer ad-free video access, play videos in the background and support 1080p streaming at high bit rates. Monthly subscription prices are as low as RM14.90 for YouTube Music and RM17.90 for individuals.
In addition, YouTube Premium also has a family plan that costs RM22.90 per month. This plan can be used for six different accounts making one account only pay around RM3.80 per month.
Then Google once increased the price to RM26.90. Recently the price has been increased again specifically for the family plan only. I received this information through an email sent by YouTube stating that the subscription price starting in June will be RM33.90. This is an increase of RM7. Making the total price increase since launch is as much as RM11.
All benefits and special access are still maintained, only users now have to pay more. With YouTube starting to block the use of AdBlock this is the best time to subscribe. If you take the family plan and share with five people you only pay RM5.65 per month.
