Elon Musk has made a number of innovations after acquiring Twitter, which has millions of active users. He updated his name to ‘X’, which means everything. Changed its logo. In short, he shelved everything related to Twitter on the platform. It also updates some features exclusively for Premium subscribers. However, not content with this, Musk continues to bring new customs to the old village. Musk is preparing to expand its X Premium paid service by dividing it into different layers. Here are the details…
X Premium will be divided into new tiers, completely removing ads!
The name X Premium is mentioned frequently these days. Subscribers to the platform, which is normally free, have some privileges by paying a regular fee. So, did Elon Musk bring this innovation as well? Although all the changes are named after him, the subscription concept already existed before the company changed hands. Only the name was different. Everyone first knew this system under the name Twitter Blue.
For Musk, those who pay for X Premium are a little more privileged than other users. Premium subscribers have the opportunity to customize the app icon. It also has access to features like edit posts button, text formatting, etc. It can even publish longer posts and videos. However, it can provide access to X Pro (formerly TweetDeck). In addition, Musk announced that the video and voice calling feature that users have been eagerly awaiting will be exclusive to Premium subscribers only.
Currently, X Premium subscribers see fewer ads compared to other users for using the platform. However, in the future, Musk will give users the option to eliminate ads completely. Of course, everything has a price. It will divide its Premium subscription into tiers. And it will charge a higher price to users who want to browse the platform freely without seeing any ads.
The latest version of the X app is planned to have three new X Premium tiers. Basic, Standard and Plus. Basic tier users will continue to see ads regularly while using the platform. In the standard tier, the platform will show fewer ads. In the Plus tier, the platform will completely eliminate ads.
As for subscription fees, X Premium users pay $8 per month. If you subscribe via the X application on iOS or Android, the price you pay increases. Because the App Store and Google Play Store charge a 30 percent commission fee. The subscription fee naturally increases to $11. The fees determined by X for this new layer application have not been finalized yet. In addition, it remains unclear to what level it will take existing subscribers.
