TwitterAPIs vs TwexAPI: Pricing, Endpoints, and When to Use Each
Both services offer Twitter and X API alternatives. They differ on pricing model, endpoint catalog, and account maturity. Here is a side by side reference using public pricing facts only.
TwitterAPIs
$0.0008
Per call, pay as you go
- Every read endpoint: $0.0008 per call
- Every write action: $0.0015 per call
- 29 endpoints (21 reads + 8 writes) on one account, no per endpoint fee
- $0.50 in free credits at signup, no card required
TwexAPI (twexapi.io)
$0.14 or $20
Per endpoint subscription or one time payment
- $0.14 per endpoint per month subscription
- $20 one time per endpoint
- Per endpoint purchase model

| Dimension | TwitterAPIs | TwexAPI |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Pay per call ($0.0008 per read) | Per endpoint ($0.14/endpoint or $20 one time per endpoint) |

Cost Scenarios: 3 Worked Examples
Same workload, both pricing models, math shown. Public pricing as of May 2026.
Hobbyist
1,000 calls per month across 3 endpoints
TwitterAPIs
About $0.80
1,000 calls x $0.0008 per call
TwexAPI
$60 one time, or $0.42/month
3 endpoints x $20 one time, or 3 x $0.14/month
Builder
50,000 calls per month across 10 endpoints
TwitterAPIs
About $40.00
50,000 calls x $0.0008 per call
TwexAPI
$200 one time, or $1.40/month
10 endpoints x $20 one time, or 10 x $0.14/month
Production
500,000 calls per month across 20 endpoints
TwitterAPIs
About $400.00
500,000 calls x $0.0008 per call
TwexAPI
$400 one time, or $2.80/month
20 endpoints x $20 one time, or 20 x $0.14/month
TwitterAPIs math uses $0.0008 per read call. TwexAPI math uses the published $20 one time per endpoint and $0.14 per endpoint per month figures.
When TwexAPI may fit
- Low and stable call volume on a fixed set of endpoints, where a one time per endpoint payment is predictable.
- Finance or procurement teams that prefer a flat per endpoint line item over usage based billing.
- Projects that need only one or two specific endpoints and never plan to add more.
When TwitterAPIs fits
- Elastic or unpredictable call volume, where pay per call avoids paying for unused capacity.
- Endpoint discovery without paying first, since all 29 endpoints are available on one account.
- Established API with $0.50 in free credits at signup, so you can validate fit before any spend.
- Broad endpoint catalog (21 read endpoints plus 8 write actions) covering tweets, users, search, lists, the follower graph, and engagement actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. TwitterAPIs covers the same core Twitter and X data surfaces (tweets, users, followers, search) and adds a broader read endpoint catalog. The main switching factor is the pricing model: TwitterAPIs charges per call ($0.0008 per read) with no per endpoint subscription, while TwexAPI charges $0.14 per endpoint per month or $20 one time per endpoint.
TwitterAPIs exposes 29 endpoints, 21 read endpoints across tweets, users, search, lists, and the follower graph, plus 8 write actions (like, retweet, bookmark, follow, and their undos), on a single account with no per endpoint purchase. TwexAPI publishes a per endpoint purchase model where each endpoint is bought or subscribed to separately.
Yes. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits at signup with no credit card required. That covers around 625 API calls, which is enough to validate response shape, latency, and integration fit before any spend.
For elastic or unpredictable workloads, TwitterAPIs is typically cheaper because you only pay for the calls you actually make. At $0.0008 per standard call you pay $0.80 for 1,000 calls regardless of how many endpoints you touch, versus paying $20 one time or $0.14 per month per endpoint on TwexAPI.
No. TwitterAPIs is pay per call only. There are no monthly subscriptions, no per endpoint fees, and no minimum spend. You add credit, you call any of the 29 endpoints, and you are billed only for the calls you make.
