There could also be a difference between Apple vs non-Apple device. It’s become fairly common to charge Apple users more.
That’s probably the Apple Store taking fees.
Never get a service via mobile that you can get via desktop.
Or you can just install adblocks and you have it free lol
Or use VPN to India
It is the same for many subscriptions so they dont lose money from the app stores/google play stores fees.
And its even cheaper if you use a VPN to subscribe. For example I have Netflix Premium(22.-) for 6.- or Twitch Prime/Prime Video(10.-) for 1.- by subscribing with a turkish VPN.
The art of the deal
Just a heads up: **uBlock Origin** (PC/Mac, Android), **YouTube Vanced** (Android), and **Brave Browser** (all platforms including iOS), are all free.
If you get ads in 2021, that’s on you.
I think you can subscribe with a VPNfrom an eastern country, and will be much cheaper. (Romania/Bulgaria)
if you buy it get a vpn or if you dont get youtube vanced/use youtube on the brave browser
Hot tip: it’s even cheaper to use a VPN and set it to russia, then pay in roubles (roughly 2.50 CHF/month). You just need a russian address, but any random hotel will do. Once you set it up, it’ll keep charging you roubles it doesn’t revert to your current location without the vpn on. I imagine you might have to redo it if your credit card expires, but I haven’t gotten to that
Just as a heads up, it’s cheaper to use a VPN to go to the Youtube India website and buy a subscription there, than it is to do it from the Swiss website. I did that and I pay only 50% of the Swiss price.
EDIT – Ahh sorry guys I pay 300rp / 2.50chf per month, even cheaper than I thought! 😀
Or use brave browser 😉
Honestly why use YT Premium when YouTube Vanced exists, gives you ad-free + background play, all while maintaining a vanilla YouTube experience.
inb4 helping creators, I know, I know.
Less ridiculously expensive, is the phrasing you were looking for
or just connect to a VPN in India and get it for even cheaper.
Tip of the day – cheapest YouTube is if you switch to Russia, then download and connect to VPN that can pretend to be Russian (works on android) and buy it for around 3 chf per month.
Good to know, thanks.
It’s as well cheaper if you pay it with a Russian VPN (Around 3 CHF monthly).
With an Indian VPN you can buy it for CHF 1.80
thanks
Still very expensive
it’s even cheaper to use youtube vanced…
or just use vanced
I dislike that YT only allows to run the app in the background on iPhone’s with a premium subscription.
It is just pathetic when they need to force users to pay for very basic app features in order to “motivate” them to subscribe to their content.
I just got billed CHF 19.90 by Apple today…
YT Premium more expensive than Netflix, AppleTV+ or Disney+.
Cute, but no.
Why would you like to pay for this anyway?
It’s even cheaper to use a VPN and subscribe from India: CHF 5.00 for 3 months. It’s not worth more anyway.
I pay like 2-3 CHF. Just subscribed using a free VPN. Idk if it’s still possible.

A bad business practice. Is it even legal here?

The apple tax… By the way, that won’t be true for much longer, at least in the us. Apple takes 15-30% on all sales made via the AppStore and sellers are not allowed to show an alternative payment method. But apple just lost, a very long explainer can be found here: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/08/23/apple-versus-epic-games-fortnite-app-store-saga—-the-story-so-far
