X has significantly increased its Premium+subscription fees, and the price of Grok 3 has almost doubled since its release

According to TechCrunch, following Elon Musk's AI company xAI's release of its latest AI model, Grok 3, X platform has significantly increased the price of its Premium+subscription plan. The plan allows users to access the Grok 3 model, and the monthly subscription fee has now increased to nearly $50. According to X's support page, the monthly fee for the US Premium+plan has been updated to $50, with an annual fee of $350. This is the second time X company has raised prices in the past few months. In December last year, the monthly fee for Premium+increased from $16 to $22. Based on these new prices, Premium+subscribers will pay more than twice the current fee. In addition, xAI has incorporated some features of Grok 3 into a separate SuperGrok program, which is provided through the Grok application. Therefore, features such as "deep search" and "inference" are only available to Premium+users. It is worth noting that the pricing of X is not consistent. When the reporter tried to subscribe to Premium+, X showed a monthly fee of $39.83 (annual fee of $477.95), but the final settlement page showed an annual fee of $395. Although the X support page shows a monthly fee of $50, the registration page lists a price of $48.40, and the settlement page shows a monthly fee of $40.
