here is how much the certification costs and it is not cheap

As Threads continues to gain traction against Twitter, Meta just hit another milestone. Like its main competitor, the social network is in turn launching its paid certification. And like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg was not shy about the price.

Threads is the new fashionable social network signed Meta or rather Mark Zuckerberg. With this new entity, the creator of Facebook has hit hard. This hybrid formula, between Instagram and Twitter, has already attracted nearly 100 million users… In just 4 days.

In 96 hours, Threads has become the number 1 target to shoot at Twitter. Proof of this is with these threats of legal action made by Elon Musk and his lawyer. According to the billionaire and his representative, Threads is just a plagiarism of Twitter, a carbon copy, developed with the support of former employees of the blue bird.

Copy or not, the arrival of this new feature is likely to displease Elon Musk… And to comfort him in the idea that Meta takes over the operation of Twitter in broad outline. Because, the social networking giant has just announced the launch of its own paid subscription.

Meta launches its paid subscription like Twitter

Just like Twitter Blue, this formula will allow get a Verified badge for its Threads, Instagram and Meta accounts, but also anti-phishing protection and the possibility of quick access to assistance in the event of a problem. Like Twitter, followers who want to get the Verified badge will be able to do so by providing government-issued identification, such as ID, driver’s license, or passport.

Here’s exactly what this Meta Verified subscription has in store:

• the verified badge
• aincreased and strengthened protection against identity theft through proactive account monitoring
• real-time technical support to resolve any problems with your account
• access to exclusive features like unique stickers on Facebook, Instagram Stories and Facebook Reels

For now, this new formula is only available in a few countries. In Spain for example, the bill is set at €13.99 per month for the web version and €16.99 per month on Android and iOS. If Meta hasn’t made an official announcement for France yet, it won’t be long. Indeed, some users have already received a notification to activate their subscription.
