Telus just added YouTube Premium as an add-on to its Stream+ bundle.
Some Stream+ subscribers spotted promo offers pitching YouTube Premium for $7.19 a month. Turns out that price is actually for YouTube Premium Lite, the stripped down version with way fewer features. The real YouTube Premium only gets a 10% discount through Telus, bringing it down to $11.69 from the usual $12.99.
A lot of users on Reddit are saying just skip the promo entirely. Saving 10% isn’t really worth the hassle of cancelling your Google subscription and setting up billing through Telus instead, especially if it means breaking up a family plan.
Here’s a screenshot of YouTube Premium being offered with Telus Stream+ shared on Reddit:
This comes after Telus already raised prices across Stream+ last April, adding $3 to $5 a month to its bundles (to match price increases from subscription services). Right now Stream+ Basic runs $23 a month and Stream+ Premium is $43, which bundles in Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime, which is 15% off compared to paying for the subscriptions on their own.
Update June 18, 2026: Telus has clarified to iPhone in Canada that YouTube Family Plans are unavailable through third-party providers, due to YouTube’s policy. Telus also says it is the first partner in Canada to offer both YouTube Premium and YouTube Premium Lite. We’ve also clarified the add-ons are available on the Telus website and YouTube will not be part of the core Stream+ bundles.
