GoKawiilMeta on Tuesday introduced a new subscription service called Meta One, offering expanded AI usage and other premium features across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The new plans let users access a number of AI tools, like those for creating and editing images and generating videos, as well as in-app tools like the AI-powered Restyle editing tool on Instagram.
The plans are meant to help Meta monetize its Muse AI models, following the tech giant’s 2025 $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, which brought the startup’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, to the company to lead its AI efforts.
It also comes in the wake of Meta’s more recent addition of subscription tiers to its top social apps in March, which allow consumers to access extra features like profile customizations, super reactions, story insights, and more, for just a few dollars per month.

Those plans, which include Instagram Plus ($3.99/mo), Facebook Plus ($3.99/mo), and WhatsApp Plus ($2.99/mo), are already paying off for Meta, new data shows. Market intelligence provider Appfigures shows that Instagram’s daily worldwide revenue now averages $1.2 million as of the week of September 9, while Facebook’s daily revenue now reaches $528,000. These numbers represent increases of 475% and 143%, respectively, from the week prior, the firm said.

Meta is now broadening its ambitions with a new set of subscription plans, including those aimed at AI power users and others for businesses and creators.
In the first set, there are the $7.99/month Core and $19.99/month Premium plans, both of which include the Facebook Plus, Instagram Plus, and WhatsApp Plus features. The primary selling point of these plans is expanded AI usage, with Premium offering more usage than Core, as its pricing indicates.
Reached for comment, Meta declined to share the exact usage limits for the two plans, as they could vary by “country, surface and system conditions.”
The plans let subscribers use tools like Muse Image and Muse Video to generate pictures and videos, edit Instagram Stories with the AI-powered Restyle feature, and use voice effects and creative tools more often.
