Big shock to Indian users from X prices of premium plans increased by 35%

X New Premium Plan: If you are a regular user of microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), then this news is very important for you. Elon Musk's company X has increased the prices of its premium subscription plans, due to which Indian users will now have to pay up to 35% more. This change will be applicable to both new and existing users.

Monthly expense increased now

According to the new prices, if you want to take a one-month subscription of Premium Plus, then you will now have to pay ₹ 1,750. Earlier this plan was available for ₹ 1,300. That is, now you will have to pay ₹ 450 extra in every monthly bill.

Annual plans also became expensive

The prices of annual subscription have also been increased. The annual plan of Premium Plus will now be available for ₹ 18,300, whereas earlier it was available for ₹ 13,600. Due to this increase, customers taking long-term subscription will also have an additional financial burden.

Why were the prices increased?

X has given three major reasons behind the increase in the prices of premium plans:

Ad-free experience: Subscribers of premium plans will no longer be shown any kind of ads on the platform.

More benefits to creators: Content creators will get more payment than before for their work.

Promise of new features: New features will be added to the platform, which will improve the user experience.

Benefits of premium plans

X has claimed that users of premium plans will get additional benefits. These include a feature called 'Radar', which will help users find and share content. Apart from this, premium subscribers will get a chance to make better use of X's AI models.

Creators will get direct benefit

X has also clarified that a large portion of the revenue coming from premium subscription will be given directly to content creators. This move will motivate creators to create more engaging and effective content.

Impact on users

Although the company says that this price hike will benefit users more than before, the increased prices may increase the financial pressure on common customers.

If you want to be a part of X's premium plans, then you will have to make your plans keeping the new prices in mind. Whether this additional expense is a profitable deal for you or not, it completely depends on your needs and priorities.
