When I first read about the Pixel Pass, I wished it made sense for people on existing family plans. But digging deeper, I see that's the least of the problems there.
Some red flags:
* If/when you cancel Pixel Pass in the future, it will also cancel your Google One membership. If you're over the 15GB free tier, your email will stop working (!!!)[0].
* You have to cancel your existing YouTube Premium subscription before you can sign up.

- ThatPlayer 5y agoTheir claim of "Save up to $294 over two years" seems to be based on monthly rather than annual prices too. If you get to checkout, they list "Pixel Pass services (Google One 200GB)" as $17.97/mo. Annual prices for Google One and Play Pass are both $29.99. Add in YouTube Premium which doesn't have an annual plan for $11.99, and you're looking at $17/mo. So the real savings are entirely from the phone + warranty where you'll save about $200 on the Pixel 6 Pro, but you're still forced to buy all those Google services you may or may not need. I'm also on a family plan (with the grandfathered YouTube pricing), so it doesn't seem to be worth it.
