TweetDeck Pricing 2026: X Pro Now Costs $40 a Month
Quick answer: TweetDeck, now called X Pro, costs $40 a month or $395 a year. It moved to X's Premium+ tier on 26 March 2026. The $8 Premium plan used to include it and no longer does, and there is no free version.
Most pages still quoting $8 were written before that change. For a complete analysis of the features, see our TweetDeck review 2026.

What Changed on 26 March 2026
X Pro was a benefit of the standard X Premium plan at $8 a month. On 26 March 2026 X moved it into Premium+, the $40 tier, and did it mid billing cycle without announcing it. Subscribers who had already paid for Premium lost the dashboard with no notice. X's stated position, reported at the time, was that features included in Premium are subject to change at any time.
That is the single fact that matters for budgeting: the price of TweetDeck went from $8 to $40 in one step, and nothing about the product changed to justify it. It is also the second reprice in three years, after the 2023 move from free to $8, which is worth weighing before you build a workflow on it.
TweetDeck Pricing Table 2026
The only plan that gets you TweetDeck is Premium+. On annual billing that is $395 instead of $480, so paying yearly saves about 18%. The cheaper tiers are listed because most people arriving at this page are on one of them and are wondering why the dashboard stopped loading.

TweetDeck Pricing History
Why did TweetDeck become paid? After Elon Musk acquired Twitter (now X), the company moved TweetDeck behind the X Premium paywall in August 2023. The March 2026 move went further and put it behind the top tier, which is a five-fold increase for the same dashboard in under three years.
Annual Cost Breakdown
Verdict: Annual billing saves about 18%, but locks you in for a year on a product whose price has moved twice since 2023.

TweetDeck vs Competitors
Annual Cost Comparison
Key insight: TweetDeck is no longer the cheap single-purpose option. At $395 a year it costs more than SocialRails at $290 and more than five Buffer channels, and it still only covers X. The one thing it has that they do not is the live multi-column view.
Is X Pro Worth $40 a Month?
Worth it if you:
- Focus exclusively on X/Twitter
- Already want Premium+ for its own sake (edit posts, longer posts, fewer ads)
- Manage multiple X accounts
- Need real-time X monitoring, which nothing cheap replicates
- Use X for customer service
Not worth it if you:
- Need multi-platform scheduling
- Want AI content assistance
- Need team collaboration
- Only use X casually
- Don't care about the rest of Premium+, in which case you are paying $40 for columns
For someone managing Instagram, Facebook, AND X/Twitter, is TweetDeck enough?

What TweetDeck Lacks
Best Alternatives
SocialRails, Best Value
Verdict: Since March 2026 this comparison runs the other way. SocialRails is $11 a month less than X Pro and covers eight more networks. What it does not do is the live column monitoring, so if that is the job, X Pro is still the product that does it.
Buffer, Simple Multi-Platform
Typefully, X-Focused Writing

Quick Answers
Is TweetDeck free? No. It stopped being free in August 2023, cost $8/month on X Premium until 26 March 2026, and now needs Premium+ at $40/month or $395/year.
Why did I lose access to TweetDeck? Most likely you are on the $8 Premium plan. X moved X Pro to Premium+ on 26 March 2026 mid billing cycle, without notice, so Premium subscribers lost it overnight.
Can I use TweetDeck without X Premium+? No. Premium+ is the only tier that includes it. Basic at $3 and Premium at $8 do not.
Is TweetDeck the same as X Pro? Yes. TweetDeck was rebranded to X Pro when Twitter became X.
Does TweetDeck work with Instagram? No. TweetDeck only works with X/Twitter. For Instagram, use Later or SocialRails.
Is $40/month worth it for TweetDeck alone? Only if the live column view is genuinely the job, and you would not otherwise want Premium+. At that price a multi-platform scheduler costs less and does more, and Hootsuite's stream view is the only comparable monitoring layout, at $99/month per seat.
