YouTube hikes prices on US premium plans; annual subscription up $20

YouTube, Google’s video streaming platform, hiked prices on its monthly and annual premium plans in the United States.

The YouTube Premium plan would cost $13.99 a month in the US, up $2 from before, according to the company’s website on Thursday. The price for its annual plan was hiked by $20 to $139.99.

It was unclear if the price hikes would apply to other markets too. Google did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment.
