Twitter suspended Twitter Blue signups a month ago while it worked out a new system for verification badges following problems over impersonation accounts.
Esther Crawford, Twitter’s director of product management, tweeted on Sunday that Twitter Blue will cost $8 a month for anyone who subscribes via the web, and $11 for signups made via iOS. The differing fees appear to be Twitter’s way of dealing with Apple taking a 30% cut of in-app purchases made via iOS, a practice opposed by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk. Android users can sign up via the web and use Twitter Blue on their mobile devices.
Notably, the $8 fee is described as a “limited time offer,” with no details offered about when the offer will end, or how the pricing will change.
