X currently offers Basic, Premium and Premium+. For creator monetization, the important distinction is that Premium and Premium+ include access to apply for Original Content Rewards and Creator Subscriptions, subject to eligibility. Basic does not provide the same creator-monetization access.

DECISION
Which one makes sense?
Premium is the straightforward starting point for an eligible creator who needs the monetization features. Premium+ can make sense when you also value the additional product features and the strongest reply prioritization. The higher tier should not be sold as a guarantee of monetization approval, reach or income.
X changes pricing and feature packaging periodically and by market, so the current price should always be checked inside X before subscribing.
