Prices in Australian dollars, GST included, paid on the web. Signing up inside the YouTube app on an iPhone or iPad costs more: the App Store charges $22.99 for Individual, $51.99 for Family and $11.99 for Lite (checked 11 November 2026), which is why some sites print $22.99. Join on youtube.com to pay the prices above. Sources: Finder, 21 October 2026, Google Australia on Premium Lite, YouTube family plan rules, the YouTube app on the App Store (Australia).

Which YouTube Premium plan is cheapest for you
Just you
Individual at $16.99 a month if you use background play, downloads or YouTube Music; Premium Lite at $8.99 if you only want fewer ads.
Two or more people at home
Family at $39.99 a month beats separate Individual plans from 3 people (3 x $16.99 is $50.97). Everyone must live at the manager's address.
Students
Student at $10.49 a month, $6.50 less than Individual, with the same features. You verify each year; after 4 years it moves to the Individual price.
Mostly music
Premium includes YouTube Music Premium, so you do not need both. We could not confirm the Australian price of YouTube Music Premium on its own from two sources, so we do not print one.
Is there a YouTube Premium free trial in Australia?
Usually, yes: YouTube offers new members a free trial, most often one month, and the length it shows at sign-up is the one that applies. You need a payment card, and it renews at the full price when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. If you have had Premium, YouTube Music Premium or a trial before, you will usually not get another one.
