The price of YouTube Premium – the ad-free subscription plan offered by the video streaming platform – has increased in Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and several other countries, according to social media reports. In some European countries, the price of the “Single” plan has increased by around 2 Euros (roughly Rs. 186), while the same applies to the “Family” plan. The development comes a month after the Google-owned platform increased subscription prices in India.
