As the world’s most popular streaming service, YouTube can generate enormous advertising revenues. If you’re happy to watch or listen to the ads then it’s win-win, but many people prefer to pay a subscription fee to remove the ads and unlock extra features in YouTube Premium and YouTube Music. Whether you’re one of those paying customers or not, you might have wondered if YouTube Premium and Music have an annual subscription. It’s a little complicated, but we’ll answer your questions here.

As a quick summary, YouTube Premium not only includes ad-free videos and music, it gives you background play and offline downloads, plus YouTube Music and YouTube Kids. YouTube Music alone omits the ads and gives you the background play and offline download options, but only for music streaming.
