- 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 Older official pricing PDFs show superseded X terms.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.
