Delhi : Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has introduced two new subscription levels for consumers in India: X Basic and Premium+. These plans are in addition to the current X Premium package, which costs Rs 650 per month for online users. At the time of filing, X's newly announced Basic and Premium+ are accessible online.

As per @premium, the Premium+ plan provides the "largest boost" to replies (in comparison to other subscriptions), eliminates adverts from the For You and Following feed, and grants access to all creative tools. The "most essential features" of the premium subscriptions are accessible with the Basic plan.

"We will be introducing two new categories on October 27, 2023: Basic and Premium+. We'll be introducing the option to quickly upgrade or reduce your current subscription tier in the upcoming weeks. We advise waiting for that launch if you're interested in upgrading to a new tier," the X Help Center said.

Prices for X Basic and Premium+

The monthly cost of an X Premium+ membership is Rs 1,300. The cost of the Basic membership is Rs 243 a month.

Plans: X Premium+, Premium, and Basic

Features like edit post, lengthy post, undo post, lengthier video upload, top articles, reader, background video playing, video download, no adverts in For You and Following, and the biggest boost to replies are included in the priciest offers. Ads appear in the For You and Following feeds, although the Basic tier does not give the biggest reply boost.

Regarding the distinction between the X Premium and Premium+ plans, the mid-level plan has less replies and half the adverts in For You. The other advantages don't change. The top-tier membership includes access to all creative hub capabilities, including post monetization, creator subscriptions, and online tools including X Pro, Media Studio, and Analytics. These are not included in the Basic plan.

X Premium+ offers security and verification features including encrypted direct messages, Blue checkmark, ID verification, and SMS-based two-step verification. The Basic package is devoid of the final two benefits—the checkmark and ID verification. All three plans include customization features including app icons, bookmark folders, theme, highlights tab, and the ability to hide subscriptions, the favorites tab, and the checkmark.
