In case you’re nonetheless utilizing TweetDeck, you’re really not, with the platform now renamed XPro as a part of the broader rebrand on the app.
The content material administration device, which is about to develop into an XBlue exclusive, just lately bought an improve, with the X crew including numerous parts of the TweetDeck Preview, which was initially previewed in July 2021, into the principle app.
These upgrades embody:

However together with these bulletins got here the information that XPro would develop into an XBlue unique in 30 days, which signifies that from this week, XPro might be a paid-only operate, although the corporate can be planning so as to add in new parts that can make it a extra worthwhile funding for enterprise customers and creators.
Which may very well be a viable pathway to driving extra subscription income for the app.
As I’ve noted previously, there’s a variety of third-party X/Twitter administration instruments that supply higher performance than XPro and the out there analytics choices throughout the app. Or perhaps I ought to say ‘there was’, as a few of them have been compelled to shutter attributable to X’s higher API price tiers.
However there’s a heap of performance that X might add. Profile information comparisons, submit sentiment evaluation, profile bio insights, lively occasions. There’s a variety of instruments that already provide you with entry to this, and if X might incorporate the identical features natively, and with information direct from its servers, utilizing the total firehose of X posts, that might nicely be definitely worth the cash to spend money on XPro entry for a lot of customers.
It stays to be seen what the approaching additions for the platform might be, however there’s alternative right here, which might give X’s subscription initiatives a giant push.
