Twitter might start charging for TweetDeck, researcher discovers designed sign-up page

Twitter might be planning to charge for TweetDeck, making it a paid feature. Up until now, users have been able to use the social media dashboard for managing their Twitter accounts. According to security researcher Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter is working on a new sign-up page for TweetDeck. The researcher has shared the Twitter sign up page that could be used for the service in future. 

TweetDeck can be used on Google Chrome

TweetDeck can be used on browsers such as Google Chrome. The security researcher says in a Tweet that TweetDeck might become a paid feature that will be exclusively available to Twitter Blue subscribers according to the code she has discovered. The code discovers whether a user has a subscription to Twitter Blue and if not, it redirects them to the sign-up page. For those catching up, Twitter Blue costs $ 2.99 a month. This service is not available in India yet. 

Twitter Blue is only available to users in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. It is worth mentioning that in the past, there have been rumours about Twitter developing a paid version of TweetDeck. However, the platform itself has not confirmed anything yet. Once the service becomes paid, Twitter might expand and release TweetDeck for more regions around the world.
