How much is X Premium per month?

In the US on the web, X's help center lists Basic at $3 a month, Premium at $8 and Premium+ at $40, before tax. Since October 12, 2026, new customers are being moved to The X Subscription, where Plus costs $8 a month and Premium costs $30.

How much is X Premium per year?

X's help center lists $32 a year for Basic, $84 for Premium and $395 for Premium+ in the US on the web. On The X Subscription, Plus is $80 a year and Premium is $300 a year, according to its pricing page.

Why is X Premium more expensive on iPhone?

In-app purchases cost more than web subscriptions. As of October 2026, the US App Store lists X Premium at $11 a month, Premium Basic at $4 and Premium Plus at $50. Subscribing on x.com is cheaper for the same tier.

What is The X Subscription?

It's a new plan announced on October 12, 2026 that bundles X Premium benefits, Grok and the Cursor coding app. It has Free, Plus ($8), Premium ($30), Super ($100) and Ultra ($200) monthly tiers, and new customers start on it.

What happened to Twitter Blue?

Twitter Blue was renamed X Premium in 2023 and later split into the Basic, Premium and Premium+ tiers. If you're looking for the Twitter Blue price, the closest equivalent today is the Premium tier at $8 a month on the web in the US.

Does the Basic tier get a blue checkmark?

No. X's help center lists the checkmark only for Premium and Premium+. Basic includes editing, longer posts, longer video uploads and smaller reply prioritization, but no checkmark and no ad reduction.

Can I get a refund if I cancel X Premium?

Generally no. X's help center says canceling won't refund amounts already paid; your features last until the end of the billing period. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge.

X Premium Price 2026: Every Tier, Monthly and Yearly

The X Premium price in the US is $3 a month for Basic, $8 a month for Premium and $40 a month for Premium+ when you subscribe on the web, according to X’s help center. Paying yearly costs $32, $84 and $395. Subscribing in the iPhone app costs more, and prices outside the US are set per country.

There’s a catch this month. On October 12, 2026, the company behind Grok launched The X Subscription, a single plan that bundles X Premium benefits with Grok and the Cursor coding app. New customers start there, with paid plans from $8 a month, while existing Premium subscribers keep their current tier and price unless they switch. This guide covers both price lists, what each tier actually includes, how to subscribe and cancel, and whether it’s worth paying for at all.

Prices as of October 2026, US dollars, before tax. X changes prices and tiers often, so check the Premium page on x.com before you pay.

X Premium prices at a glance

These are the three classic X Premium tiers, as listed in the pricing table on X’s help center and the US App Store listing for the X app.

Tier	Web, monthly	Web, yearly	iPhone app, monthly	iPhone app, yearly
Basic	$3	$32	$4	$42
Premium	$8	$84	$11	$114.99
Premium+	$40	$395	$50	$490

Three things stand out:

The web is the cheapest place to subscribe. The App Store charges about a third more for Basic and Premium and $10 a month more for Premium+.
Yearly billing saves money. On the web, yearly Premium works out to $7 a month instead of $8, and yearly Premium+ to about $33 instead of $40.
Tax and fees come on top. X’s help center says prices are “plus any tax, e.g. VAT, and your payment method fees.”

X’s help center doesn’t publish Android prices, and Google Play prices can differ from both the web and the App Store, so check the price shown at checkout.

The X Subscription: the new plans from October 2026

The X Subscription was announced on October 12, 2026. According to the announcement and its pricing documentation, it replaces separate subscriptions to X Premium, Grok’s SuperGrok and Cursor for new customers with one plan and one shared usage allowance for Grok and Cursor that resets weekly.

Plan	Monthly	Yearly	What you get on X
Free	$0	$0	Standard X
Plus	$8	$80	A checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads
Premium	$30	$300	Full X Premium+ benefits
Super	$100	$1,000	Full X Premium+ benefits
Ultra	$200	$2,000	Full X Premium+ benefits

The higher plans differ mainly in how much Grok and Cursor usage they include: the documentation describes Premium as 4 times the Plus allowance, Super as 15 times and Ultra as 50 times. Grok Bot, the background AI assistant, starts at the Premium plan.

What this means in practice:

If you only want X features, Plus at $8 is the comparable plan. It matches the classic Premium tier’s monthly price, with yearly billing at $80 instead of $84.
Premium+ got cheaper for new customers. Full Premium+ benefits now come with the $30 Premium plan instead of $40, and the plan also includes Grok and Cursor usage.
The $3 Basic tier has no direct match. The cheapest paid plan in the new lineup is $8.

The X Subscription’s documentation says new customers, including people with only a free X account, start on the new plans. X’s help center, however, still lists the classic tiers and their prices, and the App Store still sells them. The rollout is gradual, so what you see on the Premium page may depend on your country and when you check. The bundle’s own documentation doesn’t say whether Plus includes every Basic-tier feature, such as editing and longer posts, so confirm on the checkout page if one of those matters to you.

If you already pay for X Premium

Nothing changes unless you choose to switch. The X Subscription’s documentation says existing X Premium, SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers keep their plan, price and features. If you switch:

Your current X Premium subscription is canceled and you get a prorated refund for unused time. For App Store subscriptions, Apple decides the refund.
The new plan is charged in full and starts a new billing cycle that day.
The switch is permanent. The documentation says it can’t be undone.
If you have Premium+ today, the documentation says to choose the $30 Premium plan or higher to keep Premium+ benefits.
Only personal X accounts can be connected. Accounts managed by an organization, including affiliate accounts, can’t.

X Premium prices outside the US

X sets local prices per country. A few examples from the help center’s web pricing table:

Country	Basic, monthly	Premium, monthly	Premium+, monthly
United Kingdom	£3	£8	£31
Eurozone (e.g. Germany, France)	€3	€8	€38
Canada	C$3.75	C$10	C$56
Australia	A$4.88	A$13	A$62
India	₹243.75	₹650	₹3,470
Turkey	₺56.25	₺150	₺1,450

Many smaller markets are billed in US dollars at the US price. The full table on X’s help center lists every country, and as always, mobile app prices are set separately.

What each X Premium tier includes

Here is what X’s help center lists for each classic tier as of October 2026. Higher tiers include everything in the tiers below them.

Feature	Basic	Premium	Premium+
Edit posts (1-hour window)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Longer posts (up to 25,000 characters)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Longer video uploads (about 3 hours, 8GB)	Yes	Yes	Yes
Bookmark folders, text formatting, app icons	Yes	Yes	Yes
Create a Community	Yes	Yes	Yes
Reply prioritization	Small	Larger	Largest
Blue checkmark (after review)	No	Yes	Yes
Fewer ads	No	About 50% fewer in For You and Following	No ads in most areas
Original Content Rewards and Creator Subscriptions	No	Can apply	Can apply
ID verification, Media Studio, Articles	No	Yes	Yes
Grok	No extra limits listed	Increased limits	SuperGrok and Grok Bot
X Pro (multi-column timelines), Radar	No	No	Yes

A few details from the help center that the table can’t hold:

Editing gives you a one-hour window to make a limited number of changes, and only works on original posts and quotes. Our guide on how to edit a post on X covers the rules.
Longer posts can be read by anyone, but only subscribers can write them. Our Twitter character limit guide explains how the 280 and 25,000 limits are counted.
Longer video uploads work on x.com and the iPhone app only, according to X.
Fewer ads on Premium means roughly twice as many regular posts between ads in your two main timelines, but X says it doesn’t apply to ads in replies, on profiles, in Explore or promoted trends. Premium+ removes ads from most areas, though X says occasional sponsored content may still appear.
The checkmark only appears after X reviews your account, and changing your profile photo, display name or username removes it until the account is reviewed again. Our guide on how to get verified on X walks through the requirements.
Monetization isn’t automatic. Premium makes you eligible to apply, but you still need to meet the impression and follower thresholds in our X monetization requirements guide.

X also says features vary by platform and country and may change over time, so the list on the Premium page in your app is the final word.

Twitter Blue price: what happened to it

If you searched for the Twitter Blue price, you’re looking for a product that no longer exists under that name. Twitter Blue became X Premium in 2023, after Twitter rebranded as X, and was later split into the three tiers above. The closest match to the old $8-a-month Twitter Blue with a blue checkmark is today’s Premium tier, which is still $8 a month on the web in the US, or Plus on the new X Subscription at the same price.

According to X’s help center:

On the web

Go to x.com and select Premium in the side menu.
Pick a tier and choose monthly or yearly billing.
Verify your phone number if you haven’t already.
Confirm the payment.

On iPhone or Android

Open the profile menu and tap Premium.
Pick a tier and follow the in-app purchase steps.
Verify your phone number if asked.

X’s help center also notes a few reasons you may not be able to sign up: accounts that haven’t been active in the last 30 days, or that changed their profile photo, display name or username in the previous 3 days, may be blocked, and every subscriber needs a verified phone number. X doesn’t offer free trials of Premium at the moment.

How to cancel X Premium

Cancel on the same platform where you subscribed:

Bought on x.com: cancel from your subscription settings on X. If you’re on The X Subscription, its documentation says you manage and cancel it from the Billing & invoices page in the Grok dashboard (grok.com/dashboard).
Bought in the iPhone app: cancel in your iPhone’s Settings, under your name and Subscriptions.
Bought on Android: cancel in the Google Play Store.

X’s help center says to cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge, and that canceling doesn’t refund amounts already paid. Your features, including the checkmark, stay until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel anything.

Is X Premium worth it?

It depends on what you use X for. An honest breakdown:

Casual reader: Probably not. Basic’s editing and longer posts are nice, but you don’t need them to read and reply. If ads bother you most, note that Basic doesn’t reduce them.
Regular poster who wants replies seen: Premium is the tier most people mean. The checkmark and larger reply prioritization help your replies rank higher in busy threads, though X says subscription status is only one ranking factor. It won’t fix weak content.
Creator who wants to earn: Premium (or Plus on the new plan) is the entry ticket to Original Content Rewards and Creator Subscriptions, but payouts depend on hitting real thresholds. Run the numbers in our monetization guide before you treat it as an investment.
Heavy Grok user: Compare carefully. For new customers, the $30 X Subscription Premium plan now includes full Premium+ benefits and more AI usage than the old $40 Premium+ tier.
Brand or organization: Look at Premium Business instead, which gives a gold checkmark and affiliate badges.

Premium can improve your visibility at the margins, but it isn’t a growth strategy by itself. Posting at the right times and writing posts people want to share matter more; our guide on how the X algorithm works explains why.

X’s help center lists Basic at $3, Premium at $8 and Premium+ at $40 a month in the US on the web, or $32, $84 and $395 a year.

Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal on the platform where you subscribed; refunds aren’t given for time already paid.
