Meta Prices Its 'Free' Apps: Subscriptions Now Run To $499 A Month
Meta says 15 million users already hold a Meta One subscription or trial, months before today's global rollout.
- Individual plans start at $7.99 for Core and $19.99 for Premium across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
- Business and creator tiers run $14.99 to $499 monthly, adding AI tools like Muse image generation.
- Meta says the 'core experience' across its apps and Meta AI will stay free for everyone.
Why it matters: Meta One doesn't sell a new tool: it prices, tier by tier, the dependence the company spent two decades building for free.
