TweetDeck i.e. Xpro will not be able to be used for free, will get benefits like Long Post and Ad Revenue Sharing

X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, now appears to be following through on its promise to make TweetDeck a paid service. Several users on X, including social media consultant Matt Navara, say that when they try to load TweetDeck, they are seeing a sale page for X Premium.

It is now known as Xpro. In a media report, some people have not yet reached the block, while others are saying that they cannot access Xpro until they pay. We're guessing it's only a matter of time.

X announced on July 3 that it would make XPro a customers-only feature. It was said at the time that the change would happen in '30 days', so the company slightly missed its deadline.

Under owner Elon Musk, X has tried to make X Premium a more attractive subscription, with features such as longer posts, formatting, ad revenue sharing, and higher rankings in conversation and search. Now, the company is hoping that access to the XPro is worth paying for.

TweetDeck was one of the most popular third-party apps for accessing Twitter until it was acquired by the company in 2011. Its ability to support multiple accounts and multiple custom feeds made it a powerful tool for journalists, marketers, and others who regularly use Twitter for themselves.

However, in such a situation, charging for TweetDeck and putting Pro in the name makes some sense. But it still sucks to pay for a useful tool that was previously free.
