How to Cancel YouTube Premium

Subscription in a Few Minutes

YouTube Premium Refund Policy

Understanding YouTube Premium's refund policy can be important if you encounter issues with the service.

For example, if you're still seeing ads despite having YouTube Premium, you might be eligible for a refund. To request a refund, visit YouTube's 'Help' support page and follow the provided instructions. 

If approved, your refund will be issued to the original payment method, such as Google Play, Apple Pay, credit card, or debit card.

Make sure you're logged into the correct YouTube Premium account when submitting your refund request to avoid delays or rejection.

How Much Can You Save After Canceling Your YouTube Premium Subscription?

YouTube Premium has different plans that are suitable for various needs. The primary plans start at $13.99 monthly.

But if you're using an iPhone or iPad, subscribing to YouTube Premium through the YouTube app means you'll be charged $18.99 per month.

This is because YouTube ads Apple's fee for transactions made within the app. To avoid this extra charge, simply subscribe directly to the YouTube website.

• YouTube Premium also has an annual plan, which costs $139.99. However, if you cancel early, the yearly subscription has no partial refund.

• YouTube Premium also has a family plan, which is $22.99 per month. It allows you to add up to five family members 13 and older.

• The cheapest option is the student plan. It gives you a month for free, and then you pay $7.99 each month. This plan is for students in college or university. You can use it for up to four years, but you need to prove each year that you're still a student.

• So, after canceling YouTube Premium you can save anywhere between $7.99 to $22.99 per month depending on the choice of your plan.
