Is it right for Elon Musk to charge $8 per month from verified Twitter users?

Main topic: Tech

Other topics: Elon Musk, Twitter

Short answer:

• For businesses, $8 per month is likely the cheapest SaaS software they will pay.
• For individuals, the price may be high or low depending on personal circumstances. But the free option will still be available, so most users should be satisfied.

Twitter

Affordable for businesses

Most business software cost around $8 per month per user, rather than in total.

Some business software cost a thousand times that value. Datadog, for example, has over 2,600 customers paying them over $100,000 a year.

In contrast, $8 per month, for software as important as Twitter, can be seen as cheap.

Uncertain for individuals

For individuals, $8 per month will be seen as expensive or cheap depending on their personal financial circumstances and how much they value Twitter Blue's premium features, which are still to be defined.
