Key takeaways
- X Premium has been listed at $8 a month or $84 a year on the US web.
- Basic costs $3 a month but does not include the checkmark.
- Premium+ is $40 a month and is mainly worth it for heavy Grok users who want no timeline ads.
- Subscribing on the web is usually cheaper than through the iPhone or Android app.
- Premium gives replies a ranking boost but does not grow an account without consistent posting.
- Always confirm the final price, including tax, on the X checkout screen.
X Premium costs $8 a month or $84 a year in the US when you subscribe on the web, based on the prices X has listed since early 2025. The cheaper Basic tier is $3 a month ($32 a year), and Premium+ is $40 a month ($395 a year). Prices are higher in the iPhone and Android apps, and X changes them with little notice, so confirm the figure on the checkout screen before you pay.
How much is X Premium in 2026, tier by tier?
There are three personal tiers: Basic, Premium and Premium+. Premium is the middle tier and the one most people mean when they search for the X Premium price. The table below shows US web prices as X has published them; treat them as a reference point, not a quote.
| Tier | Monthly (US web) | Annual (US web) | Checkmark | Ads in For You and Following |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $3 | $32 | No | Full ads |
| Premium | $8 | $84 | Yes, after review | About half |
| Premium+ | $40 | $395 | Yes, after review | None |
Annual billing saves money on every tier. On the listed prices, Premium annual saves $12 a year against paying monthly, Basic saves $4, and Premium+ saves $85. The trade-off is that you pay up front and X does not usually refund unused months if you cancel early.
Businesses have a separate product called Verified Organizations, which adds a gold checkmark and affiliate badges for staff accounts. It has been priced far higher than personal plans, with a Basic level around $200 a month and a full level around $1,000 a month in recent listings. Check the current figure on business.x.com before budgeting, because it has changed before.
What is the X Premium+ price in 2026, and does it include SuperGrok?
Premium+ is listed at $40 a month or $395 a year on the US web, and it is the tier X has raised most often. It went up more than once between late 2024 and early 2025, largely as X bundled more of its Grok AI features into it. If you subscribed at an older price, X may move you to the new price at your next renewal and email you first.
Does X Premium+ include SuperGrok?
Partly, and the wording matters. Premium+ gives you the highest Grok usage limits available inside X, and X and xAI have marketed it as including SuperGrok-level access. SuperGrok is also sold separately by xAI through grok.com and the Grok app, with its own billing, and new features have not always reached both at the same time.
If Grok is the main reason you are paying, do three checks before you subscribe:
- Read the Premium+ feature list on the X subscription page on the day you buy, not a months-old screenshot.
- Compare it with the standalone SuperGrok plan on grok.com, which may suit you better if you rarely post on X.
- Check whether you need Grok inside X (replies, post explanations, image generation in the composer) or in a separate app.
For many creators, Premium at $8 already includes enough Grok access for occasional drafting and summaries. Premium+ makes more sense if you use Grok daily and also want an ad-free timeline.
What do you get with each X Premium tier in 2026?
Each tier includes everything in the tier below it, plus extra features. X keeps an official list on its X Premium help page, which is the best place to confirm what is live in your country. Here is how the tiers have typically broken down.
Basic ($3 a month)
- Edit a post within a short window after publishing.
- Longer posts (up to 25,000 characters) and text formatting such as bold and italics.
- Undo post, so you can pull back a post seconds after hitting send.
- Bookmark folders and longer video uploads.
- A small boost to how your replies are ranked in conversations.
Basic does not include the checkmark, which surprises people who expect any paid tier to come with it.
Premium ($8 a month)
- The blue checkmark, after X reviews your account. See X's rules on verified accounts for what can get it removed.
- A larger reply boost than Basic.
- About half the ads in the For You and Following timelines.
- Access to creator tools, including eligibility for creator revenue sharing and paid subscriptions.
- X Pro, the multi-column dashboard formerly known as TweetDeck, plus Media Studio.
- Post analytics and Grok access with higher limits than free accounts.
- Optional ID verification, which adds a label to your profile.
Premium+ ($40 a month)
- No ads in the For You and Following timelines.
- The largest reply boost.
- The highest Grok usage limits on X, including newer models as they launch.
- Long-form Articles and extra tools such as Radar for tracking trends, where available.
| Feature | Basic | Premium | Premium+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edit and undo posts | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Checkmark | No | Yes | Yes |
| Reply boost | Small | Larger | Largest |
| Ads | Full | About half | None in main timelines |
| Creator monetisation eligibility | No | Yes | Yes |
| X Pro dashboard | No | Yes | Yes |
| Grok limits | Basic level | Higher | Highest |
Why does X Premium cost more on iPhone or Android, and in Canada?
App purchases cost more because Apple and Google take a cut of in-app subscriptions, and X passes part of that on. The gap is usually a few dollars a month on Premium and more on Premium+. If you want the lowest price, subscribe at x.com in a browser rather than inside the app.
A few other things change what you actually pay:
- Sales tax: some US states and Canadian provinces add tax at checkout, so the final charge can be higher than the listed price.
- Currency: Canadian users are billed in Canadian dollars, and X sets those prices separately rather than converting the US price daily.
- Billing source: a subscription bought through Apple or Google must be managed and cancelled there, not on x.com.
- Promotions: X occasionally runs discounts on annual plans, often around the end of the year. These are not guaranteed, so do not wait on one if you need the features now.
The safest rule is simple. Whatever price you read in an article, including this one, the checkout screen on x.com is the figure that counts.
