You can use the YouTube music app with a standard (free) YouTube account, at least on iOS. But the audio only keeps playing in the background if you pay for YouTube music. And I think you can’t download music to play offline.

For what it’s worth, YouTube Premium ($14/ month) includes YouTube music and removes ads for YouTube.

Having YouTube premium means I can use it on any platform. I can use YouTube music on my phone with CarPlay and listen while driving, use the built-in YouTube app that hotel TVs have when I travel for work, watch things on my work computer, on my phone, or using my PS5.
