I'm not sure about individual plans, but YouTube Premium Family went up to $23 per month. I've been a member since day 1 and they eliminated all grandfathering for me. Spotify is $15 for Duo or $17 for family.

In Germany it's 17,99€ for family

They charge $17 for Music only without including YouTube Premium in the US.

I was in the same boat. Said fuck it, switched to Spotify Duo, now I just use YouTube less.

The only thing that would convince me to switch back would be a sub $5/mo plan to just remove ads. I'll keep Spotify because YouTube Music is still not worth it.

The big thing that convinced me Spotify is better as a music service is that it was able to successfully recommend me a band I like that has only 71 listeners, and is similar to another band I like with 140 listeners. YouTube struggles with even understanding what artists are similar to those two and just plays other stuff I listen to (that's unrelated) on artist radio.
