How to sign up for Twitter Blue
To register for the service, all you have to do is log in to the platform with your credentials and select the ‘Twitter Blue’ option that you will find in the sidebar, either in browser or on mobile devices. You may not see this option yet, so you simply have to wait until Twitter ends up enabling it for everyone.
When you click on the option, the platform will warn you about all the news available to Twitter Blue users and those that will arrive soon, such as the possibility of seeing fewer ads or the priority of verified accounts.
How much does Twitter Blue cost?
Before clicking on the button to subscribe, you will have to choose a plan. If you do it from the web, Twitter Blue will have a price of 7 euros per month with an annual plan, which leaves us to pay instantly about 84 euros plus VAT (101.64 euros in total each year). On the other hand, if we choose the option to pay monthly, it will cost us 8 euros per month.
Now, if we subscribe from an Android phone, the price of the subscription amounts to 11 euros per month. Here the platform even assures us that it is “a limited time offer”.
Apparently, iOS users in Spain still do not have access to the subscription, so they will have to wait until it is available. It is very possible that in this operating system the subscription will be somewhat more expensive, something that already happened in the regions where Twitter Blue was available.
