Rumors have been running about a paid version of Twitter for months (maybe years), and it seems like it's about to come true. The developer Jane Manchun , famous for advancing news from various social networks, leaked details, price and functions of ' Twitter Blue ', the supposed name of the new service.
As revealed by Manchun on the 9to5Mac portal, subscriptions will cost $ 2.99 per month (about 60 Mexican pesos). However, the cost may vary depending on the region.
Twitter is calling their upcoming Subscription Service “Twitter Blue”, priced at $ 2.99 / month for now, including paid features like:

Of course, the premium version of Twitter will have exclusive features to enhance the user experience.

But I'm sure the feature set will grow as time goes
The bad news is that even in the paid version there is no glimpse of the function of 'editing' the content already published, something that the tweeting community has begged for years.
The developer, whose credibility is based on having successfully leaked many news from Facebook , Instagram and Twitter , notes that Twitter Blue is still in development, so there is no probable launch date.
In 2020, the social network run by Jack Dorsey acknowledged that they planned to explore the subscription system and a premium membership in the near future.
On May 6, Twitter announced the launch of the 'Tip Jar' , a function that allows you to give and receive 'tips' within the platform. This way of monetizing content is in addition to the 'Super Follows' , which gives tweeters the option to charge for exclusive content .
