YouTube Reportedly Testing New Two-Person Premium Plan in India

YouTube users in India will soon get a new Premium subscription plan that allows two people to access YouTube Premium at a discounted price, according to a report by TechCrunch.

The video-sharing platform, owned by Google, confirmed that it is testing a new two-person Premium subscription plan in select countries, including India, France, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

“We’re experimenting with new ways to provide greater flexibility and value to our YouTube Premium subscribers, including offering a two-person Premium plan option in some countries, allowing two people to share a subscription at a reduced cost,” a YouTube spokesperson told TechCrunch.

The new Premium subscription is similar to Spotify’s Duo subscription plan. The company aims to draw more Premium plan subscribers, which allows users to view videos ad-free and includes background play.

The launch of a new Premium subscription plan comes at a time when YouTube is working to diversify its subscription offerings.

YouTube rolled out a new Premium subscription tier called Premium Lite in the United States, Australia, Germany, and Thailand in March 2025. Premium Lite allows users to watch videos ad-free for $7.99 per month.

In March, YouTube announced that YouTube Music and Premium had reached over 125 million subscribers globally, including those on trial plans.
