The Growing Subscription Price Of Twitter Blue

People often express their astonishment that Twitter is free, but for some people, it is not - Twitter Blue was launched last year in several countries, attaching some additional features for anyone willing to pay $ 2.99 per month. 

Today the service tells customers that they increased prices (through Matt Navara), and it jumped to $ 4.99 per month in the US. It might not damage the pockets of information addicts who choose to pay for services that still include advertisements in their feeds, but it might be enough to make people ask themselves if it is worth the penny spent.

Add-ons in the Blue Twitter package include Undo tweet window to correct typos, adjusted navigation blades, the top list of articles shared by the people you follow, and advertising free access to articles on sites, the ability to choose from different application icons, and hexagon profile photo.

In an email to users, the Blue Twitter team confirms a higher level "helps us continue to build some features that you have requested, improve what you currently love, and maintain our mission to support journalism."

Twitter Blue subscription prices increased to 6.99 per month in Australia, 6.49 per month in Canada, 6.99 in New Zealand, and $ 4.99 in the US.

In particular, it did not mention Elon Musk, although the company only blamed him for a decline in Q2 revenue compared to the previous year. Musk is now trying to get out of his agreement to acquire Twitter for $ 44 billion, but in happier times, he reportedly floated the idea of ​​unnamed subscription services outside Blue, which according to him, could attract more than 100 million customers one day later.

Higher prices have started to apply to new customers, but for initial adoption, Twitter said they would remain locked at the original price until October and could hope to receive the opportunity to cancel at least 30 days before the new tariff applies.

To keep paying customers on the hook, Twitter Blue's email teases a "more frictionless reading experience" in work, among other features that will be launched on Twitter Blue Labs. 

Twitter seems to have taken the pace of development of features under the Agrawal Parag administration, and with features that have been announced and in testing, users have to wait to see whether it is included as the Twitter blue benefits at the launch.
