TwitterAPIs Pricing

What you are charged is $0.0008 per call, whatever that call returns. The per-tweet figure is derived from it: a full page of 20 tweets works out to $0.00004 per tweet, or $0.04 per 1,000. Treat 20 as a ceiling rather than a promise, because it is the default page size we request, not a guaranteed yield. Across 396,817 of our own read calls, pages averaged about 13 tweets, and search pages closer to 8, so a realistic delivered cost is nearer $0.06 to $0.11 per 1,000 depending on how dense your queries are. Even at the high end that stays well under twitterapi.io ($0.15/1K, metered per tweet returned) and far under the official X API ($5-$10/1K).

The official X API charges $0.005-$0.010 per resource (1 tweet per request). TwitterAPIs charges $0.0008 per call and returns ~20 tweets. That's $0.04 per 1,000 tweets on TwitterAPIs vs $5-$10 on the official API, 100x cheaper.

Yes. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits at signup, no credit card required. That covers ~625 standard calls (~12,500 tweets) at the $0.0008 rate, or any mix. After that, you pay per call with no subscriptions or monthly fees.

Every new TwitterAPIs account gets $0.50 in free credits with no credit card required. At $0.0008 per call (~20 tweets per call), that covers approximately 625 API calls or ~12,500 tweets, enough to test every endpoint, validate response schemas, and build a working prototype before committing to any spend. Credits never expire.

No, credits are non-refundable once purchased, per our Terms of Service. Because pricing is pay-per-call with no subscription and no minimum spend, you only buy what you plan to use, and the $0.50 free credit at signup lets you test every endpoint before committing to any purchase.

TwitterAPIs costs $0.04 per 1,000 tweets. twitterapi.io costs $0.15 per 1,000 tweets. Both return ~20 tweets per call. TwitterAPIs is 3.75x cheaper.

Mostly yes. Simple write actions, like, unlike, retweet, undo-retweet, bookmark, remove-bookmark, follow, unfollow, delete, and media upload, bill at the same $0.0008 read rate. Tweet creation and sending a DM are premium at $0.0016. In total there are 99 endpoints: 63 reads and 36 writes, with standard calls at $0.0008 and a few premium endpoints (DM operations and tweet creation at $0.0016, full account history at $0.0024, full thread expansion at $0.004).

No. TwitterAPIs is pure pay-per-call. No monthly fees, no subscriptions, no minimum spend. Buy credits starting at $10 (12,500 calls / ~250,000 tweets) and they never expire.

TwitterAPIs at $0.04 per 1,000 tweets is the cheapest pay-as-you-go Twitter API in 2026, about 3.75x cheaper than twitterapi.io ($0.15/1K), 5-8x cheaper than Apify scrapers ($0.25-$0.40/1K), and ~100x cheaper than the official X API standard read rate. Providers that sell monthly plans can price a bundled call below our flat rate, so this is the comparison for buyers who do not want a subscription. For a side-by-side across every provider, see the Twitter API pricing comparison guide.

1 monitored account is free, forever, on every TwitterAPIs account. The free monitor is per account, not per API key, so extra keys do not add extra monitors. Account monitoring (watch an X handle, get an event the moment it posts, delivered as a signed webhook or natively formatted to Slack/Discord) has paid tiers for more accounts, from $15/mo for 6 accounts up to $799/mo for 2,000 (see the Monitoring tab above). Checkout is live and self-serve from the dashboard or this page.
