The promotional price marks the third anniversary since the introduction of X Premium, shortly after Musk took over Twitter, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk.

This offer is part of X’s efforts to expand its customer base and is only available for a short time, exclusively to new members who have not paid for a premium before. Users can get the X Premium subscription for just Rs 89, which usually costs Rs 427 on PC and Rs 470 if paid through the mobile platform. The Premium Plus tier can be purchased for Rs 890 instead of its normal price of Rs 2,570 per month.

“Get Premium for $89 in your first month” and “It’s Premium’s 3rd birthday! Enjoy our anniversary offer.” Currently being screened on the X stage as part of this festival.

How to get X Premium for Rs 89?

To avail the Rs 89 offer, users need to log in to their X account through the app or website, navigate to their profile icon and select “Premium” from the sidebar. The discounted price will be visible to eligible users, and payment can be completed using credit or debit cards, UPI or App Store purchases when subscribing on mobile.

However, this offer is only for new subscribers. Existing Premium members are not eligible. Additionally, after the first month, the subscription automatically renews at the standard rate of ₹427 per month, or ₹470 if paid through the mobile app platform.

What do you get with X Premium?

For content creators, X Premium offers monetization opportunities. If a user’s post receives enough reach, X will pay them for their engagement, following a similar model to YouTube. Other features for premium users include video downloads, the ability to create communities, use bold and italic in posts, organize bookmarks into folders, customize X app icons, and higher usage limits for the Grok AI chatbot.

Notably, if you subscribe to premium on X you also get the verified blue tick. Premium users also get additional benefits like increased visibility for their posts, the ability to edit posts after publishing, upload longer videos than free users, and undo posts within a specific window.

Premium subscribers can share up to 25,000 characters of content. This expanded capability is targeted towards creators and those who want to share in-depth content. Although premium subscribers see fewer ads than free or basic tier users, X notes that the experience is not completely ad-free. For those wanting a completely ad-free timeline, the company offers an additional Premium Plus subscription.
