X Revamps API Pricing for More Flexible Developer Access
4 days ago
X has updated its API pricing to provide more flexible access for developers, moving to a usage-based model instead of a flat fee. This includes fewer rate limits and a new dashboard for cost estimates. Selected developers can apply for a beta program with a $500 voucher. However, the new pricing may not significantly lower costs, as the basic package appears more expensive than before. Overall, X aims to attract back developers who left due to prior price hikes.
