The monthly fee for Meta Verified is $11.99 (£9.96) for web users and $14.99 for iPhone users.

This week, it will be accessible in Australia and New Zealand. The change, according to CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg, would increase trustworthiness and security on social networking platforms. The action was taken when Twitter's owner, Elon Musk, launched the premium Twitter Blue membership in November 2022.

Businesses are not yet allowed to use Meta's paid subscription service, but anybody can pay for verification. High-profile accounts have been given badges, often known as "blue ticks," to verify their legitimacy.

According to a post on Meta's website, the subscription would grant paying users a blue badge, more exposure for their postings, protection from impersonators, and simpler access to customer care. According to the firm, the move won't effect accounts that have already been verified, but it will make certain smaller users who utilize the premium function to get certified more visible.

Several social media networks have already run into issues when allowing paying users access to a blue tick.Although Mr. Zuckerberg stated in a post that it would happen "soon," Meta has not yet defined when the capability would be made available to users in other nations.

While many in the IT industry were quick to criticize Elon Musk for adding a paid layer to the social network Twitter, it turns out his peers were keenly watching. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
