Monthly billing.
X Pro
Legacy US web Premium+
US$40 monthly or US$395 annually
- Legacy X help explicitly includes Pro in Premium+
- Confirm the existing account's renewal amount and access
The X Subscription Premium
$30 monthly or $300 annually; currency unconfirmed
- New Premium includes full Premium+ benefits for eligible connected personal accounts
- Pro access follows from the documented benefit mapping; account access has not been tested
- Organization-managed and affiliate accounts cannot use this personal-account connection route
- Pro is bundled with subscription benefits. Legacy Premium and new Premium are different packages; the plan name alone does not establish Pro access.
- Legacy US web Premium+ lists US$40 monthly or US$395 annually. The new Premium document displays $30 monthly or $300 annually before sales tax without explicitly naming the currency.
- Within the legacy US option, twelve monthly payments total US$480 versus US$395 annually. Within the new displayed-dollar option, twelve monthly payments total $360 versus $300 annually. Confirm currency and eligibility before comparing the two options.
- Existing subscribers may keep their current plan; the official overview says a completed switch is permanent. Confirm renewal and refund treatment, including any store-billed subscription.
- The new subscription excludes organization-managed and affiliate accounts from personal-account connection. It should not be purchased on the assumption that it will unlock a client's managed account.
