YouTube Music Premium price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of mid-2026 price updates), YouTube Music Premium commonly lists about $11.99/mo individual and about $18.99/mo family — Confirm on youtube.com/premium / paid memberships. Cancel at youtube.com/paid_memberships → YouTube Music → Deactivate (Cancel YouTube Music Premium).
You can cancel Music-only without canceling full YouTube Premium if you hold both. Uninstalling the Music app does not cancel.
Apple/Google Play store purchases cancel in that store. YouTube Premium (video + Music) is a different SEO lane from this Music-focused page.
