A little over a month after it launched for iOS and the web, Twitter Blue can now be purchased on Android devices for $11 per month through an in-app purchase.

As Engadget reports, the option just appeared for Android users and the Twitter Blue pricing table has been updated to include Android for all supported countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.)

The price matches that paid by iOS users, but regardless of which mobile operating system you use, there's no need to pay $11 per month. Logging into your Twitter account via a web browser allows you to sign up for the same service, but only pay $8 per month. Twitter is simply passing on the 30% app store tax to any users who insists on signing up through the app stores.

In return for your $132 (or $96) per year, your Twitter account will get the blue checkmark as well as a range of subscriber-only features including bookmark folders, custom app icons, custom navigation, themes, top articles, prioritized rankings in conversations, longer video uploads, the ability to undo tweets, and access to Reader, which turns long threads "into a more beautiful reading experience."
