Before joining a group Youtube
Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is it compatible with Youtube?
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
How are payments handled?
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
What happens if a member leaves the group?
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
Should you share your password?
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.

Which Youtube plan should you choose in the UK?
Youtube offers four plans in the UK. Premium Lite only removes adverts on most videos and does not include YouTube Music, downloads or background play. The student rate requires proof of enrolment, renewed every year. Only the Family plan really lends itself to splitting the cost.
How the price of YouTube Premium Family has changed
YouTube Premium Family launched in the UK at £17.99 a month and rose to £19.99 in November 2022, where it has stayed since. The UK has been spared the increases applied across the euro zone in 2025 and 2026, which makes it one of the cheapest markets in Europe. Split between 6 people, the cost is £3.33 each.

How the UK compares with other countries
Prices vary from one country to another. Here are the prices in nearby countries, in local currency.
Youtube promo code or subscription sharing?
YouTube does not hand out promo codes: it offers a one-month free trial for new accounts, a student rate at £7.99 with proof of enrolment, and a yearly plan at £129.99, which works out at £10.83 a month. Sharing a Youtube subscription brings a recurring saving instead: the price is lower every month, not only during a promotion.
Frequently asked questions
How can I pay less for Youtube?
There are three levers in the UK. The student rate at £7.99 a month if you can provide proof of enrolment. Premium Lite if adverts on videos are your only problem, bearing in mind it includes neither YouTube Music, nor downloads, nor background play. And above all, sharing a multi-account plan: on Sharesub a place costs £4.99 / month, fees included, instead of paying for the whole subscription on your own.
How much does YouTube Premium Family cost per person?
In the UK, YouTube Premium Family costs £19.99 a month for 6 accounts, which is £3.33 per person per month. Every member keeps their own Google account, subscriptions, history and recommendations. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
How much is a Youtube place on Sharesub?
A place costs £4.99 / month, fees included, in the Youtube Premium Family offer. You save around 75% compared with the price of the full subscription. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due.
How many members can a YouTube Premium Family plan have?
A Family plan covers up to 6 accounts: the group manager and 5 invited members, aged 13 or over. Everyone keeps their own Google account, subscriptions, history and recommendations, and gets YouTube without adverts, background play, downloads and YouTube Music. On Sharesub you join a group that has a place free, and you pay for that place only.
What is the difference between YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium?
YouTube Premium removes adverts across all YouTube videos, allows background play and downloads, and includes YouTube Music Premium. YouTube Music Premium on its own only covers the music app: ad-free listening, offline and with the screen off, but adverts remain on YouTube itself. YouTube Music Premium also comes as a 6-account family plan, cheaper than YouTube Premium Family, and both are shared on Sharesub.
Can I join a Youtube subscription on Sharesub?
Yes, when a place is available. The offers open in United Kingdom are shown first. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then emails you the invitation. You join the group with your own Google account: you never hand over your password, and nobody should ask you for theirs. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up.
How does Sharesub make money?
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (£4.99 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
Why do Youtube prices vary between countries?
YouTube sets its prices by market, currency and local taxes. The Family plan ranges from £19.99 in the UK to €29.99 in France, Spain and Italy.
