Comparison

Xholic vs X Pro

X Pro, formerly TweetDeck, is X's own multi-column dashboard for watching searches, lists and accounts in real time, and since March 2026 it comes only with Premium+ at $40 a month. Xholic is a growth workflow: it drafts posts and replies in your voice, finds conversations and leads, and tracks how you and other accounts perform. One is built for monitoring, the other for posting and replying.

The short answer

Pick Xholic if you want help writing posts and replies, finding leads and reading analytics. Pick X Pro if you live in real-time columns and want the rest of Premium+ from X itself.

Choose Xholic if

  • You want posts and replies drafted in your voice, with a reply wand in every X reply box.
  • You want lead-finding Signal agents, Auto DMs and automation rules, none of which X Pro offers.
  • You want analytics and estimated earnings for any profile you open, not only your own.

Choose X Pro (TweetDeck) if

  • You need the best real-time monitoring of searches, lists and accounts in side-by-side columns.
  • You want a first-party tool with no third-party app access to your X account.
  • You already pay for Premium+ and value its other perks, such as an ad-free X and the largest reply boost.

The details

Where they really differ

Monitoring dashboard versus growth workflow

X Pro shows many columns at once: searches, lists and accounts. It is built for watching X as it happens, which is why newsrooms and power users rely on it.

Xholic is built around what you do next. Workers draft posts in your voice, Engage feeds surface posts worth replying to, the reply wand drafts replies inside X, and Signal agents find people likely to become customers. It helps you decide what to post and who to talk to, rather than showing more of the timeline.

Where X Pro wins: real-time columns

For live monitoring, X Pro is the better tool. Its columns update in real time, it runs on X itself, and you don't grant any third-party app access to your account.

Xholic has saved feeds built from keywords, a saved search, a contact list or an X list, and timelines of recent original posts, but these are for finding posts to reply to, not for a live wall of columns. The extension's Mentions tab refreshes at most every 15 minutes. If you need to see every post the second it lands, use X Pro.

Writing and replies

X Pro includes X's full post composer, but no AI writing, reply help or post library. You write everything yourself.

Xholic learns from your real posts and replies, your style guide and the edits you make to its drafts. Workers draft batches of posts on demand or on a schedule for you to review. The reply wand sits in every X reply box: add a thought, pick a tone, and the draft lands in X's editor. You press Reply, Xholic never posts replies for you.

Analytics for your account and others

Analytics aren't part of X Pro itself. Xholic's web app tracks your posts over time, imports your X history and shows a daily streak heatmap.

In the Chrome extension, Xholic also shows how any profile you open performs: followers, impressions, likes, reposts, replies and bookmarks over time, best posting times by hour and day, and estimated creator earnings. You can look up 40 other profiles a day.

Scheduling, automation and leads

X hasn't stated whether the new X Pro schedules posts, so check X's help pages if scheduling is what you need from it. X Pro has no automation rules, Auto DMs or lead finding.

Xholic's queue publishes at exact times or into recurring slots, with text, image and video posts. Max and Ultra add automation rules: auto repost, auto plug and auto delete. Signal agents find leads and Auto DMs are on every plan.

Price: Premium+ versus a growth plan

X Pro requires Premium+, which is $40 a month or $395 a year in the US. That also gets you an ad-free X, the largest reply boost and other Premium+ perks, though X can change what Premium+ includes at any time.

Xholic's plans are Pro at $29, Max at $29 and Ultra at $149 a month, each with a 3-day trial at $0 today. There is no free plan. The two aren't exclusive: you can keep Premium+ on X and use Xholic for writing, replies and analytics.

Trade-offs

The honest trade-offs

Where X Pro (TweetDeck) is the better choice

  • First-party: no third-party app access to X needed.
  • Real-time monitoring of searches, lists and accounts in side-by-side columns.
  • Comes with the rest of Premium+.

Where Xholic falls short

  • No free plan; the trial is 3 days.
  • Publishes to X only.
  • The public API and MCP server aren't available yet.
  • No team seats or approval queue; sharing is one owner and one teammate at a time.

X Pro (TweetDeck)'s limits

  • Since March 2026 it requires Premium+ at $40 a month.
  • No AI writing, reply help, library, automation or analytics for other accounts.
  • X can change what Premium+ includes at any time.
