About Creator Subscriptions

After you enroll in Subscriptions, anyone can subscribe to you for a monthly fee to unlock exclusive perks and benefits, like bonus content and closer access to you. When subscribers reply to your posts, you’ll see a badge next to their name so it’s easy to recognize and connect with them.

Your earnings are based on how many subscribers you have and the price you choose, minus standard platform fees (like Apple or Google).

Exclusive posts
People who have a Subscriptions offering can share Subscribers-only posts with their Subscribers. 

Subscriber badge
Subscribers will stand out with badges next to their name whenever they reply to the person they’ve Subscribed to. These badges are public.

Subscribers Tab
Subscriptions creators (on iOS only) can now find a tab in their Notifications timeline that’s dedicated to Subscriber activity.

Subscription links
A dedicated link to your Subscription page lets you share information about your Subscription offering on and off X so you can grow your audience.

Subscriber-only replies
Creators can now choose to limit replies on their public posts to only their subscribers. Creators’ posts will still be public, but only people with an active subscription to the creator can reply to the post.

Subscriber-only Spaces
Subscriptions creators can host live subscriber-only conversations when they start a Space and select “Only Subscribers can join.” Read more about how to use Spaces.

To be eligible for Subscriptions, you must meet our minimum application requirements:

1. Be 18 years or older
2. Active in the past 30 days
3. Have at least 2,000 verified followers
   
4. Have at least 5M organic impressions within the last 3 months

To see the complete list of eligibility criteria, please read our Subscriptions policy.

At this time, Creators who meet the eligibility criteria can sign up globally in countries supported by our payments provider. If you are eligible to apply, simply go to Creator Studio (in your sidebar) and submit your application under "Subscriptions". If you’re eligible, but not selected, we’ll add you to our waitlist.

1. Navigate to the main menu
2. Select Creator Studio
3. Select Subscriptions
4. Complete the required steps to enroll

If you meet the minimum requirements, and you’re approved to have a Subscriptions offering, you will get notified on the platform and you’ll see your status change in Creator Studio under "Subscriptions". 

To check if the status of your application changes, navigate to the main menu, select Creator Studio, then select Subscriptions.

Ultimately, the content you create is up to you. Here are some types of content you might offer Subscribers in posts made just for them:

• Share unscripted thoughts.
• Ask for ideas and opinions with extra posts.
• Give personal replies only your Subscribers can see.

Non-Subscribers will see previews of your posts on your profile feed and on the  Home Timeline. In order to unlock the full content, they will have to subscribe to you. Your subscribers can quote or repost your Subscriptions posts, but when they do, non-Subscribers only see a preview of the post. Non-subscribers will need to subscribe to you in order to see your Subscription posts.

Subscriptions are available for purchase globally on iOS and Android, and web.

Simply navigate to Creator Studio, then Subscriptions, scroll down and click on “Deactivate subscriptions”. Please note that by deactivating your subscriptions you will lose all your active subscribers and in order to re-enroll in the future, you will need to meet our eligibility criteria again.

Deactivating your Subscriptions account will notify your Subscribers and remove the Subscriptions button from your profile.

Once you deactivate your Subscriptions offering, you will have to meet the eligibility criteria and set up your Subscriptions again.

A creator sets the monthly price of their Subscription offering by choosing from one of the price points made available by X.

*Note: The price point you choose during setup establishes the price X charges for your Subscription offering.

You can update your Subscription price anytime in Creator Studio. Just go to Subscriptions, click on the settings gear icon on the upper right corner, and update your price.

Most requests are reviewed and approved within 1-2 business days.

Creators are eligible to earn up to ~97% of the gross revenue earned from Subscriptions. X does not take a revenue share. Any deductions are third-party payment processing or app store fees, as well as cancellations or refunds.

We process payments via Stripe. Please set up your Stripe account within Creator Studio to receive payouts.

Stripe determines payout eligibility and methods based on a creator’s location.

No revenue share payments will be paid to you unless we have first recorded and attributed to your content an amount to meet the minimum payment amount of $50. If you don't meet the $50 threshold, the unpaid amount simply rolls over into the next month until the threshold has been met or exceeded.

Please note that estimated revenue share earnings are adjusted when chargebacks are successfully processed. The earnings amount is also adjusted if Apple or Google issues a refund for a Subscription.

When we make a revenue share payment to you, we will make such payment to you through the Payment Processor approximately 60 days following the end of the month in which we received the revenue for the Subscription. Typically payments are made within the first two weeks of the month. For example, payments for revenue in March will typically occur within the first two weeks of May.

Your payout request may not be processed if there is an information mismatch in your account with our payout provider. You may need to re-add your bank account details (or debit card) to your payout provider.

All purchases of Subscriptions are final and non-refundable, unless required by law. That includes Subscriptions linked to X accounts that have been suspended, or that you’ve lost access to for any other reason. Subscribers may Unsubscribe for any reason, at any time, and must do so to ensure that they're no longer billed for the Subscription.

When a purchase of a subscription from X is subject to a chargeback, we’ll deduct the amount of the chargeback from the creator’s total estimated revenue share earnings. X reserves the right to charge creators for fees X owes associated with chargebacks, but may choose not to do so. X may also recoup from you any fees associated with any chargebacks.

Typically, it takes 3-5 business days for funds to appear in your bank account. In some cases, it can take up to 10 business days.

Yes. People in the US will receive an IRS Form 1099 if they've earned more than $600 USD in the previous tax year. A copy of your 1099 form will be sent to you.
