There are no hidden fees for YouTube TV. Plans and pricing are transparent on the YouTube TV website. It's a subscription service that offers 100+ TV channels for you to try for free before signing up. There are no contracts, so you can leave at any time.

You will have to pay taxes, but they aren't hidden. They are clearly indicated on the bill and can vary by state. The FCC is currently considering charging streaming companies a $1.23 fee for each subscriber, similar to what it charges cable companies. If this proposal is approved, the fee will be passed on to subscribers in the same way it's passed on to cable customers, but this change has not happened yet. Several parties are involved in efforts to make it happen, while an opposing coalition argues that it's not justified.

You also have the option of adding additional channels to your basic $73/month YouTube TV subscription, but these upgrades are not hidden gotchas. The website lists them plainly. For example, some premium channels will cost an additional $1.99/month, while 4K Plus channels will cost an extra $9.99 per month. The Sports Plus plan adds more sports channels to your lineup and costs an additional $10.99/month on your bill. You can check out the exact channels you'll receive by entering your zip code on the YouTube TV website.

What YouTube TV does regularly is increase its prices, and these increases are not hidden.
