Unveiling the New X Subscription Plans: Basic, Premium, and Premium+
In an era marked by the continuous evolution of social media platforms, X (Twitter) has taken a significant stride by introducing two additional subscription plans, expanding its subscription offering to three tiers: Basic, Premium, and Premium+. These new plans are now available globally, and even the Indian audience can take advantage of these exciting features, with prices starting at just Rs 243 per month. Let’s delve into the details and discover what each of these subscriptions has to offer.
X Subscription Plans Overview
X Basic
The X Basic subscription is the most affordable option, priced at just Rs 243 per month or Rs 2,590 per year. Subscribers to the Basic plan gain access to a wide range of enhanced features. These include:

Customization Bundle
Personalize your X experience by customizing app icons, bookmark folders, navigation, themes, likes, and subscriptions. You also gain access to the highlights tab for a tailored experience.
Despite these impressive perks, the Basic subscription does have a few limitations. Subscribers won’t receive the coveted blue tick or ID verification, and they won’t have access to the creator hub, which provides tools like creator subscriptions, X Pro, Media Studio, and analytics.
X Premium+
For those seeking the ultimate X experience, the X Premium+ subscription is the way to go. Priced at Rs 1,300 per month or Rs 13,600 annually, it offers an all-inclusive package, including all features from the Basic subscription. However, there are two key additions:
Blue Tick and ID Verification
Join the ranks of verified users with the blue tick, enhancing your credibility and authenticity.
Creator Suite
Unlock the full potential of X with access to the creator suite, featuring essential tools for content creators, such as creator subscriptions, X Pro, Media Studio, and analytics.
X Premium
Until recently, X Premium was the sole subscription plan available. Priced at Rs 650 per month or Rs 6,800 per year, it offers most of the features provided by the Basic and Premium+ subscriptions. However, there are a few distinctions:
For ads in the “For You” and “Following” sections, Premium users will only see half the number compared to Premium+ users.
Premium users receive a ‘Larger’ reply boost, while Premium+ subscribers enjoy the ‘Largest’ reply boost.
It’s essential to note that the introduction of these new subscription plans has led to some fundamental features becoming part of the paid subscription model. Notably, X is currently testing a mandatory subscription for actions like sharing posts and liking them, features that are typically free on other social media platforms. Although this test is currently limited to two countries and new users, it hints at the evolving direction X is taking.
Conclusion
With the rollout of these new subscription plans, X has redefined its approach to providing a more tailored and enriched experience for its users. Whether you’re a casual user or a dedicated content creator, there’s a subscription plan that suits your needs. Explore the benefits and choose the plan that aligns with your goals on the platform.
