In response to rumors and growing user demands, X has officially launched new Premium+ Plans and a new entry-level Basic Plan. This move aims to provide users with more choices and an enhanced experience when using the platform.
The New Plans
The new plans include the Basic Plan priced at Rs. 243 per month (Web), which is approximately USD 3. This plan includes ads and offers basic features such as post editing, undo post, SMS two-factor authentication (2FA), and customization options. However, it does not include creator features and the coveted check mark.
Existing users can opt for the Premium Plan, available at Rs. 650 per month (Web). This plan includes all premium and creator features but comes with half the number of ads, as explained by the company.
For those who wish to enjoy an ad-free experience, X offers the Premium+ Plan priced at Rs. 1300 per month (Web), equivalent to USD 16. This plan provides the most significant boost for replies compared to other Premium tiers and unverified users, according to the company.
