How to Cancel YouTube Music
Posted by on |Updated: | Featured

Free Trial Paradise

Premium services and relatively new services like YouTube Music (the successor of Google Play Music) will offer free trials, so you can experience the difference between their paid subscriptions and ad-supported accounts.

Free trials of premium memberships from subscription services are truly very appealing. Companies invite you to experience their full membership benefits for a month or more without spending a penny.

In exchange for the free trial, you have to enter your credit card details or another payment method where they can bill you every month.

And when you’re finished, take a look at our other YouTube guides:

Should You Get a YouTube Music Free Trial?

YouTube Music is a great music streaming service that offers a vast library of millions of songs, both old and new. Any song you want to hear, they probably have it there, which makes it so much better than other streaming services.

The best feature of a YouTube Music subscription is that you get to listen to ad-free music.

Nowadays, you get ads on every video or song. Not having to endure these ads is certainly a treat. No more loud audio ads to ruin the mood. Just keep the vibe going with no interruptions.

With a YouTube Music Premium membership, you also get to listen to tracks even if you’re offline. No internet connection? No problem. Just download your favorite songs for offline playback on your mobile devices.

Tired of listening to the same tracks? Want to discover something new? YouTube Music offers an auto-generated playlist titled “Your Mix” which is based on your favorite artists and recent searches. So, you’re sure to get fresh recommendations of songs that you will probably like listening to.

The other subscription features they offer are standard in other free music streaming apps. These are 1) letting you play music in the background while using other apps, and 2) letting you play songs with the screen turned off.

Since YouTube is offering first-time users a free 1-month premium subscription, why not avail it? You get a lot of perks without shelling out a dime.

The Hazards of Free Premium Membership Trials

It’s all good and well while you’re enjoying these free premium services. But, after a month or so, it will most likely slip your mind that your trial period is about to come to an end.

Even when music streaming services promise to inform you when your free trial is about to end, they often fail to notify you or catch your attention, whether intentional or unintentional. This then results in you getting charged for a service you initially didn’t plan on continuing anyway.

Accidentally getting billed for another month when your budget isn’t ready is too heavy a burden. The standard subscription for YouTube Music will cost you a good $11.99 per month.

So, if you’re wondering how to cancel YouTube music free trial, so you won’t get billed unintentionally, you’ve come to the right place.

How to cancel Your YouTube Music Subscription?
