It is pertinent to mention that Twitter Blue Subscription currently costs $8 if you’re paying through their website, while iOS users are charged $11 to account for the 30% commission apples takes for transaction occurring through the App Store.
In return, these users receive several perks, including a blue check, the option to edit tweets, and bookmark folders. Twitter Blue also gives the ability to upload longer videos and prominent placement in reply threads when users respond to someone.
Meanwhile, Twitter Blue is charging businesses $1,000 per month to have a gold checkmark, while verification for affiliated accounts costs $50 per month. The Gold Checkmark was released after fake accounts popped up on Twitter with their Twitter Blue Subscription and pretended to be the original business entity or person.
