Youtube music, now at half price, if you are a student

YouTube has recently launched cheaper monthly plans for students who are interested in its music and video streaming service, YouTube Music. Specifically, the company has lowered the cost of the monthly YouTube Music Premium subscription from $ 9.99 / euros per month to $ 4.99 / euros per month, but only for verified students, as is the case with other services. similar from the competition.

YouTube Music Premium for only € 4.99

This new pricing strategy launched last Tuesday is aligned with similar offers for students who have been marketing their rivals for years, such as Apple Music and Spotify, which allow university students to subscribe to their services for only 4.99 euros per month, instead of the usual 9.99 euros. But just as in the case of Apple Music, which didn't launch a student discount until almost a year after the service's debut, YouTube has also waited to launch this special subscription.

In addition, students will also be able to subscribe to YouTube Premium for $ 6.99 per month (or country or region equivalent) instead of $ 11.99 per month. And if it seems a little discount, those who register before January 31, 2019, will only have to pay $ 5.99 a month).

For those who do not know it or get lost in the mess of services marketed by Alphabet (Google), YouTube Premium is the ad-free version of YouTube that includes viewing without an internet connection and some original and exclusive YouTube content.

The appearance of new streaming services has led companies to begin to implement discounts and more attractive packages for certain groups, in this case, students, more susceptible to music consumption than other older population groups. For example, in August Spotify announced that its Spotify + Hulu package for $ 4.99 per month was expanded with the addition of Showtime while maintaining the price of this package, which, for non-students, remains at $ 12.99 per month without Showtime..
