All four subscription prices are considerably higher when signing up from the Android and iOS apps.

This means that you will need to have 2,500 followers who have paid for a Premium or Premium+ subscription to gain access to these features, which also include a blue verification check mark and the ability to monetize their posts. X shows fewer ads to Premium subscribers, while those who have a Premium+ subscription do not see any advertisements.
Both subscriptions offer features like the ability to edit or undo posts, increased character limit, post longer videos, background video playback, video downloads, and access to the Grok AI chatbot.
