Good News! Elon Musk’s X has heard the cries of third-party developers who want access to the platform and their applications and introduced a new payment model.
Bad news? In some ways, it seems more expensive than the previous one-time subscription model.
On Monday, X’s Account Developers Forum officially revealed the beta launch of the Pay-Per-Worthent API model.

“We’re expanding the closed beta to new and powerful users who want to deploy amazing apps to X,” read a series of posts from @xdevelopers. “Our top focus is empowering developers by opening up our developer platform.”
Since Elon Musk took over X, the company formerly known as Twitter, the platform has lost its third-party application ecosystem. Twitter was once known to have the strongest ecosystem of any major social media platform. But Musk’s decision to turn the platform’s free API into a mandatory subscription service — one with an initial price point $42,000 per month – to destroy that love.
Long after many other developers were shut down, X launched lower tiers are lower At $200 and $5,000 per month. However, the creators of Ofter-Presitnalt Getter-Precials found that the lowest tier was more for hobbyists than an application with any semblance of a growing user base. And that $5,000 per month price was out of reach for most devs.
So, what’s the deal with the Pay-Per-Worthent API?
The new Pay-Per-Wid operating model looks like Musk and Company’s Trazy to lure developers back. However, when the developers saw the price of the Pay-Per-bapple model, it seemed that the new X API would be more expensive than before.
Bright light speed
Let’s do some math.
Previously, in the Basic API Tier, a third-party application could read 15,000 posts and publish 50,000 posts per month for $200. Under the Pay-Per-Work usage model, one reading post costs $0.005 and one published post costs $0.01. This means to read and publish the same amount of posts as $200 per month for the basic API tier, the developer will now pay $575 per month.

X API users who use the full Pro version will find that it is more expensive under the new model. Under that type, the app can read 1,000,000,000,000 posts and publish 300,000 posts per month for $5,000. Under the new spending plan? The same usage increases by $8,000 per month.

However, according to one X employee, the new operating model is Pay-Per-Worther It doesn’t touch business plans. One X Enterprise API customer as well – meeting At the stage that the self-use model of Pay-Per-Inter-It-Medived is emphasized above in the Pro plan, and applications that require more than what is required to register for $ 42,000 per month with the APEPRISE business plan.
It is likely, depending on the application, that some developers will find a new usage model that pays more for a specific application use case. It looks like the new model could fill the gap found between the $200 CAST X’s and the basic Pro. However, some may find them paying more.
Before musk took the X, Twitter was accessible Many working clientssuch as Tweetbot and Twitterfific, which provide personalized information for users. The stage was that we had to have it Social media posting appAs time goes on, Twitter is rightly integrated with many social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Twitter has also been used for integration just one word a great war chief video the game the console.
Since Musk’s takeover, most of those conglomerates, including Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, have gone out of business, likely due to API pricing.
The developers are worried about the payment system, we must note that this is the end of the beta, and therefore it is subject to further changes, hopefully for the better.
