xtwitterapiprices What a tweet search actually costs.
Public list prices from every X API that publishes one, normalized to dollars per 1,000 tweets at the volume you actually run. Per-request minimums, credit multipliers and plan floors included, because that is where the real price hides.

SocialCrawl What a headline price leaves out.
Per tweet or per request
Half of this market bills for every item it returns and half bills for the call. The switch above the table prices both, and the ranking never moves.
A minimum on every call
Several sellers charge a floor per request however thin the page comes back, so an empty search still costs money. The floor is applied before anything is ranked.
The official API is priced apart
X bills per resource returned, caps pay-per-use at 3 million post reads a month, and charges nothing for refetching the same post inside 24 hours.
Credits usually expire
Most allowances reset at the end of the cycle and bonus credits die sooner. The table marks who rolls over, who does not, and who never says.
Questions the table answers.
Every figure below is recomputed from the provider records each time the site is built, against prices last checked on 2026-09-08.
What is the cheapest X/Twitter data API at 10,000 tweets a month?
AnyAPI is the cheapest published route, at $0.033 per 1,000 tweets, or $0.325 a month for 10,000. TwitterAPIs is next at $0.040 per 1,000. Both figures are list prices with the credit multiplier and any plan minimum already applied, and 16 providers publish a price at this volume.
What does a tweet API cost at only 1,000 tweets a month?
The cheapest published route is AnyAPI at $0.033 per 1,000, which comes to $0.033 for the month. The dearest of the 16 priced providers is TwttrAPI at $59.00 per 1,000, because its smallest plan is charged in full whether you use it or not. At this volume the plan floor, not the per-request rate, decides what you pay.
Which providers let you start without a monthly plan?
14 of the 25 providers tracked here sell requests with nothing to pay up front: AnyAPI, Apify Tweet Scraper (kaitoeasyapi), Apify Tweet Scraper V2 (apidojo), Apify Twitter User Scraper (apidojo), Apify X Tweet Scraper (xquik), Bright Data X (Twitter) Dataset, Bright Data X (Twitter) Scraper API, GetXAPI, ScrapeBadger, SocialData, TikHub, twitterapi.io, TwitterAPIs and X API. Everyone else asks for a plan or a prepaid pack first, and the smallest of those is $1.00. That entry price is shown on every provider page as the cheapest way in.
Do unused request credits expire?
Usually yes: 14 of the 25 providers reset an unused allowance at the end of every billing cycle, so anything you did not spend is gone. 7 let credits roll over indefinitely and 1 sell prepaid packs with a stated validity window instead. 3 do not publish an answer at all, which the table marks rather than guesses.
How much more does Profile lookup cost than a Tweet search request?
On most price lists, nothing: 6 of the 13 providers that publish a price for both charge exactly the same per 1,000 for a Profile request as for a Tweet search request. The exceptions are twitterapi.io at 1.2 times the Tweet search rate, X API at 2 times the Tweet search rate, AnyAPI at 6.8 times the Tweet search rate, TikHub at 14.0 times the Tweet search rate, GetXAPI at 20 times the Tweet search rate, TwitterAPIs at 20 times the Tweet search rate and twitter241 (RapidAPI) at 25 times the Tweet search rate. The bigger difference is coverage, because only 13 of the 25 providers price Profile at all.
Which X/Twitter data APIs have a free tier?
12 of the 25 providers publish a free allowance. The largest is Bright Data X (Twitter) Scraper API at 5,000 free calls, and 8 of the 12 start without a credit card. A free allowance never counts towards the ranking here, because it is a trial rather than a price.
How many X/Twitter data APIs sell Followers list request, and what does it cost?
14 of the 25 providers publish a Followers list price, against 16 for Tweet search request. The cheapest at 10,000 accounts a month is AnyAPI at $0.0037 per 1,000. 7 of those 14 charge the same per 1,000 for Followers list as for a Tweet search request, so a Followers list shortlist is decided by coverage rather than by price.
