Is X Premium worth it?

Premium does not pay anything on its own. Payouts come from Original Content Rewards, and X only admits accounts that meet every requirement below. Meeting them does not guarantee admission; X reviews each application.

Once you are in, the price is rarely the problem. At the calibrated tech rate of about $1.23 per 1,000 verified impressions, $8 a month is covered by roughly 6,500 verified impressions. The eligibility pace of 166,667 a month is the real threshold.

1. 1

   Enter your verified impressions for a month. Or switch to total impressions and pick how verified-heavy your audience is.

2. 2

   Pick your plan. Premium at $8 or Premium+ at $40 a month. Both use the same payout rate, because X does not publish a different one.

3. 3

   Read the verdict. Below the eligibility bar the payout is $0 and the tool shows the gap. Above it, you see the estimated payout against the price.

• It does not check your account or whether X will approve your application.
• It prices only the payout. Reach, reply prioritization and other features are worth what they are worth to you.
• Prices shown are X web starting prices in US dollars. App store and local prices differ.
• Payouts swing between periods. The same account earned between about $385 and $1,470 per million verified impressions.

Is X Premium worth it for content creators?

Only as an income play once you qualify for Original Content Rewards: an active Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business plan, 500,000 Home timeline impressions from verified users in the last 90 days (about 166,667 a month, replies excluded) and 500 verified followers. Below that bar the payout is $0. Above it, Premium at $8 a month usually pays for itself; the real payout behind this calculator was $856.43 for 14 days.

Is X Premium+ worth it compared with Premium?

For payouts, not by itself. X does not publish a higher payout rate for Premium+, so this calculator uses the same rate for both. Premium+ costs $40 a month against $8 and adds the largest reply prioritization, no ads, Articles and higher Grok limits. Pay for it if you use those features, not for a bigger payout.

How much does X Premium cost?

On the web, Basic starts at $3 a month, Premium at $8 a month or $84 a year, and Premium+ at $40 a month or $395 a year, before tax. Prices vary by country and app store. Basic does not qualify for Original Content Rewards.

What do I get from Premium besides payouts?

X lists a checkmark after review, reply prioritization, reduced ads, posts up to 25,000 characters, a one-hour edit window and access to Creator Subscriptions. Whether that is worth $8 depends on how you use X, which a payout calculator cannot measure.

Where do I find my verified impressions?

Look in your X analytics for impressions from verified users; that is the figure X pays on. If you only know total impressions, switch the calculator to total and pick how verified-heavy your audience is. It then estimates the verified figure, with a wider range.
