What’s the cheapest way to watch YouTube without ads?

Your options

• YouTube Premium: $15.99 a month or $159.99 a year in the US (October 2026). No ads anywhere you’re signed in, including the YouTube app, smart TVs and consoles, plus background play and YouTube Music. Part of what you pay goes to creators.
• YouTube Premium Lite: $8.99 a month in the US. No ads on most videos, but you still see ads on music and Shorts.
• A browser ad blocker: works only on youtube.com in a browser on a computer, and only if it’s updated quickly when YouTube changes how it shows ads.
• AdPass Plus: a browser ad blocker that also blocks ads and trackers on every other site and keeps your passwords, for $24.99 a year at the founding price.

How AdPass handles YouTube

AdPass skips the video ads before and during a video, removes banner and overlay ads, and stops the pop-up that tells you ad blockers aren’t allowed. It runs our own blocking rules inside the extension, and when YouTube changes something, we ship a fix fast.

There’s nothing to set up. Open youtube.com and the ads are gone. If you’d rather see ads on YouTube to support creators, pause blocking for youtube.com from the AdPass button.

What it can’t do

• Block ads in the YouTube app on iPhone, Android, smart TVs or game consoles. No browser extension can.
• Block YouTube ads in Safari on iPhone yet. AdPass on iPhone blocks ads and trackers on other sites in Safari.

Get started

1. Join the AdPass beta. We invite people from the waitlist in small groups.
2. Install AdPass in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave or Opera.
3. Open youtube.com. YouTube blocking is on from the start, and every Plus feature is free during the beta.
