How much does Twitter Blue cost?
Twitter Blue costs $8 per month for the web-based users, and $11 per month for Android and iOS-based users. In India, the service costs Rs 650 per month or Rs 6,800 annually on the web. Similarly, the monthly Twitter Blue plan for Android and iOS users costs Rs 900, while the annual plan costs Rs 9,400.
Legacy blue ticks are retiring
It is worth noting that the development comes at the time when Twitter has also announced that it is sunsetting its legacy blue ticks on its platform starting April 1, 2023. This means that all Twitter users who had got the blue tick as part of the older regime will have to relinquish the title on April 1, 2023, unless they opt for Twitter Blue subscription service.
