YouTube’s upcoming ad-free subscription service looks like it’s slated for an October release, which should be less than a month away, assuming everything stays on track. This new service is expected to be rolled up into YouTube’s Music Key subscription, which we think might get a name change to YouTube Red. Nothing is certain just yet, but we’ve all expected something to happen with Google’s video streaming service sooner or later, and we’ve been hearing things for a while.
Both the ad-free music and video service is expected to be sold as one single package through Google and will cost about $10 per month. It’s tough to see how Google will make money doing that, especially considering the bulk of its revenue comes from advertising, but no details are set in stone just yet. It’s always possible that it’ll be offered at an introductory price then raised later on, similar to what happened with All Access initially.
Since Music Key is currently bundled in with All Access, it’s not exactly clear how things will split apart, if they will at all. It’s hard to imagine Google being able to bundle all three services into one for less than $10 a month, but we’ll see as we get closer to the actual date of release.
