Google is bundling YouTube Premium Lite into its best storage plan – here’s where
Source: 9to5Google
Google is no stranger to bundling services together to deliver a more attractive package, especially in its Gemini era. Today, the company is building YouTube Premium into more of its various paid AI plans, meaning most subscribers will get a much better video‑streaming experience at no additional cost.
YouTube Premium Lite in the AI Pro plan
For most users, it’s YouTube Premium Lite that will be included in their monthly subscription. Google’s $20/month AI Pro plan, which recently received a boost up to 5 TB of cloud storage, now includes Premium Lite on all individual plans. While Premium Lite is more restrictive than its full‑price counterpart, you still get an elevated YouTube experience, including:
- No ads on non‑music videos
- Background play
- Downloads
Throw in the 5 TB cloud storage perk, and even if you aren’t using Gemini, the AI Pro plan is hard to beat at $20/month.
Full YouTube Premium in the AI Ultra plan
YouTube Premium—without the Lite restrictions—is still included as part of Google’s top‑tier AI Ultra subscription, newly re‑priced at “just” $100 per month. It’s a nice perk, but the best bang‑for‑your‑buck remains the $20 AI Pro plan.
Current AI Pro subscribers can also sign up for the full YouTube Premium experience at a discounted rate. Discounts as steep as 50 % off have been reported (source), and some users see 25 % off their monthly Premium subscription.
