"But now, X seems to be looking to re-align itself with the developer community, as it seeks to make X a bigger element of focus, while also hopefully integrating xAI and Grok into more projects. As you can see in this table, X's new pricing structure is based on usage, which means that your data access costs now increase depending on your activity."
"And there's also an added element of the new structure, and a new incentive for X to be looking to work with developers: As per X: When you purchase X API credits, you can earn free xAPI credits based on your cumulative spend during a billing cycle. So now, when you cross certain thresholds in X API usage, you'll also be eligible to earn xAI API credits worth up to 20% of your cumulative spend."
X has shifted API pricing from expensive monthly subscriptions to a usage-based model that charges developers according to activity, enabling projects to scale with demand. Prior API price hikes forced many third-party tools to shut down, largely to limit AI projects' access to large amounts of X data. The new structure includes an incentive: purchasing X API credits can earn free xAI credits based on cumulative spend during a billing cycle, with eligibility for xAI credits worth up to 20% at certain thresholds. That incentive aims to encourage experimentation with xAI and Grok and to expand X's AI use cases while xAI faces high cash burn and needs broader revenue opportunities.
