What you pay extra vs the US rate for the new subscription plans on X ?
Quick breakdown for India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. X is banned in China
These percentages are charged extra from you compared to US users. Once again, you will be paying more compared to US users. Don't think it is because of exchange rate conversion.
USD price for Plus is $8, Premium is $30, Super is $100.
Plus: India ~0% | Pakistan +1.5% | Bangladesh +26%
Premium: India +19% | Pakistan +1% | Bangladesh +22%
Super: India +30% | Pakistan +30% | Bangladesh +22%
Purchasing power parity usually means lower prices for emerging economies. Here, users in the region are paying either equal to or significantly more than someone sitting in the United States.
My reading is that since corporate ad spending on X dropped significantly following the buyout, direct consumer and enterprise cash flow has become vital.
Rather than chasing sheer volume at cut-rate prices, the goal is extracting higher average revenue per paying user (ARPU) from dedicated power users worldwide. This is also known as Price Skimming Strategy which Elon Musk used for every other business he runs.
New Rates (per month) in India
Plus – ₹759
Premium – ₹3,399
Super – ₹12,399
I don't think anyone is paying these prices every month unless you are rich enough.
It's time to move out of X and grow the desi social media platform like Vync.
