Twitter introduces expensive Premium Plus tier with even more benefits

After beginning to test a $1 per year subscription for new users in some countries, X (formerly Twitter) announced over the weekend that it had decided to launch an even more expensive tier than the one that allows users to be verified on the platform.

In an attempt to stop its revenue from falling to horrendous figures, X is now launching the Premium Plus tier, which costs no less than $16 per month. The information was confirmed by X Premium accountas well as details of the benefits those willing to pay for it will receive.

To begin with, Premium Plus will completely remove ads from the For you And Following power tabs. Most importantly, X promises to give Premium Plus subscribers the biggest boost to their responses compared to other Premium tiers or unverified users.

Premium Plus Benefits

Finally, X says Premium Plus subscribers will have access to its full suite of creation tools. All of these benefits are now available to those who subscribe to Premium Plus on the web. It’s not yet possible to subscribe to Premium Plus on mobile, but it will likely be added very soon.

However, Android and iOS users might be forced to pay for X’s Premium Plus plan due to the fees the company has to pay to Apple and Google. These costs are non-existent on the web because distribution is managed directly by X.

Currently, X offers three different subscription plans: Basic, Premium, and Premium Plus. The cheapest tier costs $3 per month, while the Premium and Premium Plus tiers are now available for $11 and $16, respectively. For more details on the benefits of each of these tiers, be sure to visit the dedicated X page.
