SocialData
The cleanest pricing model in the set: one rate, $0.0002 per item returned, applied to almost every endpoint, with failed requests free and a prepaid balance that never expires and is refundable for 14 days if untouched. The catch is that per-item billing means a dense search page costs 20x a thin one, it is read-only with no write actions, and it publishes no page sizes, no SLA and no signup credit, so you cannot forecast a call's cost before you make it.

List prices, dollars per 1,000 tweets at the cheapest published route to each volume. How this is worked out
Every published plan
| Plan | Price | Included results | Overage each | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay as you go | $0 per month | 0 | $0.0002 | There are no plans. You keep a positive prepaid balance or the request is rejected with HTTP 402. High volume is "contact support and we will quote a custom rate", with no printed figure. |
A single printed USD rate covers almost everything: "$0.0002 per tweet or user profile returned (or $0.2 per 1000 items)". The per-endpoint table charges $0.0002 per tweet retrieved (search), per follower, per followed user, per mention, per comment, per quote-tweet, per list member and per community member; single-object endpoints (Get User Profile, Get Tweet, Get Article Details, Get List Details, Get Community Details, Get Space Details) are $0.0002 per request, which is why profile and tweet are recorded as per request here. Two exceptions cost more: Get User Extended Bio at $0.001 per request, and the Social Actions checks at $0.004 (Verify User Following) and $0.008 (Verify User Retweeted, Verify User Commented) per request. No page size is printed anywhere in the docs. The $0.0002 minimum recorded on every vertical is the fair-use charge: beyond 3 free requests per minute, an empty request "will be treated as a billable request and incur a fixed charge of $0.0002 per request"; within that allowance an empty request is free, and "failed requests do not consume any balance".
