X Premium Price (2026): New Plans vs Legacy Pricing

Current X Subscription prices

New customers: the public official price page lists the four paid monthly tiers below. Existing customers: first check whether your bill still names a legacy X Premium plan. All amounts below are USD list prices checked November 5, 2026, before applicable tax and fees; local checkout is the final quote.

Annual totals come from the official subscription pricing documentation. *Monthly equivalents are our calculations rounded to cents, not monthly payment options. Free remains available at $0 with limited usage and standard X access.

Which “Premium” are you comparing? New Premium ($30/month) and legacy X Premium ($8/month) share a word, not the same package. Likewise, new Plus and legacy Premium+ are different tiers.

What do Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra include?

The official X benefits guide maps Plus to a checkmark, creator tools and fewer ads. Premium, Super and Ultra provide X Premium+ benefits. You must connect an eligible personal X account; organization-managed and affiliate accounts cannot be connected.

Grok Bot starts at Premium. Super and Ultra primarily raise the included AI allowance. Do not pay $100 or $200 just to obtain X benefits already available at $30. A checkmark remains subject to account requirements; it does not promise income or audience growth.

The current product page describes Premium as ad-free scrolling on most surfaces. Avoid interpreting that as a promise that every surface is free of promoted content.

Legacy X Premium prices for existing subscribers

The X Premium FAQ still publishes these legacy US web starting prices. Its transition notice says existing subscribers retain their plan, price and features until they choose to switch. This table is not an offer of legacy signup to every new account.

Region, taxes and mobile billing can change the total. Read your existing renewal notice rather than assuming either table overrides your contract.

Is the first month really 50% off?

The October 13 post by @dyordo42 highlighted the new tiers and mentioned first-month discounts on some plans. Its four monthly figures match the official public list checked for this update. The discount is not confirmed as a universal current offer. Check your own checkout for eligibility, duration and the renewal amount.

For example, if an eligible $30 monthly plan is offered at $15 for the first month, twelve uninterrupted monthly payments total $345 ($15 + 11 x $30), before tax and extras. It would not cost $15 every month. This is an illustration, not a verified promotion.

What can cost extra beyond the subscription?

According to the official subscription overview, Grok and Cursor draw from a shared weekly included pool. It is not a separate full allowance for each product. Third-party models in Cursor, such as Claude and GPT, are charged separately from first use.

The live pricing FAQ also distinguishes Grok API access from API usage: API calls are billed separately at model rates. Before subscribing, record whether paid top-ups are enabled and how spending limits work for your account.

Your working budget is subscription + tax/fees + paid additional usage + separately billed API/model use. A bundle only replaces bills for services you actually use and successfully consolidate. Review overlapping AI subscriptions before adding another recurring payment.

Should you switch an existing subscription?

The official account-unification instructions say a completed switch cannot be undone. Verify the exact accounts before checkout. If you already pay for Cursor, start from Cursor’s unification flow; starting from X does not include Cursor.

Eligible old plans are cancelled during the switch, with unused-time refunds handled separately from the new charge. Important billing exceptions apply: Cursor subscriptions through Apple require manual cancellation; Apple decides refunds for eligible X/Grok purchases; Google Play subscriptions should be checked for continued renewal. Gifted X Premium and Apple Family Sharing are excluded from cancellation/refund under this flow.

Compare the old bill with the replacement’s full renewal cost and the benefits you would retain. For a feature-based decision, read is X Premium worth it?.

Monthly or annual: where is the break-even?

Using the published list prices, all four paid annual tiers cost ten monthly payments. At ten active months the fees tie; annual billing saves money only beyond ten months within that year, before promotions and extras. For Premium, nine monthly payments cost $270, ten cost $300, and twelve cost $360 versus $300 annually.

Use the monthly versus annual calculator with your actual checkout totals, expected active months and any introductory discount. Annual billing commits the full payment upfront. A monthly trial can be a sensible way to learn whether the paid features are useful before that commitment.
