X (formerly known as Twitter), has hiked the price of its Premium+ subscription by a whopping 98% to Rs 3,470 per month in India after the launch of Grok 3 generative AI model.
This is the second price hike for X’s Premium+ service. Prior to this, it cost Rs 1,750 per month. The annual plan has also seen a significant increase, jumping from Rs 18,300 per year to Rs 34,340 per year. X launched its Premium+ subscription plan in October 2023, initially priced at Rs 1,300 per month. The prices of X’s other subscription plans remain unchanged, with the basic plan still costs Rs 244 per month, and the premium plan is priced at Rs 650 per month.
Premium+ subscribers on X have a privilege to enjoy an ad-free experience in most areas, including their timelines, post replies, and profiles. This provides a smoother and more uninterrupted way to enjoy content on the platform.
Global Prices
Shortly after the launch of Grok 3, xAI’s latest AI model, X more than doubled the price of its Premium+ subscription plan to nearly $50 per month.
This plan grants users access to the newest model AI. It is worth noting that this is the second price hike for the Premium+ plan in just a couple of months. The previous increase was done in December, from $16 to $22 per month. As a result, Premium+ subscribers will now pay more than double their current rate.
Grok 3 Now Available For Free
Grok 3 is now available for free to everyone until the servers reach capacity, announced xAI. If you have an X Premium+ or SuperGrok subscription, you’ll get to keep using this AI even after the servers are full, plus you’ll get early access to new features like voice mode. Elon Musk confirmed that this AI will be free for a limited time. Prior to this update, only Premium+ subscribers could use Grok 3.
“This is it: The world’s smartest AI, Grok 3, now available for free (until our servers melt). X Premium+ and SuperGrok users will have increased access to Grok 3, in addition to early access to advanced features like Voice Mode,” wrote xAI on X.
