X’s Premium+ Plan Now Completely Ad-Free for Subscribers
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has been offering subscription plans for a while. Amongst them, right at the top of that list, is the Premium+ plan, priced at $16 per month— and it still had ads, until today.
As of today, all of the advertisements would be removed from X for those availing the Premium+ service plan. No distractions or advertisements, only smooth, seamless utility of the website for those who choose this form of premium service.
Premium+ provides the ad-free experience and much more, such as the largest boost for replies on the platform, rich text when writing articles with the ability to publish directly to X, and direct messages fully encrypted with zero compromise. They can manage their saved posts into bookmark folders and enjoy the Highlights tab that gives priority to important tweets and content.
Moreover, it is supportive of longer posts and videos, has a post editing feature, and allows users to gain a part of the money that comes from ads which appear as replies to their content. This gives subscribers part of the money they earn from the most engaged followers where they have a monthly subscription.
Apart from these functional benefits of the Premium+, they get a prestigious blue check added next to their username, telling everybody that this user is a premium one. Plus, there is early access extended to Grok AI, entry to X Pro with Analytics, and Media Studio—all to enhance content creation and its analysis.
Along with totally ad-free service, the X Premium+ subscription stands out well in terms of value for money. It therefore makes the platform even better positioned than ever to be regarded as genuinely user-focused.
