Some of the price hikes are as high as 56 per cent.
SINGAPORE - Subscribers of YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium in Singapore are the latest to be hit with price hikes, some as high as 56 per cent, following similar moves in other countries.
Users of Apple’s iOS, who have had to pay more for YouTube Premium since its launch in Singapore in 2019, now have to pay $17.98 a month for individual subscriptions, and $36.98 a month for family subscriptions. For iOS users, individual YouTube Music Premium subscriptions increased $3 to $12.98, while family subscriptions increased $5 to $19.98.
“The rise in subscription fees for streaming services is something we probably have to live with, since one-time purchases are mostly a thing of the past,” said Mr Lee. “It’s getting really hard to afford multiple subscriptions, and I might have to explore other alternatives, because it is getting harder to justify the convenience when the prices just keep going up.”
