X Pro is the rebuilt TweetDeck: a multi-column dashboard for power users on X, with post and thread scheduling, real-time search columns, and multi-account monitoring. As of 2026 it's locked behind X's $40-a-month Premium+ tier, which is the catch.

- Flat, quota-bundled plans: each tier bundles brands, users, and social profiles, with caps you can grow into (Standard runs 1 user and 15 profiles, up to 2 and 20; Professional 5 users and 25 profiles, up to 10 and 40). Enterprise is custom.
- There's no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
- Annual billing is cheaper than monthly, but the page headlines the monthly rates ($149 and $349) and didn't show a per-month annual figure when checked.
- Several things sit on top as add-ons or separate tools: Brand Monitoring and Social Listening (an add-on on Professional, included on Enterprise), an AI Blog Creation agent (add-on on every plan), and a standalone Local SEO Automation tool at $300 a month.
- eClincher revamped its lineup; the current plans are Standard, Professional, and Enterprise, replacing an older Basic / Premier / Agency structure, so older listings ($65 / $175 / $425) are out of date.
- Prices are USD, read off the live pricing page (rendered twice); aggregator listings lag the revamp.
X Pro
X Premium+
$40 /mo
$33/mo billed annually

- X Pro is bundled with X Premium+ (about $40/mo, $395/yr)
- Column-based decks, multi-account monitoring, post and thread scheduling
- Access to multiple X accounts you control
- X Pro isn't sold on its own. It used to come with the cheaper X Premium plan (around $8/mo), but in March 2026 X moved it behind the top X Premium+ tier, roughly $40 a month (about $395 a year), so the real cost of using X Pro is a Premium+ subscription.
- It only manages X, so the value is entirely about how much you live on that one network.
- X has signalled a replacement product may follow, so the access terms here may change.
