   I've seen this $42k/month number for the lowest level of real Twitter API access mentioned a number of times. Image could be made up but seems credible.

     More leaked prices for the other enterprise plans.

     We never had any kind of analytics to get a better # but my gut says a Twitter client would probably download 100k-250k Tweets/month per account per device. So if we get about 200 people willing to pay $400-500/month we could come back!

     If I'm reading between the lines correctly, they are merging the Enterprise + Public APIs into a single product. The old Public API calls will all get put under a Tweet cap (50M Tweets for this small plan). The Tweet cap counts each Tweet returned by the API call.

     50M seems like a big number, but as a point of reference before Tweetbot 6 came out, I implemented a single capped API call and sent it out to ~100 beta testers. They blew through the 500K cap we had in about 2 days.
