Company spokesperson Alex McQuiston confirmed to The Verge that the pilot is taking place in India, France, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.“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, allowing two people to share a subscription at a reduced cost,” according to McQuiston.Moneycontrol and Android Authority both include screenshots in their articles of how the two-person plan slots into YouTube’s pricing tiers in Indian rupees. While an individual plan starts at ₹140.00 per month, a two-person plan costs ₹219.00 per month and a family plan costs ₹299.00 per month, so a two-person plan falls right in the middle.The pilot of a two-person plan follows YouTube’s wide rollout of YouTube Premium Lite, which the company had also tested in limited countries. Premium Lite plan lets you watch most videos without ads but doesn’t have ad-free music videos, offline downloads, or background play.See More: CreatorsNewsTechYouTubeMost PopularMost PopularA worthy sequel to one of the best websites everMark Zuckerberg just declared war on the entire advertising industryMicrosoft announces a Gears of War remaster – and it’s coming to PlayStation, tooThe fantasy of playing Final FantasyRIP Skype — you were right about almost everythingInstallerA weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
