## Why Xquik wins over Brand24

Xquik is the fastest X data service, & the cheapest per useful result. Public Apify benchmarks ran on 2026-09-27 & 2026-09-29. Xquik's X Tweet Scraper delivered 39.2 useful tweets per second, the fastest. It cost USD 0.000175 per useful tweet, the lowest of 12 Actors. Every run is public on the [benchmark page](https://xquik.com/en/trust#benchmark-x-tweet-scraper).

Xquik publishes reproducible benchmarks with run IDs. Brand24 publishes none.

Xquik bills only delivered, unique, filter-matching results. Empty pages, failed requests, retries, duplicates & filtered rows cost nothing. [Brand24's pricing](https://brand24.com/prices/) sells fixed monthly plans with mention caps. Individual costs USD 249 a month for 2,000 mentions. At full use, that is USD 0.1245 per mention. On Xquik, 2,000 tweets cost USD 0.30. That makes Xquik the cheapest per useful result.

Xquik also returns full tweet text. [Brand24's API page](https://brand24.com/social-listening-api/) says X text fields come back empty.
