YouTube Premium Individual in India is ₹289/mo ($3.02) versus US $20.99, dated 29 Aug 2026 on the App Store. Family is ₹389 ($4.06). Nigeria is cheaper at ₦2,200. Apple Music in India is ₹139 on a different Apple door. This URL is the India YouTube price, not a prepaid-membership how-to and not the cheapest-country rank.
Two YouTube bills exist. That split is the whole point of this page. Live chips: YouTube Premium in India. Door-by-door: is YouTube Premium cheaper on iOS or web?. Rails: how to pay for YouTube Premium in India and /how-to-pay/.
Dated cells are Apple. The web door is a different receipt
youtube.com memberships follow the Google payments-profile country and can take Play credit when that country matches. The dated ₹289 / ₹389 cells are the YouTube iPhone sheet billed to an India Apple ID. Apple’s cut is in that sticker. A Delhi IP on a US Apple ID still shows $20.99. Confirm rupees on the door you will actually pay.
This page is Individual at ₹289. Family is ₹389 — a household seat, not a cheaper Individual. Google documents prepaid memberships in some markets; that is a billing-shape choice on the web door, not this Apple cell. Mixing Family with Individual is how lists fake a country win.
We will not print an undated youtube.com rupee next to ₹289. Press tables that lead with a cheaper web sticker are describing the other merchant. Read your own web receipt. Do not paste it onto this Apple rank.
Play credit vs Apple credit
On the dated Apple cell, an India-issued card, Apple Pay, or India-store Apple credit can pay. Play gift cards fund Google-billed youtube.com memberships. They do not settle this App Store Individual row. Gift-credit currency still has to match the storefront country.
If you subscribed inside the iPhone app by mistake, cancel in iOS Settings → Subscriptions, wait out the paid period, then resubscribe in a browser if you want the Google-billed door. Do not run both.
Nigeria still wins Individual
Nigeria Individual is ₦2,200 ($1.63) on Apple — the cheap YouTube country. India at $3.02 is a different rung. Apple Music’s ₹139 is Music, not Watch Later. Spotify’s ₹139 is a website music catalog. Those two ₹139 stickers are not this ₹289 YouTube cell.
Benefits follow the Google account on the web door and the Apple ID on this dated cell. Travel does not reprice either one. A VPN does not set either price.
