Cheap shared subscriptions for YouTube Music

What is YouTube Music, and why are more and more people choosing it?

Essentially, YouTube Music is Google’s music streaming service, launched as a standalone platform in 2018 (evolving from Google Play Music).

It combines an official catalog of over 100 million songs with all of YouTube’s unique content and user-generated content that you can’t find on other platforms.

In practice, that means that when you sign up for a cheap YouTube Premium account, you get access to tens of millions of songs, but also to everything YouTube has been accumulating for over a decade—content that no other music app has:

• Official music videos.
• Full concerts.
• Remixes.
• Live versions.
• Tracks that never made it onto an album.

The big difference from a “regular” music app is that here you’re not just listening to audio—you can switch between audio and video with a single tap, without switching apps or losing your place in the song.

You’re listening to a song in the car, you get home, tap a button, and continue watching the music video exactly where you left off.

That flexibility is what’s driving more and more people to switch to YouTube Music without even thinking of it as a “music” decision, since they were already on YouTube all day anyway.

What sets YouTube Music apart from other platforms?

This is the crown jewel—and the reason many people much prefer the affordable YouTube Music over Spotify Premium. Let’s take a look:

All these great features are why we offer you affordable music accounts, including YouTube Music Premium as one of our top picks at CuentasGO.

Which is cheaper: Spotify or YouTube Music?

Choosing between Spotify and YouTube Music may seem like a simple decision at first glance: you look at the price, compare them, and that’s it.

But the reality is a bit more complex, since both platforms are music streaming giants, yet each has its own personality and strengths.

Platform Individual Plan Student Plan Family Plan

In terms of price alone, Spotify is slightly cheaper across all three tiers. The difference (between €2 and €5 per month, depending on the plan) has an explanation: when you pay for YouTube Premium, you’re not just paying for music—you’re also paying for ad-free YouTube in general, with background playback and downloads of regular videos, not just songs.

If you’re comparing apples to apples (music only), Spotify wins on price.

But if you factor in everything included in that price, the difference shrinks considerably, because you’re replacing two subscriptions (ad-free YouTube + music) with just one.

Everything You Can Find on YouTube Music

And here lies the true value proposition of YouTube Music. Because it’s not just an app for listening to audio. Rather, it’s packed with features that simply don’t exist on Spotify or Apple Music.

🎬 Music Videos

You get access to a complete official catalog in the best sound quality available, featuring all the latest releases and classics from music history.

From your favorite artist’s latest music video to those iconic videos from the ’80s and ’90s that defined a generation. All in one place, without having to switch between platforms.

🎤 Concerts

Full performances from festivals and tours around the world, many in HD. Things that on other platforms exist only as memories.

You can relive Queen at Wembley, the legendary Woodstock, or your favorite band’s latest festival as if you were in the front row. No need to search the dark corners of the internet.

🎸 Live Sessions

You can also listen to acoustic sets, radio and TV sessions, and “unplugged” formats that capture the artist’s essence in its purest form. No excessive production, no autotune—just the artist and their instrument.

These versions often surpass the studio recordings and are what die-hard fans are constantly on the hunt for.

🎧 Remixes

An extensive collection of alternative versions and remixes that aren’t available on audio-only platforms. If you enjoy discovering new layers in songs you already know, you’ll find an endless treasure trove here.

🎶 Covers

Versions by other artists, including recordings by independent creators that often surpass the originals in emotional depth or freshness. Discover how your favorite song sounds in someone else’s voice, with a different style, a different rhythm, a different soul. Creativity knows no bounds.

🎙️ Podcasts

A catalog integrated right into the app itself—no need for another app or to switch screens. Everything in one place. And all without having to switch between Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or iVoox. The convenience of having it all together.

How can you get YouTube Music for less?

Aside from buying a cheap premium account on CuentasGO—which comes with a guarantee and is 100% reliable—here are some other options for getting a YouTube Music account:

• Launch promotions: Google often offers free trial periods for new subscribers, usually lasting one month.
• Student plan: If you’re enrolled in higher education and can verify it, the price drops significantly compared to the individual plan and stays that way as long as you remain a student.
• Family plan: Designed to split the cost among up to 5 other people living at the same address, each with their own account, library, and recommendations.

Is a shared YouTube Music account worth it?

Yes, and in this case, it’s one of the best decisions you can make if you listen to music or podcasts every day.

The YouTube Premium Family Plan is designed precisely for this: up to 6 people in the same household, each with full access (music and ad-free YouTube), for a price that, when split among everyone, comes out to well below the cost of an individual subscription per person.

If you want to try it out, the first step is as simple as opening the app and starting to listen—just visit our platform to choose the plan that’s right for you, and you’re all set.

More about these shared premium accounts

What’s the difference between YouTube Music and Spotify?

YouTube Music natively integrates video (music videos, concerts, remixes) and is part of YouTube Premium, which also removes ads from all of YouTube. Spotify focuses exclusively on audio, with a slightly lower price and a well-established podcast catalog.

Does this account include music videos and concerts?

Yes, it’s one of its hallmarks: you can listen to a song and switch to its official music video at any time, as well as access concerts and live performances that aren’t available on audio-only platforms.

How can I get YouTube Music for less?

By taking advantage of the free trial when you sign up, signing up for the student plan if you meet the requirements, or splitting or purchasing shared subscriptions on CuentasGO.

Is a shared YouTube Music account worth it?

Yes, absolutely. An individual YouTube Premium subscription (which includes YouTube Music) costs €13.99 per month. Over a year, that adds up to €167.88. It’s not outrageous, but it’s no small amount either—especially when you add in Netflix, HBO, Spotify, or any other subscriptions you already have.

With a shared account on CuentasGO, that cost is drastically reduced. Depending on the plan you choose, you can save up to 70–80% compared to the official subscription. And no, you’re not giving up anything: you still have full premium access—ad-free, with downloads, maximum quality, and all the features.
