X /Twitter subscriptions
X Premium is a premium subscription service that offers additional features to improve your experience on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). X Premium has three tiers: Basic, Premium, and Premium+, with more features available in each higher tier.
Basic: This tier includes essential Premium features like editing posts, longer posts and longer video uploads, reply prioritization, text formatting, bookmark folders, custom app icons, and more. The price for this tier is $3 per month or $32 per year.
Premium: This tier includes all Basic features plus a checkmark, reduced ads, access to apply for ads revenue sharing and creator subscriptions, larger reply prioritization, ID verification, Media Studio and more. The price for this tier is $8 per month or $84 per year.
Premium+: This tier includes all Premium features with additional benefits like no ads in the For You and Following timelines, largest reply prioritization, and access to Grok. Grok is a new feature that allows you to interact with artificial intelligence agents on X. The price for this tier is $16 per month or $168 per year.
X Premium is good for users who want to enhance and customize their experience on X, as well as access new features before they are available to more people. X Premium also aims to elevate quality conversations on the platform by giving subscribers more control over their posts and replies.
However, X Premium also has some drawbacks. Some users may not find the features worth the price, especially if they are not interested in editing posts, posting longer content, or interacting with AI agents. Some users may also be concerned about the privacy and security implications of ID verification and encrypted direct messages. Additionally, some users may feel that X Premium creates an unfair advantage for subscribers over non-subscribers in terms of visibility and engagement.
