Last month, Twitter rolled out an $8-per-month rate for Twitter Blue that included a verified blue check. This came just before new Twitter Blue subscriptions were suspended after users immediately abused the fake verification and falsely presented themselves as public figures and corporations.
During Twitter Blue’s hiatus, Musk asked Apple to no longer advertise on the platform and even went as far as to challenge Apple’s “secret 30% tax” which he thought was a secret for some reason. Now, in a new report from The informationTwitter is finalizing new pricing for Twitter Blue.
Twitter Blue will cost $7 a month if you sign up via the web. If you sign up via an iPhone using the Twitter app, however, it’ll cost you $11 a month. This higher price will offset Apple’s 30% fee for accepting payments through the Apple platform. There is a history of other subscription-based services trying to get around this fee. The price difference is likely to encourage customers to register via the web.
In the aftermath of Musk’s initial dispute over the 30% app fee, Twitter CEO Elon and Apple CEO Tim Cook met at Apple Park and concluded there was a “misunderstanding” over Twitter’s alleged retirement from the App Store.
Twitter Blue is expected to relaunch on Friday.
