TwitterAPIs vs TwexAPI: Pricing, Endpoints, and When to Use Each

TwitterAPIs is a pay-per-call Twitter data API that gives you access to all endpoints at $0.0008 per read call, $0.0008 per write action, and $0.0016 to post a tweet, with no per-endpoint fee. TwexAPI charges per endpoint: $20 one-time or $0.14 per month per route. For a developer needing 10 endpoints and 50,000 monthly calls, TwexAPI costs $200 upfront while TwitterAPIs costs $40 total with no commitment.

How we source these numbers

Written by Emma, twitterapis developer relations

We priced every TwitterAPIs read call at a flat $0.0008 (source: our published pricing), about 20 tweets per call, so a builder making 50,000 calls a month pays roughly $40, while the same ten endpoints on TwexAPI cost $200 one-time.

Rates re-checked June 13, 2026 against our published pricing and X's developer pricing page.

TwitterAPIs

$0.0008

Per call, pay as you go

  • Every read endpoint: $0.0008 per call
  • Every write action: $0.0008 per call, posting a tweet $0.0016
  • 51 endpoints (37 reads + 14 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

TL;DR: The Verdict

TwexAPI charges per endpoint: $0.14/mo or $20 one-time per route. TwitterAPIs charges per call: $0.0008 per read, all 51 endpoints on one account, no per-endpoint fees. For developers touching 5 or more endpoints at any volume, TwitterAPIs is cheaper to access and easier to bill against. TwexAPI fits narrow single-endpoint workloads where the one-time $20 buy is predictable.

Same Request, Different Model

Both APIs return tweets over plain HTTP. The difference is how you pay: TwexAPI bills per endpoint you subscribe to; TwitterAPIs bills per call you make.

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 51 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 (51 total: 37 read endpoints plus 14 write endpoints) 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, all 51 endpoints on one account, while TwexAPI charges $0.14 per endpoint per month or $20 one time per endpoint.

TwitterAPIs exposes 51 endpoints, 37 read endpoints across tweets, users, search, lists, and the follower graph, plus 14 write endpoints (post a tweet, like, retweet, bookmark, follow, their undos, send a DM, and upload media), 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 51 endpoints, and you are billed only for the calls you make.
