Kirari — Scheduling a Story for the exact moment you want is the scene I can picture using—set the timing, then stop hovering over the post button.
AIKO — The free core stays put while payment buys extra tools and usage. Clear boundary; the number of tiers is the part that may need a flowchart.
Meta One is a new optional subscription family across Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Meta AI. It adds specialized features and higher creative and AI usage limits, but Meta says the core apps and everyday Meta AI will remain free.
A menu of app plans and bundles
People can subscribe to Instagram Plus, Facebook Plus or WhatsApp Plus separately, or choose the Core and Premium bundles. Both bundles include the single-app benefits, while offering progressively more Meta AI image and video generation and greater use of in-app AI tools such as Instagram Restyle.
Instagram Plus includes custom fonts for DMs and Stories, selected Story-view notifications and DM previews. Facebook Plus adds Messenger customization, more Reels insights and expanded super reactions, while WhatsApp Plus offers themes, icons, special-effect stickers and more pinned chats. Backup storage and Focus Schedules are described as future tests.
Creator tools move beyond cosmetic extras
Creator and business plans can add an enhanced profile, a more prominent follow button on Reels, automatic follow invitations for people who engage with content and more access to Meta Business Agent.
The Advanced tier includes Story scheduling up to 30 days ahead, links in organic posts and Reels, exportable analytics, deeper audience insights and team account access without sharing a password.
The U.S. price ladder and rollout caveats
U.S. list prices are $2.99 per month for WhatsApp Plus and $3.99 each for Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus. Core costs $7.99 per month and Premium $19.99. Creator and business bundles begin at $14.99 for Essential and $49.99 for Advanced, while Expert starts at $149 and Max at $499 per month.
Meta describes the plans as globally available through a gradual rollout. Pricing, benefits and availability can differ by region, app and account, so the subscription screen inside each account will show the applicable local offer.
