Plans rolling out gradually; Meta claims more than 50 features launched and 15 million subscriptions and trials to-date. Core experience across apps and Meta AI stays free. Platforms: Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Meta AI; expand to Edits, AI glasses over time. Single product: Instagram Plus $3.99/mo, WhatsApp Plus $2.99/mo, Facebook Plus $3.99/mo. Individual bundles: Core $7.99/mo, Premium $19.99/mo — more Meta AI media generation (images/videos powered by Muse models), Restyle, voice effects. Creator/business: Essential from $14.99/mo (more Meta Business Agent access, verified badge, etc.), Advanced from $49.99, Expert from $149, Max from $499. Plans available globally; pricing/availability may vary by region/app/account. FLAG: 15M = Meta claim; Muse models = media-gen packaging — do not re-ship Muse personal-agent story.

WHY IT MATTERS

Meta is packaging paid tiers for heavier Meta AI media generation and creator/business tooling while keeping core apps and Meta AI free. Track as subscription packaging + Muse-powered media quotas — not a new Muse personal-agent launch. Attribute the 15M figure as a Meta claim.
