Twitter is raising the price of Twitter Blue from $2.99 to $4.99 a month. Below is the email I received from Twitter about this increase.

Heads up: we’re increasing the price of Twitter Blue

Hi Michael Cavacini

You’re an important member of the Twitter Blue community, so we wanted you to be among the first to know that the price of Twitter Blue has increased for new subscribers. However, as an early adopter of Twitter Blue, your monthly price will remain the same until October.

You’ll be notified at least 30 days before the new price goes into effect, then your monthly subscription will renew at 4.99 USD / 6.49 CAD / 6.99 AUD / 6.99 NZD, depending on your billing currency.

This change helps us continue to build some of the new features you’ve been asking for, improve upon the current ones you already love, and sustain our mission of supporting journalism. We have lots of exciting things coming up, including creating a more frictionless reading experience and launching new features in Twitter Blue Labs. Keep your eyes peeled for more!

Thanks for being part of the Twitter Blue community.
