X Expands Pay-Per-Use API Beta to More Developers
Two years after overhauling its developer programs and pricing, X is opening its doors wider. The platform is expanding the closed beta of its pay-per-use API plan, giving more developers a chance to join.
The company’s developer account announced the move in a post on X. It encouraged interested creators and businesses to submit applications to become part of the growing program.
Focus on Flexibility and Growth
X’s new API model aims to offer more flexibility. Instead of traditional flat-rate subscriptions, developers pay only for what they use. This approach appeals to small startups and independent developers who may not need full enterprise access.
In addition, the update reflects X’s broader effort to rebuild trust within the developer community. After previous API restrictions and pricing changes frustrated many app creators, this plan signals a shift toward inclusivity and innovation.
Encouraging Innovation on the Platform
Developers participating in the beta can integrate X’s data and features into their own tools or services. For example, they can build analytics dashboards, automation tools, or engagement trackers.
As a result, X hopes to create a more vibrant ecosystem around its platform. The company said more details about pricing, features, and access levels will roll out soon.
For now, the expansion marks another step in X’s attempt to strengthen its relationship with the developer community — and redefine how APIs can power digital creativity.
