It was announced earlier this year that the TweetDeck will see a rebrand to X Pro, and alongside this, a change to its access, as now, it would be under the Blue subscription service. Many people were deeply surprised by the massive change for X Pro, especially as it saw difficulties in the past month which required it to be temporarily inaccessible at first.
Before and after it was acquired by Twitter in 2011, the service was renowned by managers and influencers for its help in better content management, all while remaining to be a free service.

Users may no longer access X Pro while on a free account, and despite going to tweetdeck.twitter.com, they will be redirected to a new website page if they are not yet subscribed to the Blue subscription service.
This is what the experience will lead users to now, and it was only more than a month since X announced this latest change for everyone, doing so in early July.
Despite this addition to the Blue subscription, 9to5 Google noted that it is not yet part of the service's list of features that come alongside the paid premium access.
It is worth noting that it took longer than 30 days since Musk announced this change for the TweetDeck.

TweetDeck No More, X Pro is a Paid Service
The public may have thought that the TweetDeck would not be part of the X fiasco, but they were gravely mistaken as it was under X's ownership, and its owner has the liberty to do what he wants.
Still, TweetDeck, err, the X Pro, adds no special additional fees to the current Blue subscription, bidding farewell to its more than a decade run as a free service that the public enjoyed.
Twitter and its TweetDeck
As a standalone app from 2008, TweetDeck saw many changes and upgrades on Twitter, from its massive operations throughout the years, also facing the pandemic. It is known for using Twitter's API when it first started, also after it was acquired by the company, with the social media platform undertaking design overhaul changes for the app.
However, the most significant change on TweetDeck was the recent announcement of Elon Musk about the service now joining the Blue subscription as a paid service from the company, last July.
It was also during this time that it had a significant overhaul after falling victim to Twitter's rate limits which also caused the app to malfunction.
Now that TweetDeck was reborn as X Pro, it fully joins the Elon Musk-era for the X platform, where most of the services are put under the Blue subscription service that asks for a monthly fee. X Pro is seeing traction nowadays after its recent rework, but gone are its days of being a free service, also bidding farewell to the iconic TweetDeck branding.
