The two-person tier is currently available for select users in India, France, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Like Spotify’s Premium Duo, the plan would help couples, roommates, or any two individuals in the same household reduce subscription costs while maintaining separate accounts, the report adds. The offer is only valid for new users ages 13 and up. “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,” YouTube tells Moneycontrol. In India, the new two-person plan costs Rs 219 per month (~$2.60), with the individual plan at Rs 149 (~$1.77) and the family plan at Rs 299 (~$3.55).
