Why did the subscription plan prices decrease? According to Moneycontrol, Elon Musk’s company X has taken this step of reducing the subscription plan prices in India to attract users in India, the world’s second largest internet market. The prices of X’s plans on mobile apps are high because the company is recovering Google and Apple’s in-app commission from customers. Musk has long been trying to increase X’s revenue through subscriptions other than ads. However, a large part of the company’s revenue still comes from ads. According to estimates by app intelligence firm AppFigures, by December 2024, X had earned $16.5 million i.e. Rs 142 crore from in-app purchases through mobile apps. X launched subscription in India in 2023 X launched its Twitter Blue i.e. subscription plan in India in February 2023. The company had increased the price of its most expensive plan Premium+ twice in the last one year. The price cut of X’s subscription plan comes a day after the launch of Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI’s new AI model Grok 4. In March 2025, xAI had bought X in an all-stock deal worth $33 billion.
