YouTube TV costs $72.99/month — making it one of the more expensive streaming subscriptions most households carry. Add-ons (sports packages, 4K, Spanish plan) push it higher. At nearly $876/year, a YouTube TV cancellation delivers some of the largest single-subscription savings possible.

What You Lose
While you're here — Gravity tracks every subscription on your iPhone and reminds you before each renewal. Free to download, no bank sync.
★★★★★ Free to download · No credit card required
- Live TV channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, CNN, Fox, etc.)
- DVR recordings — these are deleted
- Any add-on packages (sports, 4K)
Your YouTube account is unaffected. YouTube Premium (if you have it separately), YouTube's main video library, and your subscriptions to YouTube channels remain.
Getting a Refund
YouTube TV does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel mid-month, you retain access until the billing period ends. For accidental charges or first-time billing issues, contact support.google.com/youtubetv.
Cheaper Live TV Alternatives
| Service | Price | Channels |
|---|---|---|
| Philo | $25/month | 60+ entertainment channels, no sports |
| DirecTV Stream (Entertainment) | $59.99/month | ~75 channels |
| Sling TV (Orange or Blue) | $40/month | 30–45 channels |
| Fubo (Pro) | $74.99/month | Sports-heavy |
| Hulu + Live TV | $76.99/month | Disney Bundle included |
| Antenna (OTA) | One-time $30–$50 | ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS free |
The antenna option is the most overlooked. A one-time $30–$50 indoor antenna provides free, permanent access to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, and local channels in HD — covering most major live sports, news, and network TV. Combined with one streaming service, it replaces YouTube TV at a fraction of the cost.
