- Paid list prices are per seat; annual rates are monthly equivalents of an annual commitment.
- Paid self-service plans include 10 social profiles. The official pricing PDF distinguishes additional profiles at $10/month on annual billing and $15/month on monthly billing; confirm the current checkout quote. X profiles are separately purchased and do not consume this profile allowance.
- There's a permanent free plan (3 profiles, 1 user, 10 scheduled posts, 100 inbox items a month) alongside a 30-day trial of Advanced features, no card required.
- Standard, Professional and Advanced annual rates are $79, $119 and $149 per user/month, versus $99, $149 and $199 monthly. Savings differ by tier.
- Current X documentation lists X Lite at $29 and X Plus at $69 per connected X profile/month (also quoted in EUR). Lite covers publishing; Plus adds inbox/reporting and starts collecting data when activated. Older official pricing PDFs show superseded X terms.
- Advanced Listening, Advocacy (employee advocacy), and Competitive Benchmarking are separate add-ons billed on quote with a demo required, not included in the base plans.
- USD base-plan rates are corroborated by the official pricing PDF. Confirm the current checkout quote; current help takes priority for conflicting X add-on details.
