On August 16, TweetDeck—now referred to as the new X Pro—became a paid service that was only accessible to Blue customers through a monthly or yearly subscription fee.
After logging in, users are now prompted to purchase an X Pro subscription.
When it first came out, TweetDeck was praised for supporting customized feeds and performing effectively for a wide range of users. Unfortunately, news organizations, journalists, corporations, and social media managers will now have to pay to access the site.
The parent company, X, formerly known as Twitter, indicated that user verification is necessary for access to TweetDeck in a recent update on July 3.
Whether X will charge customers for X Pro was unclear when it stated that an improved version of TweetDeck with new features would go into effect in 30 days.
As promised, TweetDeck is now a paid service thanks to X.
The annual and monthly subscription costs for the Blue subscription are detailed in the popup window.
The X Pro Blue subscription has a monthly fee of Rs 650 and a yearly cost of Rs 7,800. Users can now get the X Pro annual membership at a reduced price of Rs 6,800.
The social networking site claims that the upgraded features of X Pro, including its prioritised rankings in chats and search, longer post lengths, longer video posts, and HD video uploads, have improved user experience. According to the statement, X Pro will retain all of the current Blue features, including Edit Tweet and Bookmark Folders.
The Elon Musk-owned social media business launched a new version of Twitter, now called X, Blue, on February 9 in India. This subscription gives users a verified checkmark and a variety of extra capabilities, such as the ability to edit tweets.
Currently, the service costs Rs 650 per month for use on the web and Rs 900 per month for use on mobile devices. Twitter additionally provides a discounted annual plan for Rs 6,800, or Rs 566.67, every year.
Musk confronts a formidable hurdle in trying to revive the indebted company by boosting its revenue.
In an effort to increase signups for its subscription service Twitter Blue, Elon Musk said on July 22 of this year that Twitter would impose daily limits on the number of direct messages (DM) that unverified accounts can send on the network.
Earlier than this, Elon Musk, the owner of X, recently set a “temporary” cap on the number of tweets users could read each day. Additionally, the business first reversed its decision to prevent users from viewing tweets or comments on the web unless they were logged in to an account.
