Google has several services that could easily be bundled into a single subscription, much like Apple One. Currently, Google users have to subscribe to some services individually. However, Apple users can pay for a single subscription to get a range of services. The latter bundle contains Apple TV Plus, Apple Music, Apple Arcade and 50 GB iCloud storage for a base price. Even if it could work for Apple, would you pay for something similar if Google offered it?
We asked you this question in a recent survey. That’s how you reacted.
How much would you pay for a Google version of Apple One?
Results
Apple One starts at $ 14.95, and that’s unsurprisingly what most readers would be willing to pay for a similar service from Google. More than 60% of respondents see a price between $ 10 and $ 15 as the best place for a service that includes YouTube Music, 100GB of Google Drive storage, Google Play Pass, and YouTube Premium. Only 16.5% of readers would be willing to pay between $ 1 and $ 4 more for this package.
Interestingly, the second most popular option was “$ 40 or more”. We’re not entirely sure if these respondents read the context of our survey, but it’s interesting to note that nearly 8% of readers would drop that amount on Google’s cheapest Apple One competitor.
According to the comments, we may have left out an option. Some readers are unwilling to spend a dime on Google’s bouquet. Read some more reader anecdotes below.
You told us that
- naduh: where is the $ 0 option? Personally, I don’t think Google’s products are good enough to get out of my pocket for that. And why should I spend money on a product that would kill Google after a year or two?
- Johnny Ravioli: $ 0.
- Rick45TX: If you could trust Google not to snoop around its associated storage and keep track of what you used for the services, I could consider it. But since it’s * Google * there is no way I would pay.
- Guy_Jorgen_Gold: The cost of all of these services combined is around $ 20, so obviously less.
- EasyCare: Will That Ever Happen? Many Google services come and go. Even if they are there, they are isolated and do not work well with each other.
- Sachouba: Why would I be willing to pay for it? The only worthwhile service is Google Drive. If all other services are free with a Google Drive subscription why not, but otherwise I’ll just stick with Spotify and YouTube Vanced.
