In December last year, Twitter relaunched its Blue subscription service with verification, costing $8 for Android users and $11 for iPhone owners per month.
Twitter latest update: From paid subscriptions, to massive layoffs to lawsuits and introducing new features, the Twitter saga is nothing short than a rollercoaster ride. In one of the recent developments the microblogging site has told businesses to pay $1,000 per month for retaining gold badges. Anyone with the gold check mark who do not pay will eventually loose the badge.

Last year there was a lot of chaos about the newly rolled out blue tick subscription. Following it new colour-coded badges were also introduced for all the tweepals.
The Elon Musk-run company is constantly working towards monetising its platform via various means. According to a report by the Verge, it will also charge an extra $50 per month to add badges to each account affiliated with the brand.
A screenshot posted by social media consultant Matt Navarra also suggested that Twitter is going to charge a massive $1,000 per month. “Twitter is reportedly emailing businesses offering gold check mark verification for $1000 PER MONTH! And affiliate account verification for $50 each per month,” tweeted Navarra.
