X is planning to change its API pricing scheme to a revenue share model, according to reports.

X recently began sending out emails to paid subscribers of its Enterprise API plans, which start at $ 42,000 per month, informing them of the upcoming change.

X attributes the changing API subscription model to the "rise of Large Language Models ".

Musk 's X charges developers an additional $1 per month for each X account connected to their app.

X would later introduce a "cheaper" $ 5,000 -per-month Pro plan, but by then many apps had already shut down or removed X from their platforms.
