TwexAPI is cheaper for one-by-one lookups, about $0.05 vs $1.00 per 1,000 profiles or tweets, because GetXAPI bills $0.001 per call.

Reading tweets and profiles
| Per 1,000 results | TwexAPI | GetXAPI | Official X API |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tweets from search and timelines | ~$0.05 | ~$0.05 (about 20 tweets per $0.001 call) | $5.00 |
| Single tweet lookups | ~$0.05 | $1.00 ($0.001 per call) | $5.00 |
| Single profile lookups | ~$0.05 | $1.00 ($0.001 per call) | $10.00 |
GetXAPI bills per call, so its $0.05 per 1,000 tweets assumes a full page of about 20 tweets; a search page that returns fewer tweets costs more per tweet. TwexAPI bills per tweet or profile returned, at 5 Credits each, and does not bill failed requests.
Posting, DMs and other account actions
| Per action | TwexAPI | GetXAPI |
|---|---|---|
| Post a tweet | $0.0005 | $0.002 |
| Like, retweet or follow | $0.0005 | $0.001 |
| Send a DM | $0.0005 | $0.002 |
| Account login session | Uses your own account cookie (auth_token) | $0.005–$0.01 per login, by version |
GetXAPI’s pricing page does not list separate prices for replies or quote tweets. The official X API charges $0.015 per post and $0.200 when the post contains a link; TwexAPI charges the same $0.0005 with or without a link.

How hard is it to switch from GetXAPI to TwexAPI?
Both are REST APIs authenticated with an API key, so switching means changing the base URL, the auth header and the endpoint paths. Use the 20,000 free Credits to test your calls before moving production traffic.
