X announced in July that TweetDeck, a popular program that allows users to monitor multiple accounts and lists of users at once, would be available only to "verified" account holders from August.
The new version of TweetDeck, X Pro, is now asking for user subscription. 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.
X owner Elon Musk has rolled out a Pro version of X that simultaneously puts a paywall in front of a very popular feature on the social media platform.
These alternatives, though not exact replicas of TweetDeck, offer free access for a very limited period of time, usually between 14 and 30 days through their trial editions
