Google is actively testing a new YouTube Premium subscription tier in select European countries. As first reported by The Verge, this new tier dubbed Premium Lite is priced at 6.99 euros, which is significantly cheaper compared to the standard subscription that usually costs 11.99 euros. According to the report, the new plan is being tested in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and the Netherlands. A YouTube spokesperson confirmed this news by sharing the following statement with TheVerge: The Lite tier offers ad-free viewing but misses out on many Premium features such as YouTube Music Premium, offline downloads, and background playback on mobile.
