TL;DR
  • Meta is rolling out global Meta One subscriptions that bundle AI access with social media perks across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Meta’s new Meta One subscriptions are available globally starting today, pairing standalone app subscriptions with extra AI usage across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company describes the core experience on its apps and Meta AI as remaining free, while the bundles introduce paid tiers that combine social media perks with AI features.

Individual users have two tiers: Core at $7.99 per month and Premium at $19.99 per month. Both include Instagram Plus, WhatsApp Plus, and Facebook Plus, along with additional AI access such as generating images with the Muse assistant or using in-app AI features like Instagram’s Restyle tool. Meta states these bundles are a few dollars cheaper than paying for all three standalone subscriptions separately, which would cost $11 per month.

Creator and business tiers range from $14.99 to $499 per month. The Essential tier at $14.99 per month includes a verified badge, a verified WhatsApp Business channel, impersonation protection, and access to Meta Business Agent on WhatsApp for 24/7 customer responses. The Advanced tier at $49.99 per month adds scheduling tools for stories up to 30 days in advance, links in organic posts and reels, exportable analytics, and team access without password sharing.

Meta also offers Expert at $149 per month and Max at $499 per month, which provide higher levels of feature access and Meta Business Agent capacity for teams managing at scale. The company says it plans to expand the bundles over time to include features like Edits and AI glasses.
